Albany,

Things r sounding better & better, keep up the good work.

Hope you get your date.

Thanks BBYG! Have a great time out on the town tonight.

I shall indeed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Albany - you said you and your dd love salsa - I've got one for you to try! You'll find it in the "specialty salsas" section of your grocery. It's SalPica brand, and it's green olive, cilantro, verde (smoked tomatillos) salsa. OMG! It'll make your toes curl, it's so good!

Hope you have a great weekend.

- Kimmy

I will have to try the salsa--I will have an excellent weekend--things to do outside--hate to be locked up inside this time of year with inside stuff to do.

H came over yesterday after work and he worked on his Toyota's--has serious issues with them like me and shoes and don't forger purses <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

He helped my parents re-tarp the hay-the wind blew it off yesterday. We talked about what he was going to do to his landcruiser and then I said I want to use part of tax refund for new carpet in our great room and I want to paint it and he said yes that would be great.

He really acts as if he is staying around for the future with US. He came back over after being at my parents to just say goodnight and then he went home but we had a great night.

He is coming by tonight again. He seems so happy right now and we both our-I think he is seeing me in a different light now. Both having this long ongoing tax thing settled has relieved us greatly-got the final number in the mail yesterday--we will be completely settled with fed. tax (IRS) once we accept and sign off on dollar figure-5100.00-for one year it was 184.00 plus int. & penalties made it 690 and then the other year was 2000.00 with 2000.00 in interest and 500.00 in penalties--mind you we tried to get them to deal with this in 1996 but no they wouldn't do anything until now so we have to pay the interest from 1995 til now--frustratin on the interest part but done. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Frustrating also because this investigation stemmed from not us but H's Uncle and so whole family was looked at on taxes with a fine tooth comb.

Anyway all in all good. Very happy with everything right except of course OW having OC--but really it hasn't bothered my mood because I'm not going to let her affect my life that way.

Exactly--20 years old when fling started and worked for min. wage drving a tractor where my H use to work--because her new soon to be step-dad is a part owner--family owned business and then after that she back to work for min. wage at a craft store while she went to comm. college and took child development classes--when my H saw her school books that work him up but it was about 3 weeks too late. She went to college two terms and didn't go her last when I guess because she was due in June. She has said that she would go back in the fall but I doubt it and so does H--she is worthless--not a real smart one but but smart enough to work the system I think--she turned 21 a few weeks before OC was born.

Okay I won't continue on about a waste flesh. But, what a piece of work--totally taking after her mom-she has a dad 1 sis and 1 bro sahare a dad and youngest bro. (7 or 8) has a third dad who is in prison for sexual molestation. Lovely family.

Today is suppose to be good weather-yeah! Sprayed all my weeds in the yard night, did laundry and I'm caught up so I will just mow the lawns this weekend and hopefully get some tan on my legs--gonna have to fake and bake soon because white legs are just unattractive.

- Kimmy

No one is around hardly today ont he board.

I may be resorting to sunless tanner also. Rather get a real tan though. Certainly don't want to be sitting at my desk today.

Oh and my boss just called. He actually wanted me to (gasp, choke) do some work....ick! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Luckily, it's easily done and requires minimal thinking....hehehehe!

- Kimmy

Yah! Me too!

I'm actually working though--correcting timesheets and get payroll ready to process on Monday for 250 employees. UCK! It fairly brainless though--that is good.

Albany,

Glad to hear things r going so well w/ H. U r right, don't waste any brain cells on thinks of the WCW - she ain't worth it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Remember living well is the BEST revenge!

Can I get an AMEN to that. Its a long road ! But we will all make it to where God wants us to be. I glad things are looking up and keep it up !!! Just remember you are so much more of a LADY than she! Have a great weekend

Okay, al...here's my big piece of advice for the day. I figure I need to end the week with something really good, awe-inspiring in fact! You ready for this?


...Use the sunless tanner. You'll thank me when you're my age!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Sit down and hold on because you might fall down if you aren't prepared!

H was talking about a camper again and said we should wait till we find just what we want etc. and he said to me(I had asked how we would afford a payment) what I pay for rent and power is way more than enough for a payment! We agreed to wait until next year.

The big deal is that I think that he is finally coming around. He mentioned now more apt. I think that way too many good things have happened this week. This is all scaring me.

AD~you may have been right about we really had something--you could tell all along--you are a smart woman. I kinda understand because I really think that JT2's H will come around eventually when things mellow out for her and he pulls his head completely out of his [censored]!

Feeling good and I'm happy and I think that has helped a lot in itself H has seen that and I'm fun to be around again. H hasn't stayed overnight or anything but you know I just keep acting indifferent and when he says he is going to his apt. I say okay--I'm not going to make the requests--he can ask or come if he wants to but he needs to do it not me.

Okay the weather was 76 and nearly 100% humidity. YUCK! Everything sticks to you and now it isn'y cooling off--I love to open the house all up at night and cool it off for the next day since that is are air conditioning system <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> .

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

We haven't heard from KrisM for a few days and that worries me. Hope things are going well KrisM--at least gives us a quick note to know that you are okay.

KT~how goes it girl--I really think that you should move and become my KTbunch neighbors.

Hi albany,

How's everything going for you? I had a good time this weekend and I am looking forward to getting better. I am going to try and keep my mouth shut about a lot of things that I always comment on. But it looks like your H is going to be home shortly. I am happy for you and wish you all the best. I will be praying for you.

JT

The update:

My H cam eover yesterday after work and we cleaned our shop and made dinner together and he stayed the night--I didn't ask if he was and I didn't comment when he did.

It was great to have him stay but I must say what a bed hog <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I had a better sleep when I got the whole bed to myself <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> now I can't sleep diagonal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> think I outta tell him him I slept better without him? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Just kidding.

So again JT2 I'm with you on the scary part.

AD and BBYG~thanks for keeping me going when I was down and AD thanks for seeing that H wasn't done when I couldn't-glad your feelings about us were right.

Try to push the "scary" away JT and Albany. When you get scared give it to God. I know it's hard, but the scared-er you are, the more you're apt to LB. BTDT. It's a natual human reaction to stress. Tell yourself, "I'm not putting ALL my duckies in this basket, but I'll enjoy it right at this very minute."

- Kimmy

al~

It's kinda like the "careful what you wish for, ..." thing!

Some real progress on the part of your H, but scary all the same. Who'd a thunk it?

He's getting close to saying he wants to move back in. Got any plans as to how you'll handle that, what you'll say, what you'll do?

I'm so, so happy for you. Things are looking up.

Stay cool though.

Easy does it, and all that...

NO LB's, NO DJ's, even if suddenly he acts as if the mother ship has returned again, okay?

Albany,

Things sound great, & good advice from AD as usual!

Remember - God did not give us the spirit of fear... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
