Oh my God! I am so sorry, everyone....I somehow managed to get sucked back into EQ (Everquest) and I have neglected my online family. Of course, as my wonderful man pointed out, I was tuning everyone else out as well. So, I took a much needed break from the computer, so I could spend time with some of the "real" people in my life, and now that I think I have my addiction under control, I am back!
Let's see, what's been going on? Well, for starters, I have been watching Live! With Regis and Kelly EVERY morning, because damn it, I'm gettin' me a new van!! It's my new religion!
I started a newsletter for my whole family, and surprise, surprise, no one wrote back. I gave them my phone number, email address, and home address, and practically begged for them to send me information on how everyone is doing, so I can include it in the next months newsletter, and not a single person has even MENTIONED the damn letter, with the exception of my brother when he called me to say "Guess what I got in the mail today....This really crappy newsletter done by some woman who won't leave me alone...." of course he was only kidding, but he's the only person to mention the damn thing. I think I will do a few more months, and if I still haven't heard from anyone by June, then I am just going to give up.
Uuummm....OH! And I'm finally FINALLY in control of my finances, and by the end of the year, I should be completely out of debt! YAY! So I will actually be able to buy a house by the time I'm 30....I'm hoping for a LOT sooner than that, and with Dave's help, I am pretty confident that it will happen.I've been a horrible "Cookie Mom" with the whole Girl Scouts thing, but then again, this troop kind of blows. None of the moms are really involved, you can tell that most of them are just there to give their daughters something to do other than bother them, and even the leader doesn't really know what the hell she's doing. So I think I've given up on this year’s troop, and I'll just wait until next year, when LeeAnna will be a junior.
I'm applying to be an electrician’s apprentice. There's a ball straight out of left field, right? Me, all girly-girly, is going to be applying for "man's" job. But, I was reading up on the programs that are available up here, and I qualify beyond what they are looking for, and the pay is OUTRAGEOUS!! If I was to get hired, I could be out of debt in something like 2-3 months instead of 11. And they subtly hint that they are looking for woman desperately because woman RARELY apply for these positions. Which is an added bonus....plus, my first husband was an electrician and through "osmosis" I learned quite a bit. Even though I can go into it not knowing a damn thing.
My cousin got married last month. That was a shocking phone call. She calls me from Vegas, right after the ceremony, and tells me she just got married. This is the woman who, every time I talked to her, she would tell me she was happily in love, that T was the perfect man....then I would call her a week or so later, and she hated him, she was moving out, she never wanted to see him again, and I would talk to her a few days later, and she was back in love with him. And it kept flip-flopping like that. So you can imagine my concern when my bestest friend, whom I love so dearly and want to literally chop the head off of any man who hurts her (and I'm not talking the head that sits on top of the shoulders...mmmhhhhmmm), calls me and tells me that she just got married. But so far, she seems very happy. And still in love, and loves being a wife. I guess her problem in the past was she was always with men who refused to make a serious commitment to her. Well, I wish you nothing but the best woman! Prove us all wrong sweetie! And don't take marriage advice from me or any other person who's been divorced as many times as I have! LOL
Thinking, thinking ... well, I think that's all the update my poor tired little fingers can take for now! And don't worry, this time I am back for good! I have a little note taped to my monitor reminding me to post....its right under "Enter to win van at Live's website!"
Until later, Ciao!

I just had that part of the conversation with a friend of mine the other day - both of us have been divorced more times than we cared to admit.. and I havent been married long enough to give ANY sort of marital advice, although this marriage is COMPLETELY different and I'm happy and for the first time in, ever - I still love him and get butterflies every day like the first time we started dating... BUT, that doesnt mean we have what it takes to last.. come to me in 10 years and then MAYBE I'll be able to give you a piece of advice.. MAYBE.
=)
