Hi W2G, You sound good. And dont worry about the house. You will sell it before the month is over.
Maybe it is time to do something different. Maybe he needs a gentle push? Yeah, suggest that he sleeps over or even combine what the girls suggested. First arrange you two do what T suggested(surpise him maybe?) and THEN invite him at your home?(I am greedy, I know!!)
Jen - I read what I wrote over and over again trying to figure out the pun.... man, I was SLOW!!! I did get it in the end.. you clever girl! Thanks for the laugh!
T - I'll visualize handing over the deed too! And maybe I should visualize doing the deed too?? It's been a while!!!
His work is ramping up again to finish production for this season.. and I have to admit that I'm a little anxious about it.. 'cause we are coming up on the anniversary of the bomb and I had no idea it was coming... so I'm slightly worried that work stress will cause him to have another crisis of some sort. I know there isn't anything that I can do to stop it.. and I keep the anxiety to myself.. but it's there in the back of my mind quite a lot!
K - from your typing fingers to God's ears (about selling the house by the end of the month)!! That would be amazing!
Ali - I totally thought of you when I had the gonads to ask for a raise after only working there a week!!! You are a role model in getting the job you want!!!
Hi W2G, I am sending out more positive vibes with the sale of your house. You can't continue commuting 1.5 hrs each way. Your house needs to sell quick. GL to you.

I need to go over to newcomers and see how you're doing!
Hello All,
TGIF!!!!!!! I'm beat. Thankfully it's the weekend however I will be having an open house on Saturday and Sunday.. once the house is sold a few great things will happen.. obviously I've mention the commute.. it'll be ba-bye! Then there will be the cash flow.... the savings is non-existent at this point.. so some of that money is going to help keep me financially sane (I get anxiety over having debt.. although I'm trying to get myself a little more in control about it), I'll have my weekends again!!!! Every weekend (almost) I'm trying to have open houses so it takes away from going anywhere or really doing much (like visiting friends and family)!!!
So... I'm once again putting this out into the universe! MY HOUSE SOLD THIS WEEKEND!!!! (now it's bound to happen.. the universe has heard it so it must be so!)
Still no bites on the house.. but it will happen!!!!! I am maintaining positivity!
I'm reading a book called "The Host" right now and I can't get into it. (It's a frivolous fiction book.) I don't like it when that happens.. feels like a waste of money when I don't read it and books aren't cheap!
So what's going on in my little corner of the world?? Not too much. Still working 3 days a week.. D3 is doing so much better at daycare.. I can't believe it! I'm wondering if it's the turning 3 thing?? I don't know but I am pleased!
Mentioned to my boss that if he's needing me full time in the near future that maybe I'm not the person for the job.. (because I'm not going to go full time until my house is sold, I'm in an apartment downtown and I have D3 all set up and comfortable in a new daycare.) He said that he didn't want me to stress about it and that we would make it work because he would rather wait for the right person then hire the wrong one. I guess he thinks I'm the right person.
What's going on with H? Who the heck knows? Certainly not me and doubtfully him. We had pretty good interaction this evening. He came over and we watched a couple of episodes of Dexter Season 2. Man I love that show. He's working nearby tomorrow and he thought the location was some place much farther. So I said "let's bet on it (the location).. what's the wager?". and he said "Date night". To which I asked... "so the winner gets to decide what we do for a date night" and he said "yes". In the end, I was right and he was wrong. Not sure when date night will happen since his schedule is jam packed!
Oh, I should mention that this week I told him that I didn't think it would be a good idea to spend the holidays together this year if we're not together.. because I don't want to have another holiday like last year. And he said that it wouldn't be like that and that he never wants to have another holiday like last year either. He said he was in such a dark place and in so much pain so he will never want to relive it. Interesting stuff huh?
Took D3 to the movies this afternoon. She calls it the "Big TV". She loves it. We went and saw Igor. I thought it was okay but I can't say that I loved it. I don't think it was highly rated by my daughter though either. Speaking of the poor thing... D3 has a really bad cough. She coughed so much today that she threw up... my baby... She was so scared. Thankfully it only happened the one time. I hope she's feeling better in the morning.
Hi! So sorry about your D. That happened to my D about 2 years ago and she still mentions it sometimes. I hope she feels better soon. You can give her a spoon of honey to relieve the irritation.
Your house will sell and soon.
What do you think would be good date? U'm sure we can help you figure something out

It's good to see you!.. *hugshugshugs* You're impressive on how upfront you are, facing things head on rather than fretting.
With the house, worst case you can bring in realtors if you're concerned about your short term goals (getting more $$$) conflict with your long term (not going into the hole).
I read "The Host". Stick with it. It's not the Edward/Bella sensual love conflict. It's about survival and belief in the midst of adversity. While reading it, I had to shift my expectations and go with the flow. Just cuz it's not the same doesn't mean it's bad.
OhhhHHH... sounds like our lives, huh?
Date night? Why wait for him to tell you when it's a good time. Tell him! One of my favorite mantras : "You always have time for a funeral." A bit morbid, I know but it puts things into perspective for me.
