I LOOOOOVE baba ganoush! But have failed miserably when I tried to make it! Did your recipe turn out yummy? Please share it!
Also, loving the silver shoes! They are so stylish and go with anything-I have to be picky about shoes because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis but am dying for a pair!
So were your jeans fitting in all the right places- showing off your feminine curves?
Just need to get some false eyelashes now! Totally kidding- besides you have your natural beauty!
I understand about procrastination and won't dare to make suggestions about that because I know you must already know. I read somewhere that some people just work better with last minute and they still meet their deadlines.

So today went really well. Spent the morning with the kids and parents outside in the forest...it felt like a spring day and all the leaves are new and fresh on the trees and shrubs....Dinner for eight came together easily though. I made Moroccan spiced lamb, tabbouleh, and served pita with hummous and baba ghanoush. We had cactus fruit for dessert.
sounds wonderful! I'm amazed you can just pull together dinner for 8- wow.

It sucked when H came home for bedtime. I was really appalled that he was barely even polite to my mother. They have always had a warm relationship.
that sucks. You would hope that he could still be civil to the rest of the family.

But it was great to have the positive energy of eight family members who are rarely all together. I did find myself able to ignore my sitch for good long stretches and that felt GREAT.
That's wonderful, FM. Even if it's fleeting, those moments of feeling better or ignoring/forgetting (as you know) will increase in frequency and duration. I'm glad you had one yesterday!

I totally cheated last night . I bought the baba ghanoush and hummous from a Lebanese supplier because it's amazing. Bought the pita too. The lamb was slow roasted with a delicious spice rub (packaged ).
non-authentic Tabbouleh:
combine cooked quinoa (start with 1/2 c dry quinoa, cook on the dry side with a bit of olive oil) 4 big bunches of Italian parsley, chopped fine 1 tomato, chopped fine 1 cucumber, chopped fine juice of 3 lemons vinegar to taste salt to taste
Usually I cook things mostly from scratch but it was nice to take shortcuts.

Saw on another thread that you are 3 months into being dim with your H. I will be finishing two weeks with my W tomorrow and there has been NO contact from either of us. It certainly has helped me to detach but I do wonder in the back of my head if it is like a game of chicken that we are both playing where each of us isn't going to give the other one satisfaction in being the first one to make contact. Have you noticed it having any kind of affect on your H? I believe that it is good for me and I hope that it is not so good for my W but it's hard to know.
Sorry to interrupt the food talk!

According to my sister they are acceptable . The pants I wore today look pretty darned OK IMO. I might wear them on Saturday night. Kinda dreading Saturday night. Going with sister, BIL and parents to a "dine and dance Italian supper club". Sister really wants to go there but ugh ...I can't imagine a more "couple-ish" kind of place to go. I'm guessing it will feel pretty uncomfortable for me.

I haven't noticed any effect on my H from being dim. My sitch is a bit unusual though, in that H is participating in the dim-ness so it's mutual. I think he is pretty set on D and doesn't really have mixed feelings about it...that he's demonstrating in any way at least. The dim is helping me though. I'm gradually detaching and seeing my life as separate from his.
Good luck with your sitch!
