You can't watch stuff like that anymore! From now on, you're back to watching Bugs & Friends (what a maroon... we say that a lot in our house) or TLC. No more weepy stuff!
Geez, if you have to watch something with a plot, start watching the Discovery Channel--there is a show that airs here at 10:00pm called Covert Operations. I swear to God that it's beyond thrilling, and the espionage is amazing. It is not good stuff for me to fall asleep on, though...
Last night's episode was an amazing rescue in Peru...
You're banned from the chick flicks!
But GO YOU! You and your H are doing some amazing stuff, girl. Just go back from the beginning and read up until now.
Proof is here for the taking...

Okay, you heard Betsey…keep away from those chick flicks! That means if you do take your lovely self to a movie this weekend, you must refrain from seeing anything relationship oriented, that will make you weep or that will cause you to call your H on his trip and confess your undying love. Got it missy???
Wow, the phone bug seems to have bit many on the boards last night! I guess I should be grateful it stayed away from me…or should I consider that a star on my fish-sobriety chart? Either way…I don’t think yours did any damage. Your H will either respond or ignore – and you’re used to both!
Go you! but NOT the chick flicks!

So, I guess the double feature of "Love Story," and "Steel Magnolias" that I had planned for tonight is out, huh? Likewise the bottle of wine, too. Man, you guys are tough!
Well, H just called. He said, (and I could hear the smile in his voice), "thank you for the message." Me: "Hey!" H: "Oh, that's right, I wasn't supposed to mention it!"
So, no major damage control to do. Guess what? I'm not even all crazed about the fact that there was no, "I love you, too." All in good time....
Thank God he called though! I just finished a big cheeseburger.... no telling what else I would have worked my way through while stewing over this....
Thank you, my guardian angels. Although, I hate to be bossy, but instead of helping me sweep up my mistakes, could you please swoop down and prevent them instead? Once again, I am thankful for you guys. It sure is nice to have a place to come to...
Oh, Man, I missed a bio on Ellen? I love her! Actually, S15 and I played multiple games of chess (he kiced my butt every time!) while watching "Gone with the Wind." That was just for the history, not the romance...so I think that it was o.k! S15 has a photographic memory, so he knows just about any detail of the Civil War that he has ever read. It was a really nice afternoon. I am going for a re-match, but have no hopes of beating him. I think I'll try Trivial Pursuit next!
H called yesterday. I was having a low PMA day, and not hiding it too well. He asked what was wrong, and I said that it was difficult to have so many unresolved issues with him- and that I just felt like I had lots to say but couldn't since he was away. He said, "I'm so sorry, because believe me, I know how frustrating that is." He even repeated that statement later. I really don't know what it means... I ended the conversation by saying that I wanted him to have fun, and I didn't want to come across as thinking he shouldn't have taken the trip. I said that I was jealous of him soaking up the sun, but that perhaps next time the two of us could do something. (Good suggestion, Betsey!) He said, "That would be nice!" So, he said, "I'll call you tomorrow, if that's o.k?" I just laughed and said of course it was, I would take as many calls as he wanted to make! I said, "I just want you to call because it's what you want to do." He said he understood, and that he would talk to me after his game today. So, there you have it. All in all, I guess good. It is a lot better than him agreeing to go away with me in the fall, but only to "talk things over, not as a means of making things better." And, so the SLOW saga continues...
Pam, I think it was a good conversation. It doesn't matter about you being a little down ( it does to us, we care about you). You handled the call and he was pleasant and receptive. So, where do you want to go???
