I'm going to start listing eating ice cream as one of my GAL activities.

Mtnman, how did last night go? For you? For her? You're doing okay today?

What do you have planned for the weekend?

I agree about the camping food. Picnic food outside is great too but camping food or backpacking food....fantastic!

We bought an ice cream maker a coupla years ago and I've tried several recipes and can't really enjoy store bought any more. It's a staple for us.

Can't figure out how H keeps his six-pack while drinking alcohol and eating ice cream at least five days a week. He must really work out hard at the gym!

Hi rH! It went very well. I got home yesterday and w was gone already. One of her good old friends pulled in behind me before I turned my car off. Her daughter and my boys were gone to the movies with a babysitter. So, she proceeds to tell me how honorable my actions are, how everyone sees what's going on, etc, etc. It was nice to hear. She wants to confront w but I advised her not too.

When she left I took the boys to bible school and ate supper at the church. Two other friends of w sat with me. One is the most decent, honest, moral person I know. Her and w are very close in a more aunt/niece type way. Or maybe a sister way. Anyway, she found her chance and said "she hasn't said anything to me or even acknowledged what's going on." I laughed and just said she won't but continue to be a good friend to her. Told her I was not giving up, and dropped it. She smiled and teared up so I knew what she felt. Several people asked where w was and I simply responded "I don't know." I'm not covering or making excuses anymore (thank you Bklyn and al-anon).

After supper I had a soccer coaches meeting for two hours, got back just in time to pick the boys up, then came home for the bath/bed routine. GALd with a bowl of ice cream, slept like a baby.

This morning w texted to ask how everything went, ask about my plans for the day etc. I'm working until lunch, mowing grass, hauling trash, grocery store, swimming and bible school. W is going swimming with us so, according to her, she can beat me in tanning. I didn't know it was a competition but ok. I'm very competitive so at the risk of getting skin cancer, I intend to stomp a mudhole in her butt. She then reminded me that next weekend is her four day trip to the beach. Fine by me.

One other oddity. My brother called me while I was out of town. Said w was texting with his wife all day about one of my female cousins, and that w also started following him and his daughters on Instagram. We had a good laugh about it.

So, I'm doing really well today. (Looks like new thread time.)
