Hi All
Haven't been around much the past few days with Christmas festivities under way and finishing up classes.
Hope everyone is well.
H and I have been having ups and downs the past week or so. No sex but the ec is getting a little better. Hopefully we can combine the ec and sex for the holidays
I'm about to leave for a Cookie Exchange at the neighbors. I've finally come to the conclusion I can't bake. Went through 3 batches of various cookies before making something that seemed fairly edible Oh well. Hopefully I'll take some yummy ones home
Then, I have to finish up the last of the Christmas shopping.
Looks like lots of other posters are busy with holiday "fun" as well.
Talk to everyone later.

LFL.

Cookie exchanges have not heard of that being done in years.
I am with you on the cookie front. I can bake alot of things but cookies are not my thing.

I still have shopping to do also. Having a problem with figuring out stocking stuffers for the teenage boys?

Nickleback and me are cleaning today. Okay so they are not cleaning but being my motivation to clean. Oh the holidays!
Fun fun.
My little sister is flying down the day after Christmas to spend a few days. Really gotta get things in order so I have time to spend instead of her follow me from room to room while I clean.

H and I are 6 for 10 on the sex count for the month. We even had a few moments of relaxed conversation afterwards while lying in bed the other night. Of course it was about S14 wrestling abilities but hey no disagreement popped up so it was a baby step.

Hope you are enjoying the things you are doing this holiday season.


BF seems to be missing in action. Along with Lou and some others hope that means they are having a good busy holiday season to!

Have a good day!

I LOVE the slice and bake sugar cookies that come in a roll! They are the best. Have them as frozen as possible and use a very sharp knife. You can always put icing or something on them if you feel the need to personalize them. The two-toned ones are especially good-- the ones with hearts that come out at Valentine's day and the Halloween ones. I guess there are Christmas two-tones ones, too.

Hi Chrissy and Lil
Well, the cookie exchange was fun. I love my neighborhood. All of the women just sat around drinking and talking about our H's. lol. No real mention of the cookie's until the last 10 minutes when we all just took a few of each and went on our way. I got some good ones too! yummy
Anyways, everyone was very interested in the goings-on in the LFL household. Is H back for good? How are things going? blah blah Not really something you want to be center of attention for but oh well. Actually, I was in stiff competition with a fellow neighbor for worst overall year. Her H ended up almost committing suicide and now is in round-the-clock mental health treatment. They're still sticking it out together for now. At least I'm on somewhat of an upswing. Let's hope.
I'm having a hard time finishing up the Christmas shopping but it's almost done. I'm really drained with the holidays right now. Just want it over with. Just want 2005 over with. Hopefully next year will be better.

Hey Cookie Monster.

Hopefully next year will be better.

Though I love pulling your pig tails, your not a little girl.

Your a mother, wife and Hard working woman. Im sure you will be able to MAKE next year a better year.
with your new attitude and commitments.

Hey!

Cookie monster is my twin daughters 2nd favorite sesame street character, after Elmo. OK, random comment out of the way.

Ditto BF's comments. I can hear something simmering under the surface in your comments, but overall, you do seem to be thinking about things in a slightly more positive light. Give yourself some time these holidays to just sit and think about things, talk to the H, and enjoy being alive and having great kids. That's what I plan to do, well, talk to the W not the H.

Thanks BF and Chrome
You guys are awesome.
I am going to make 2006 better, can't be much worse than 2004-2005
If nothing else, I am a stronger person and getting stronger. I cannot control my H and his decisions but I can control my reaction to him. There is power in that alone.
So far, things with H are on the upswing. He seems really freaked out lately that he was able to get to the point of leaving. I'm glad he is having these realizations but it also makes me nervous that he really seems so detached from the actions. Like he wasn't "himself" and therefore, not really responsible. He would never say that but the implication is somewhat there. I do worry about him doing something similar in the future, but like I said, I cannot control him. And no matter what happens between us, I will be ok. Maybe even great.
I really appreciate your continued support BF. I know you are making a lot of progress on your own issues and despite the D, I'm sure that introspection will help you immensely in your next R.
Chrome, you know I just think your the bee's knees! You are also an inspiration. You have made so much progress on your self-esteem and your attitude is so much stronger. I'm feeding off of some of that if you don't mind. I promise not to deplete the energy force. (ok, now I am sounding too much like a sci-fi geek)
Anyways, enough gushing.
Gotta go and run an errand.
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate everyone's continued feedback and support. You've helped more than I could ever express.
Still lots more work to be done (but what else is new).
LFL

You guys are awesome.

We know.

Is that bombastic enough?

LOL. I kill me.

"Chrome, you know I just think your the bee's knees!"

I hope that was a compliment. And even so, what the heck does it mean?

"You are also an inspiration. You have made so much progress on your self-esteem and your attitude is so much stronger. I'm feeding off of some of that if you don't mind. I promise not to deplete the energy force. (ok, now I am sounding too much like a sci-fi geek)"

Thanks LFL Feed all you want at the chromo-trough. There's enough to go around. I am feeling better about myself and my future. W and I haven't exactly had the most stellar convos or interactions today, but I don't care. I'm starting to think more long term and not getting stuck in the bad moments. Go ahead and sound like a sci-fi geek. I love em, and I am one!

Ok Chrome, "bee's knees":

A bee's "corbiculae", or pollen-baskets, are located on its
tibiae (midsegments of its legs). The phrase "the bee's knees",
meaning "the height of excellence", became popular in the U.S. in
the 1920s, along with "the cat's whiskers" (possibly from the use
of these in radio crystal sets), "the cat's pajamas" (pyjamas were
still new enough to be daring), and similar phrases which made less
sense and didn't endure: "the eel's ankle", "the elephant's
instep", "the snake's hip". Stories in circulation about the
phrase's origin include: "b's and e's", short for "be-alls and
end-alls"; and a corruption of "business".

So there you go. Doesn't make much sense, but then again, do I ever?!
