Hi BP, Sooooooooo cute! Ever think of local theatre or something like that? As "Dorothy" is walking into the library, I can see the town a little bit, it looks really nice!
Hi UB! Theatre would be fun. I haven't tried that yet! hmmmmmmm.....
DD and I leave for NYC tomorrow! ACCCKKKK! I am having my usual pre-vacation jitters. It will be ok <breathing into bag>. Now to pack, wonder if I can get entire closet and most of house into suitcase?????
Any last minute words of wisdom from the experts on NYC? DD wants to see photography museum and shop. Got tickets to see Macey's fireworks from cruiseship and tickets to see Wicked. Will get "Rent" tickets while there.

I can see someone dressed in costume knocking at the door. Imagine the surprise when the guy opens it and is handed an envelope. Then, after the wild cackle of a witch they are told "You've been served!"
The possibilities are just endless!!!
Enjoy your trip and have a real NYC blast, for those of us who are just home ironing our socks!!!
I will be thinking of you as I bask in this 118 degree heat we are supposed to have in the next day or two.
My sister in law told me today that it has been beautiful up in Boston so I imagine the same type of weather for NYC. She said 60's at night with a wonderful breeze--nothing like living so close to the ocean.
I wish we had some rivers around here!!
Oh--please do get some window seats on the plane so you will be able to see NYC and surroundings from above. It is magnificent. And if you are lucky enough to fly over Washington DC, you might be able to see some stuff as well.

Was2sad! OOOHHHH, I like that. It could be a new hobby...Witch servers: when you want the to put a little more whammy into your court paperwork.....hmmm, I could use a warlock, any takers???
HEY STEELER!! I already booked the window seat but I am sure DD will hog it. The weather says in the 80's with rain. 118!!! That is definitely bikini, sitting in a pool with a margarita weather. Have you ever tried frying an egg on the sidewalk?

I am sure you would look better in a bikini than I would.
The window seat. S16 and I always like to sit together on planes which is odd and the girls like to sit with their dad. Isn't that funny.
We always got the seats that were on the right as we were boarding the plane, in other words the seats that would face the north. Since the plane will probably turn a lot or slant, and if you sit in the middle, you will be able to see, too, but not as good. Hopefully, the pilot will inform you when you fly over something.
NO, never have fried an egg on the sidewalk but maybe we will and the dogs can eat it up.

DD and I just got back this afternoon! NYC was WONDERFUL!! DD and I saw 4 plays, fireworks, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madame Tussands, Ripley's Believe it or Not, 2 days on the hop on/hop off bus and SHOPPED! Everything didn't run smoothly but we just laughed at the bumps and kept going such as ending up on the wrong side of Manhattan to see the fireworks (DD now refuses to believe that I have any sense of direction). We proceeded to jump into a cab and still catch the cruise ship and the fireworks in time! H use to plan out every detail so it was such fun to do things on the fly. We fell asleep on the top of a double decker bus listening to a tour guide droan on about Brooklyn and nearly got run over by taxi cab as we crossed the street a couple of times, saw where John Lennon was killed and all the beautiful architecture. Munched on candy for dinner during a play when we got to busy to eat before and giggled over the weirdest stuff. The bathroom in our hotel was so small that you could sit on the toilet while showering and brushing your teeth. I met people from Albania and South Africa and we got signatures and pictures from the Broadway play actors after the shows. I want to go back!!!
Thoughts of H were there but more in a "glad he is not here" way and I am amazed that I did the whole thing by myself. DD and I got to do what we wanted to and we made it from the airport and back without a hitch. I am thinking that it is ok that he is gone. I WILL be ok and maybe/probably better. I still don't want to go for a divorce but I am happy right now. Tomorrow who knows? but for right now I wish everyone could feel this good!
Now, I just got to find out why the person watching my house was arrested last night. LOL, there's always something!

The lawn mower and I are having a discussion. I keep trying to start it and it doesn't go so I walk back into the house. I guess I have to apply a DB principle: If something doesn't work, don't keep doing it over and over, do something different. Hmmmmm, blame it for all my problems and run away from it, threaten it with replacement of a new mower or actually take it apart and hope that I can see what is wrong and fix it? I called a repair place and they would want $150 to fix it (rough estimate). Acck!!
H is still deep in lalaland. My older dog is looking worse and I am wondering if it is time to let her go? Then I get into a discussion with myself about whether I should contact H and ask if he wants to see her one more time but I believe that would result in the usual...no contact. It is nice in "no contact" land. I almost don't remember what he looked like. It has been 19 months of the only contact being ocassional flowers and present to DD. He still hasn't contacted his parents or sister either. I still want to ask the questions "Does leaving them alone really work?", "Will he come back?", etc. but I am at the point where I the answers don't matter. He will do what he does and I will do what I want to do. I am ok....now the lawnmower on the other hand.....
The jailbird just called. LOL. He was released at 3:00 am today when he made bail. He had an outstanding warrant and a failure to appear in court for it. I didn't press him about the warrant. This is an employee of mine who has worked at the library for about 3 years now and has always been a good worker. I would have loved to be a mouse on the wall when he was running around at midnight asking the police to let him feed the animals. The neighbor said when the police came to take him in, they came silently until they had him in their car and then they sat there for 1/2 hour with lights flashing. This is at midnight! Guess I'll be the talk of the neighborhood!

I am glad you and your DD had such a great time in NYC! You sound so positive and content. I am glad that your H's MLC isn't dragging you down too. Do you think your H is with OW, or just by himself? I thought mine was with OW as a band-aid, but now he married her!! I do believe that the marriage had economic reasons, not committment.
Hey Kris! If I understand right, OW's can still be bandaid's even if they marry them especially if it is economic. YUCK! That would be a marriage made in heaven <gag>. Imagine living with someone only because of their money. You definitely are better off.
I have no idea what my H is doing. H refuses all contact even from DD and parents. DD sent him a "Happy Father's Day" email and he didn't respond. This would have been the perfect opening to reconnect with her and he dropped it. It is so sad but it is his choice, at least he is not making things worse on my end. He is just gone!
