Hey Db buddies,

Can't believe that my thread is locked already?

WHOWOULDOFTHOUGHT?

Well, as for me..I was reading an interesting blurb in OW Bandaid thread by IMP. I think I need to address a VERY important issue..

Well, I read there was reference to "The Scream" painting..you know, the one that is all spooky that resembles the stance from the kid in Home Alone movies..

I just thought I would share a tidbit of info will all of you folks..Now, not to many people know this..

Ya ready?

He is my GREAT UNCLE!! Edward Munch..Who was the artist to the painting..

I know, I know, psychosis probably runs in my family, too, seeing who my relatives are..lol

My grandparents were straight off the boat from Norway in the early 1900's so my brother decided to trace our roots. Actually, he is a writer, as well, and wrote a novel about our Norwegian relatives..

Not published yet, but we are keeping our fingers crossed.. ;\)

Anyway, that post made me laugh when I read it last night on IMP's thread..was going to respond but it was locked, too.

We need to start a thread about our encounters with famous people..related, neighbor, whatever..could be fun.

Too tired to start the thread, though..

Anyway, I have been home suffering from this dam* sinus infection. Seems as though the antibiotic didn't kick in so I have to call my dr.

Been busy getting a business plan togehter for my tutoring business. I have been online taking notes and putting together guidelines on how to help kids with their reading and writing.

As for the XH, he has been away so all is quiet. I anticipate some feathers getting ruffled upon his arrival tonight to get the kids. I don't plan on going outside to talk to him. I have been dark since he text me all those nasty things.

Went through my old threads last night. Wow, it was incredible to read what happened to me in 2004 and 2005. I have to admit, I did DB my heart out and I was proud of myself for that. Woo Mama..I thought I was worse mentally but after reading all my posts I was pretty strong back then, too. For all the crap I was dealing with (XH playing both sides of the fence with the Rat and myself) I had my head on (relatively) straight.

As for New Guy, he took the kids to the movies for me the other day so I could get some work done. Then, over his house for pizza that night. I do notice that my S13 is an exceptionally good mood when New Guy is around. In fact, I think S likes to be at New Guy's house better than here in our home! As for my D10, she loves New Guy's D8 and they hug when they see each other and get all sad when they say goodbye..I do notice New Guy's D being especially attached to my D. It is really cute. My D is wonderful to her, as well, as she likes the "big sister" role.

As for me, well, it's been a funky week but no news is good news. Summer is coming to a close and that makes me sad since I live a mile from the beach. I grew up on the NJ shore and was a life guard for years. It's great now that my kids are doing the same thing..They are really lucky..

Off I go to do my stuff around here. I have so many things I need to sell on Ebay but too lazy to get started. SA3 made a MINT selling kids ski jackets, etc, on Ebay..

Any of you ever have any luck with that stuff?

I sold a treadmill on Craigs List (a very scaled down version of Ebay) and made 500 bucks!!

Have a great day all..

hugs,
