Well, H didn't call again. I checked my e-mail and he responded to the e-mail with the pics that I sent last night. That was surprising. He usually doesn't respond. He said they were "awesome". Trust me, they were not. He very nicely offered constructive criticism my suggesting I adjust the flash. He is into photography. I'm just a point and shooter. Anyway, he was nice about it.
My SIL made me squeeze into a size 5 pair of jeans today. I can't remember the last time I wore a size five.
It is very hard for me to cut the phone calls short. I feel like I am being rude. I don't want him to feel rejected. However, when I felt rejected, I responded by bending over backwards to reach out to him and make him happy. Maybe there is something to this. Well, it's scary to me, but we shall see what happens. It is a work of art to end a phone call gracefully.
I'm not even 30 yet, and I feel like everything is loose and hanging too. Luckily, I am still nursing, so at least my breasts are valuable assets at the moment. With the right clothes, you don't notice my imperfect abs. Without clothes? Yikes! Let's not go there.
Tomorrow is another day. Let's make it a good one!

Boy oh boy, I hear ya. Why do we do this????
Good job cutting the calls short. If he questions you, maybe accusing you of being rude, just calmly say "Oh I'm sorry, its just that S2 just knocked over a bowl of cereal..." or something of that sort.
I ended the call first tonight with my H and he was surprised as well. Usually I'll hang and hang until he ends it.
I don't know why, when we are rejected, we respond by begging for more. It's absurd, but it seems to be the norm. Go figure. Common sense went out the window with fidelity.

Isn't it funny how they try so hard to reach us and get so annoyed when we don't answer. My H rejected so many of my calls, didn't want anything to do with me for a long while. Even when it was a valid reason to call, he would ignore, but heaven forbid I am not sitting by the phone if he gets a whim to call.
Ooh ooh...that happens to me too!!
Makes me not want to answer the phone at all so I ahve been putting it on vibrate whilst at work so I can't hear it and can pretend I haven't been checking it every half hour (or more).
In Australia our sizes are different. I'm not sure how. I have been comfort/impulse eating a lot in the last six months (after losing a bit more weight when h first left). I'm only just squeezing myself into size 12. I am 173cm (bout 5ft8) tall and 80kg heavy. I should be between 70 and 75kg - then I look HOT!
The sizes confuse me too. I think here in the States a size 0-4 is Extra Small, Sizes 4-6 is Small, Sizes 6-10 is Medium, 10- 14 Large, 14-18 Extra Large? Then most stores stop carrying the plus sizes.
I think it is funny that Angela on the Office is so petite and demure that she cannot even wear children's clothing because it is "too flashy", so she wears doll clothes!!!

omg, mk, that cracks me up so much about angela, I can't tell you. she says she wears the american girl clothes, right? lol.
sizes are so arbitrary even here in the states. men have it so much easier, since its a measurement...a 32 waist is a 32 waist, none of this 2, 4, 6, 8 business.
