There and Back, #8

hey ladies,

awww, you all are sweet to check up on me. I'm sorry I never made it on yesterday. just a busy day...gym, off to the farm for a re-do of the hedge maze, getting their things packed up for the sleepover. I was meeting a friend up near where H works so instead of him picking the kids up here, I met him there. we left early due to holiday traffic issues and OUCH...will still sat in a ton of it (for those outside of new england, its a holiday weekend here, columbus day is monday and schools/some businesses are closed).

did a little shopping, had fun with my girfriend. I think I officially burnt out on shopping. I am not a huge shopper to begin with...don't get me wrong, I like to get new things here and there, but I hate SHOPPING. Maybe that's why I like smaller stores like ann taylor/banana republic/gap, rather than dept stores. and I still haven't found much in the way of fall/winter clothes. I need to buy stuff, its not a choice, I need to, but I swear I am just being too picky. but I had a great time. ran into another friend who I haven't seen in a long time. someone H and I used to work with, she practically was match-maker for us, and she was asking about him. I just couldn't tell her, so just said he was fine. hey, at least I didn't burst into tears and rant her ear off, right?

btw, in case you were wondering, I met H at a store near the mall. he got there just about 10 minutes after me and I swear he looked at me like he couldn't stand me. nice, huh? guess I'm back to being evil morgan in his eyes.

today I am debating on going to the gym or skipping it. I kind of want to skip it, which is so wrong, but I already have it in my head that I can make up the day tomorrow, so think I'll do that. that way I'll have my endorphins nice and up for when H gets here with the kids in the morning. so think I'm going to just go ahead and get dressed today and head out for one last attempt at finding some clothes.

I've decided to spend today on my own. I need an on-my-own day...I'm going to run some errands, get some much-needed stuff done around here, and am going to pull out some of the new books I just bought and start them. may just re-read parts of DR, too.

part of me is a wee bit sad, because when I called the kids this morning, H told me he might take them to this ren. faire that is nearby. I was thinking about taking the kids there at some point, but its not around much longer and I haven't gotten around to it. I think they will have a ton of fun, so when H told me he was thinking of taking them, I just got a little sad. I did not ask if I could tag along, because honestly I want my me day. selfish, but I want/need it. H didn't ask me if I wanted to go, btw. no storyland repeat here.

well, I'm babbling. hope everyone has a great saturday! am trying here. 2 days in a row with no meltdowns/breakdowns. can't promise the same today, but I've got a lot I want to get done, even if it is a me day, so likely will be too busy, anyway. we shall see.
