Oh yeah... nut... that was the "bad reaction" I was speaking of. If I were truly on the right path, I would've not even mentioned the ring... or just said "cool" when she flipped it around.
I did notice a smile of satisfaction on her face when she asked if I was mad.
Tomorrow the girls go back to Mom's until Xmas eve morning. I will take the long stretch to go out and have fun.. get my shopping done and try to meet some new people.
I'm not necessarily lonely, but I would like to have a female to talk to. Need some external validation.. probably not a good thing, but it is what it is. I've taken my lumps on this go round and need a little boost.
I think after the New Year, things will be MUCH different. I can rest assured that certain things will be taken care of. The last few "negative" glitches will be removed. Once that is done, I think all kinds of paths will open.
