Just wanted to say that I think you are doing great and you are such an inspiration to me. I know how hard it is to keep on going 'for yourself', without BF watching.... and you have been at this no-contact thing for so long! Good for you!
Cool that you noticed your friend 'DB'. It is so attractive when someone is happy and centered - people are just drawn to them.
I've bought ingredients to make your berry and ricotta muffins, but haven't actually made it to baking them yet! See how you've helped me GAL. Actually its amazing that I'm even considering baking. I had done almost zero housework, and hadn't cooked in 5 months. As you can imagine the house was out of control, and I was getting sick of frozen food or snacks.... A 180 for me, but not a good 180! Anyway I feel like I'm finally turning a corner, and am more back to the real me - who cares about housework and home-cooked meals!
