Hanging On To What I Believe In - 2

[ba065]

Hi T and Grace: Thanks for checking in on me! Well...I came home last night and made a big pot of homemade beef vegetable stew...haven't done that for ages! H was at school, so I enjoyed myself in the kitchen. I really don't cook all that much since the kids left for school. I'm off this Friday and have decided to 1) not tell H that I have the day off..and..2) go to the movies and eat buttered popcorn. This is totally out of character for me. I've never been to the movies alone before. Haven't decided what to see yet...a chick flick probably since H won't ever watch them. Also a former co-worker emailed me and he will be in town on Friday...he invited me and some of the others in my office to meet him for "happy hour". I think I might go. He's a friend of both H and I and I would be there with other people I work with, so I don't think it would be inappropriate. Plus, he was the office clown and always made everyone laugh...so I think I would really enjoy seeing him. He and his wife moved about an hour away last fall. I haven't decided if I will tell H about him coming...I probably will because I think H would enjoy seeing him too and if H doesn't want to come, I'll go anyway.

So....I'm taking baby steps towards GALing...thanks to you for your encouragement. The little steps don't seem as overwhelming as when you're looking at the GREAT BIG PICTURE!!!!

Hugs to you all!
