Ready to GAL...Drop the Rope...Detach..2...

[ddstartingover]

OK, well maybe not a failure then. I did take an extra effort to look my best. However, this emotional weight gain makes it very difficult. That is my primary focus now. I have to get in shape. I need to feel better about myself.

I think I did a good job at staying upbeat. I think his quick departure after I opened gifts may have been because he was beginning to feel too comfortable.

On the subject of gifts..........H gave both of them away. Yesterday morning I told him D11 was busy working on a project outside---he said "oh the hand print thing??" I said I don't know she won't let me see..........then when he came for dinner he asked "did you get that picture thing (digital picture frame) figured out............." I said, I don't know, haven't opened gifts yet...........

D11 worked half the day yesterday on my "stepping stone." She did it all herself, with help from S9. Which means, reading directions.............She decided it couldn't be in the heart shaped mold because she needed it to be bigger, so she poured it out onto some waxed paper. She worked for so long, in the heat that it dried out too much. Most of it's powdery and falling apart-----which makes me sick. I love it, of course, because it is pure D11! But, I'm afraid it will be impossible to keep.......I'll have to try to find something to preserve it with.

H promptly left after I plugged in my frame and the pre-loaded pictures of family started playing........kids playing, vacation spots, wedding photos. I said, hey maybe I'll just keep these pictures----pictures of real vacations and kids getting along (to be funny)...........sure hope it made him think, some more!!

Thanks for the support, BFM.
