For the Guy with Kids and a WW XV

[hopeful4her]

Nothing much to report today. Not contact with the wife again. I sure did find myself thinking about her a lot, though. The more that I tried not to, the more I did. I still feel good about me, but just thought about her too much.

Karen had me grinning from ear to ear on her thread today. Just having fun.

One good thing. I got out of the office today and went got myself something to drink. I usually skip my lunch, but it was really nice outside and wanted to be out in the sun a bit. I drove around and had a smoke. I bought a pack a week ago and it is only my third one. I found myself passing by the wifes work. I thought about it and told myself that I wasn't even going to look. I drove by and didn't. Not a glance. Made me feel good. I shouldn't have even been passing by, though.

I ended up calling my friend, the coworker that was recently fired in July. I haven't spoken to him in some time. We talked for a bit and he had heard that I was separated. He asked if I was living the "single" life. I said that I HAD been going out a lot. He asked if I had been "getting any". He's not the only one. Most of my guy friends always ask me that. I told him that I'm not single, just separated. We made plans to get together after I get off work, but after work, I rethought it. He gets too crazy when we drink. Better that I get home. Stopped and got a haircut and then talked to S14 and D11 for a bit.

I was trying to talk D11 into going to her school dance tomorrow. She decided not to go because no one "asked" her and her best friend decided not to go. She made up her mind. At least I get to spend extra time with her after I get off tomorrow.

I watched the VP debate. Palin did VERY well for herself. Biden actually did well himself. I have always been interested in the politics of election years. My occupation tends to lean towards Republican and my Hispanic heritage leans to Democrate. I consider myself an Independent. Both candidates are interesting.

I think I'll watch the Sex in the City video finally tonight. Babygirl has piqued my interest in something with Charlotte.

Again, just a night of rambling.
