Magnificent

Last night was interesting. Not anything to do with my sitch, just me in general. Wanted to get the thoughts out there though all the same.

For starters, I went to DivorceCare last night because they were viewing a sermon on anger by Andy Stanley (Dr. Charles Stanley's son and an awesome pastor in his own right). Also, I like to stop by and check in now and then. When I arrived CG was sitting outside talking on his phone. I must say, last night he wasn't just CG but seriously HG! Heavens sakes! A girl could faint. He's grown a bit of a scruffy beard and let his hair grown a little longer. HOT HOT HOT! Yummy......

Ok, dreaming over on that.

I was so sad to see so many new people there last night. Out of 21 people there were only 6 of us that are 'old timers'. So many families being destroyed devastates me. There was good discussion and then afterward I talked with the group leaders to tell them what had transpired this last week. It was a good night all in all.

Afterward, I called my BFF and we had a 2 hour phone convo about all sorts of subjects. She is struggling through some issues with regards to her applications to nursing school. She has been applying for 5 years and the waitlist keeps getting worse and worse. It's really hard to get in even though there is such a shortage of nurses. She's frustrated. We had a convo about God's perfect timing not necessarily matching our own. I hope I was able to help her see the waiting on school as an opportunity to be more "there" for her kids as they are transitioning between middle school and high school. Nonetheless, it was a great 2 hours of girl talk.

Talked to Gabe for a few minutes this morning to ask him if he could take Marc to karate next Monday. Had to call and ask while it was fresh in my mind. I have to work at the market that night. He kept asking me questions, almost like he was trying to extend the convo but I managed to wrap it up without seeming like I was rushing him off (I had to get gas and they freak out if you get out of your car on your cell phone - that whole possibility of explosion stuff).

Hey Mishka

So... did you and HG get taking spill the goss!!!

It sounds like you are handling the Gabe thing like a pro. I can't imagine what feelings it must stir.

[One Day]

Oooh yes, do tell!

And ditto on handling Gabe. I hope he manages to pull himself together, for both his own and Marc's sake.

Handling like a pro? No, just handling it with the tiny, pea-sized bit of emotional steel I have. It's hard to keep the old emotions from popping up. I know that part of my life is closed, but it bangs on the door of my heart like a monster trying to get out sometimes.

Nothing to tell about CG really. We always talk when we see each other, just small talk. He's a very funny guy so he's easy to talk with. We went to Waffle House after the group and I sat with him and another of the girls from the group and her 3 year old (very entertaining!). I did make a point to tell CG that the beard and longer hair looked really good and made him look very rugged. He smiled his silly, crooked smile and jokingly said, "Yeah, it's growing on me." Ha! Get it? Growing on him.

Other than that, we didn't say much else. He's a great one to look at and talk to, like I've said before. He's just the kind of man I could see myself with someday. He makes for some nice dreams sometimes. I hope he finds happiness with a kind woman that deserves him and will love his kids. He's just that special.

Happy Mother's Day to all of my fellow mother's out there. I am just going to hope that Marc even remembers that it is Mother's Day. He's pretty clueless.

Thanks for the Mother's Day wishes!

Marc didn't remember. My mom had to remind him. Oh well......

Gabe sent me a HMD text at 8:15a. No idea what he was doing up that early on a Sunday. I managed to sleep in today and I played hookey from church (bad bad girl). Blew my diet all to heck this morning too. I made a massive breakfast - biscuits and gravy, sausage, scrambled eggs, bacon and coffee. CRAZY! It sure was good though.

Good for you for sleeping in, couldn't you have asked God to make a house call?

BUT what on earth are

biscuits and gravy,

along with eggs and bacon was that combined breakfast and dinner,as opposed to brunch.

[mishka422]

hee hee!!

It's a southern (US) dish mainly but it's served all over the country. Buttermilk biscuits are rich and buttery, not sweet biscuits like cookies. They are light and fluffy like rolls but a little more dense. The gravy is a creamy sausage gravy.

I had the best breakfast(s) in Boulder Colorado in 1989 and still remember it. But I used to get the Mex type of scrambled eggs with hot sauce...

We all need a break once in a while...
