Magnificent

[One Day]

Bendiness is definitely an undervalued attribute- I love the stretching plan!

Mishka- 5ft 5 is the perfect height. I'd love to have the extra half inch that would get me there. Come to the UK- 5ft 5 is tall here!

((((hugs)))) glad the juice is doing the trick,

I think I used to be 5ft 4" but definately only 5' 3 now-hmmm,
5'5 sounds great.

I see Katie Price aka Jordan, has a range of wedgie Wellies might need to invest in a pair, given the weather.

So can you eat normally or healthily now?

[mishka422]

Eating normally thank heavens!

Strangeness....Gabe sent me a text this morning asking me if I was busy. I replied "Very. What's up?" He said it wasn't that important and he'd talk to me later. That always makes my mind whir because it's never anything but trouble when he wants to talk to me. I called him when I left for lunch and all he wanted was to tell me about his convo with his mom this morning about our nephew. He has a lot of emotional problems and needs medication which he flushes down the toilet, refuses to take, gets violent, etc.. It's really a horrible situation.

IDK, just weird that he would want to talk to me about that. Gee, the broom doesn't understand his family? HA! I was with the man nearly 20 years and couldn't ever really wrap my head around his family. Good luck to her.

I'm 5'6", but my sister is only 5'4" and a lot of my girlfriends are 5'4" or 5'5". You're not short. Unless you hang out with a lot of very tall women and guys!

[mishka422]

I guess I feel short because of the company I keep. The majority of the women in my family are 5'7" and above. The men.......6' and up. I have several male cousins who are 6'5". How the heck did I end up M'd to a man who is 5'6"? I LOVE tall men. Hmmmmmm.....weird.

So...no nightmare last night. That was nice. I had one dream I remember slightly about CG. Although they are enjoyable while I'm having them I always wake up with a sense of humiliation and sadness. YUCK! Whatever.

This weekend is going to be a little tough. Family wedding. My cousin's daughter is getting married on Saturday and our entire family is coming in for the event. I love seeing them, don't get me wrong, but there are several of them coming that I haven't seen in a while and don't talk to often that I'm sure know nothing about the D. I don't want to have to rehash it with any of them, but they are a seriously nosy, curious group. On a good note, I ended up getting the wedding present FREE! Yes folks, I'm admitting it.....FREE. My friend J was having a garage sale a couple of weeks ago that helped her set up for and while putting out a bunch of beautiful Polish pottery I saw a georgeous platter, serving bowl and pitcher set that I thought would be perfect for a wedding present. I told her if she didn't sell it I would love to buy it from her. They are Tiffany and Co., made in Italy and J bought them while her H was stationed in Greece at the factory store. She never used them, just displayed them. They are an elegant ivory with a cobalt blue basketweave pattern rim. Just beautiful. J didn't sell them at the sale and refused to take any money for them. She was just happy to help me out. I'm so thrilled! YEAH!

I was only online to try to figure out how to rob Peter to pay Paul (i.e. - paying bills with money I don't have....that's always amusing).

I have about a million things I need to do today, but what am I doing instead? Sitting here reading the boards. It's like a compulsion or something. I hate to be away because I don't like to get too far behind, but then again, I kick myself for spending time I don't really have here. I choose to think of it as therapy on the cheap.

Eating normally thank heavens!

I find Gabe very interesting...

you would think that if the broom is all that, then he would be able to talk to her about such things.

You would think that the broom would get pissed if she found out Gabe was calling up chit chatting to you about such things..

yep..I find Gabe interesting... interesting indeed..

[LolaL]

If it makes you feel any better, my dear Mishka, I am 5'4". So you are taller than me

I have to say I find Gabe interesting too. Maybe he is seeing the broom for what she is? Or she is showing her true colors. I agree that she would be none too happy if she knew Gabe was calling you for support. It may be that he feels you understand his family a little more than you think you do...

How do you feel about the conversation?


(((Mishka)))....thanks for posting to me. It is good to finally realize I am not out here alone...will be in GA next month...

[mishka422]

Interesting? Well, that's one way to put it. I just really think he has a comfort zone with me from long shared history. That is fine with me. I am very concerned for my nephew and Gabe knows that. He called me again last night to tell me that the poor kid has been admitted to the pediatric psych ward at UCLA med center. My former MIL is beside herself with worry and the family is in an uproar.

Oh, I understand his family, just can't be too involved in it. Why? Well let's see:

Alcoholic, neurotic mother
nacissistic cheating father
convict uncles (very plural - San Quentin for 2 of them)
Gang banger cousins
book smart-street stupid PHD sister (the mother of my nephew)
crazy actress sister (yes, she's seen in TV and movies)

They are the complete and total opposite of my family. It was always one of the reasons I put for Gabe seeking me out. He was looking for normalcy and found it in my huge, loving, supportive family. I think he misses it.

The broom can feel whatever she wants. I frankly could care less if she's not too happy about him contacting me. The only thing I'm certain about is that there can be no 'reconnect' of my emotions toward him. There is no backward. He made this mess and I have to live with the consequences of it.....so does he. My life is fine. Not good, but fine....for now. I'm working hard at making it better but it will be an eternal work in progress.

Lola.....you have to let me know when exactly you will be in GA. I so hope we can meet up. You coming in on I20 or flying in? I'm just 25 miles south of the Atlanta airport if that gives you a good frame of reference.

[naej]

Hi Mish, now I know you are crazy

Oh, I understand his family, just can't be too involved in it. Why? Well let's see:

Alcoholic, neurotic mother
nacissistic cheating father
convict uncles (very plural - San Quentin for 2 of them)
Gang banger cousins
book smart-street stupid PHD sister (the mother of my nephew)
crazy actress sister (yes, she's seen in TV and movies)

AND you went and married him? you must like the bad boys.

[Kalni]

Did I get that right? Tiffany Co a factory here? WTH is that?
It sound's like a wonderful gift...

Gabe and family : hmmmm speechless I guess. Why didnt we see the signs earlier, can someone answer me that?

Can you elaborate on your dreams? Sound interesting and I could use some excitement right now , LOL!!!!
