Sgfan, thanks for the words of encouragement ad the advice. I think you are absolutely right that I need to stay the course and keep going (I guess I am just not sure how long I should keep going?? -- Maybe I am putting too much pressure on myself with putting a timeline to it) But you are right, either way, what ever happens, I will be better than if I did nothing.

Ready -- it is nice to read some positive words of encouragement, thanks for that! It really helps! I will try and read the books you recommended --- I am trying to do what I can when I can, unfortunately I travel a lot for work so sometimes its hard to carve out the time.

W stopped by last eve to drop off the dog, she did not call, just popped by (which is OK, I just need to be very careful not to leave anything out like books I am reading or my journal --- it actually kinda pisses me off a little that she comes by when ever but her place is off limits for me unless I make and appointment. Oh well, it is nice to see her and she did seem pleasant last night, we hugged and kissed a couple of times, I thanked her for dropping off the dog. She did mention that I should have told her about a little bump on the dogs back that was now gone, I told her that I tried to tell her but we were just playing phone tag for the last few days. She got a little upset (just a little upset) and told me that next time I should leave a message or send an email, I did not defend, I just agreed with her that I should have done that and it seemed to defuse the situation. She also mentioned that I did not call her on Monday to see if she was going to some mutual friends for a BBQ. I told her that we did talk on Monday (she called me to come over to get some painting stuff) and that she did not think that she was going to be able to make it because she was busy painting. ?? WTF -- not sure what to make of that comment, did she want me to call her and beg her to come, maybe she thought she was missing out on something? She is kinda of sending me mixed messages here?? Anyways, she did miss a good time, we all had fun w/o her, including one of her best friends and her 2 boys (she must have head about it from her) - strange.

She did want to confirm that we were going to go on our date on Sat, I said OK, sounds good so she wants me to set it up? Any ideas ??? Thanks for everyone support -- you guys are awesome and I am so glad I found this board (just wish I would have found it sooner! )

Thinking of getting a DB coach?? Not sure, kinda expensive but I can swing it -- you think its worth the $$
