Thanks Jiji. Found the thread a little bit after posting. Yes, I like my manicure. My nails are nice and shiny and purty. Helps with the PMA ya know.

May as well update:

Yesterday's developments while not what I really want to hear about may not have been all that bad. I still don't like how she said she thought I would be staring at her and such. It kind of hurts that she wouldn't like me having any sign of desire for her and not being able to understand it. But, I re-read Honeypots earlier posts and I think it makes a little more sense to me. She still is on course for the D. I reckon I'll have a little something for me soon from the courts. I don't know why, but I'm not all that bummed by it for some reason. Is it because I've built of my shields, is my sense for seeing light at the end of the tunnel despite crappy stuff going on(a couple examples of this was the time when my dad had his stroke, everyone was worried he was going to die and such, I wasn't feeling good about seeing him that way but in the back of my head, I knew it would be allright or the great tornado. A twister dropped near our house and we heard it coming, again folks were scared but I knew in the back of my head we would be all right). I hope I'm not just being a fool, but I feel something good may happen at the end.

Yesterday, my brother and cuz went to the movies which was fun(The Matrix wasn't that good). Afterwards, we all needed some things from the W's place of business. She knew I was there because she had to get one of my vices from a locked cage. She sent a silly message from her. I was going to stay and speak but I didn't want to crowd out her and get in her way. I saw her dart across the floor to do something so I kept heading out. I did see her "friend" but kept going. I was with my cuz and brother. They had things to do later and didn't want to hang around. So I didn't stop to rap to her. Later, she calls me on my cell phone to tell me she saw someone we knew and asked why I didn't stick around. She then abruptly said she was getting busy and said she would see me later.

When she got home, she was telling me how bad her day sucked. She then asked why didn't I stick around and she was looking for me. I told her we were on the move and I didn't want to get in her way as they were busy. The last couple times I've gone up there, she seemed strange because I didn't stay all that long. That's her comfort zone and I didn't want to stay in it. I don't get that one. Just 8 short months ago, she would show me off to her buds. My how times have changed. Sometimes I wonder if she feels easier talking on her "turf", wants the big manicured finger brute to be seen to scare someone off. Who knows. I finally decided to clean the garage out so she can park in it. She hasn't parked in the garage for months because of her crap sitting out there. I think in a way her not parking out there was symbolic of her desire to leave. She was happy with that.

Around 11, she decdied she wanted a fat cheeseburger and asked me to get it. I caved and did it because I wanted one myself and she was buying. She started a little R talk and then stopped just like that.

This morning, we had more R talk, she starts this of course. I violate the DB rule to stay happy at all times. She said she tries to remember all the good stuff but doesn't because it will lead her to the bad stuff. Again, I don't get that. She then said she's tired of defending me to people for which I said I was tired of doing the same thing. People think I make too many excuses for her. Who knows.

We'll see where this rollercoaster goes today. She's getting ready to split for work and asked did I mind if she could go out of town next week with a friend. She identified this friend as female. I guess I don't mind but I'm sure as next week comes, I'll wonder if it's a hook up with cart boy. My bro and cuz wanted to talk to this guy when we saw him. The W wanted to know did we come in looking like 3 the hard way. We're all big guys. I noticed since last Sunday's debacle, she hasn't worn any rings this week. She love her rings including the wedding ring although she doesn't wear it on the right finger. Any ideas there?

BR's horoscope for today.

Is someone talking about you behind your back? You may be surprised to learn that someone you thought you could trust is spreading rumors about you. Then again, you might have been expecting it. so that they can take your place. The truth will set you free eventually, but you'll have to put up with a lot of people whispering your name in the mean time.

Chinese Horoscope. Not that I believe in this stuff.

You'll be in good form on the whole and you'll feel capable of conquering the world. The stars will take care of your love affairs, your happiness, your sentimental blooming as well as your projects of lasting union. But it is absurd to want to tell your loved one everything; keep some secrets to yourself. It will be necessary for you to work doubly fast if you want to be in time.
