I don't mind Star Wars movies although I prefer the newest Star Trek.

We ended up playing guitar hero world tour together last night and then we watched Napoleon Dynamite. I crack up at that movie and Marc had never seen it. I had been trying to get him to watch it for a long time and finally convinced him last night. Now all I'm hearing out of him is "Whatever I want to...GOSH!" and the big long sighs under his breath and "Idiot!". So funny!

I went to the store and officially resigned today. Although missing that bit of money will make a few things tougher, it's much better to not have the stress of trying to rearrange schedules and find people to come be with mom when I'm working. She is ok during the day because she sleeps almost the entire day.

I've been invited to a New Year's Eve party at a friend's house. I'd love to go but I'm concerned about mom. I'll talk to her about it later today. She lives nearby so it's easy to run back and forth if I need to.

Oh yeah, forgot, Gabe's youngest sister called me yesterday to play catch up. She is an actress in Hollywood and is constantly on the move so it's hard to get together on the phone. She was calling to thank me for her Christmas present and to chit chat about Marc, what I'm up to, my mom and of course, as she put it, her stupid, dumb-a$$ brother. I gave her the Snuggie story and she was just flabbergasted that he would do something so horribly thoughtless. LOL! Thoughtless should have been his middle name. *sight* I told her that during that lunchtime talk we had I had asked him if he had talked to her or their other sister and he told me that he had not. He had called her a few times but she never called back. He said she hadn't talked to him since the he left me. I found that hard to believe and very unlike her. She told me yesterday that, as usual, he is full of it. She had talked to him a couple of times after he left and even after the D was final. She called him on the carpet regarding several lies she knew he was telling her. He's never called her. She called him around Halloween this year and left him a message telling him that she was sorry that their R was broken and would like to make a fresh start with him. He never called her back.

So sad that he has destroyed his family and broken his R's with his own family. Wow.

I'm totally rambling today aren't I? Sorry. Just feeling a bit lonely but in other ways glad that I am not dealing with his crap anymore. Weird dicotomy.

Wow. That snuggie thing is just bizarre (I mean Gabe giving it to you, although I'm not sure I would buy one either lol). I vote return it use the $$ for something you want. Or regift it lol.

As for Gabe's life, it's cause and effect. He is dealing with the consequences of his actions. Sad indeed, but luckily not your problem.

Stuggling today. Not really sure why. Probably just the time of year and WAY too much contact with Gabe. It seems like he calls me every other day when he used to just text. I guess I opened that darned door and it probably wouldn't be right to shut it. I don't want to make it harder to communicate about Marc. That is what he calls me about, Marc, so that is good. He doesn't drift off to other subjects thank heavens. I'll just keep trying to put up a happy face and it will get better.

Yes, time of the year and conatact with the X can affect our moods...


<<glad that I am not dealing with his crap anymore. Weird dicotomy.>> I know how you feel.

VOR

FWIW

WAY too much contact with Gabe

bingo

It seems like he calls me every other day when he used to just text. I guess I opened that darned door and it probably wouldn't be right to shut it

when he calls let it go to VM or ignore it..then text him asking him what he wanted..

what would be right is up to you..you should be the one to control the amount of contact with him..do not let him control that..

Boundaries Mish..boundaries..

[mishka422]

You are definitely right oh wise VOR. Boundaries.

I do believe next time he calls I will just let it go to VM. I'll be much slower to respond to texts too. It's like a minor victory for me. Some semblance of power on my part. LOL!

[MichelleLT]

Yay!

You do have control over that! It's REAL power.

[Kalni]

Ignore him. Just use him for things around the house. Get him to vacum your house again

You guys are going to think I'm totaly insane here, not like you needed further confirmation, but the stupidest thing is driving me crazy.

Ok, don't judge me......I've been watching 'Days of Our Lives' for 27 years now. I know, crazy, I warned you. For the last few months one of the longest running supercouples (Bo and Hope) have been having trouble. Long story but there was a crisis and afterward Hope left Bo and moved in with his father to put some 'space' between them. She is the classic WAW!!! It's been making me nuts! I yell at the TV, tell her what a raving bi!ch she is, etc.. OMG! I can't stand to watch that part of the show. I forward through it a lot of the time. It's kind of coming to a head now and she keeps pushing him away and then changing her mind and then turning right around and pushing him away again. Yesterday she got her comeuppance and he kissed his former fiance and she saw it. Now she's all on her high horse after telling him over and over that she thinks she wants a D. ICK!

I told you all it's crazy, but I keep stopping myself from writing to the writers to tell them they should have Bo DB her! LOL!!!

[BobbiJo]

You aren't crazy. I play armchair quarterback for my soaps, too... (OLTL and GH, ABC soaps)

I do it in real life, too. I cringe at some of the crap my sisters do to their husbands when we get together...lots of tongue-biting on that front.

I am sure they will get Bo and Hope together again eventually. Trouble with soaps is, they figure if everyone is happy, no one will watch!
