Spent the night with bro and family Friday night...watched a movie and the kids played with their cousin. Next day, went to watch the parade and met BFF and her BF there. Saw lots of familiar faces...ate lunch and supported a friend of ours cause for the Arthritis Foundation. She is hispanic and made burritos, chicken mole and rice...yummmy!!!
Ran into another good friend and her sis there and chatter with her for awhile!!! This friend I haven't seen since the bomb and she was full of advice (keep in mind she has never been married and is currently living with a guy from Canada whom she met on the internet) that I need to find someone to date to make H jealous...she is just SURE that he would come running back if I did that....
Went back to bro's to finish watching the NE fb game and played with great niece and nephew!!! Then, back to BFF's and visited with her parents, Her Dad is 87 now and her Mom is in the early stages of alzhimers so was good to see them! Then, back to BFF's house where she had a roast in the crockpot for french dip sandwiches...yummy! Ate and went down to the festivities! Kids rode carnival rides while we talked with old classmates, former co-workers etc. Got kids settled at home and went to the local bar for a couple of beers. Saw an old crush...I have to say he has not aged well...eww! In the meantime, the carnival had shut down and most of the midway was already gone when we walked out of the bar...that was weird! All day and night I got lots of compliments from people saying how good I looked and how young I looked! Yeay!!! The last time some of these people saw me I was 40bls heavier!
The next morning, BFF made breakfast burritos (she loves to cook and is suffering empty nest...I think I gained 5bls while I was there!) Our other friend (the one with the advice) came over and we ate and talked and laughed until tears rolled about old times etc...had to be careful since my kids were around! Both my friends complained of their significant others and I came to the realization that if H and I were still together...I would have joined in on that convo!
THIS ^ made me realize that I while I do miss H very much in many ways, there are so many things that I do NOT miss about him. My friend was saying that H and I made her sick when we were first dating/married and how we were always "all over" each other and I seriously do not remember that! Sad. How long has it been since we were that way that I can't even remember it?
Anyway, this was really the only talk of H there whole weekend and it was initiated by someone other than myself. Thoughts of him did not pop into my mind at all! So, even though as you read this, you will maybe think "boring" I view the weekend as a HUGE success in that it kept H out of my mind and I enjoyed good company and lots of laughs! The kids had fun too!
So, depending on what we judge our weekends on, I may not have won the battle this time in the category of "fun" although I did have a great time...but, if we base it on totally forgetting about our sitches for a couple of days, I might have won that battle!
Today is my last day of vacation so need to get busy! Hope to get caught up with the rest of you too! Everyone have a great day!!!

Is there something you are dreading? Is there a decision you have been putting off - or an encounter you have been anxious to avoid? The bad news is that you are fast approaching a moment of truth. The good news? The truth will not just set you free; it will lighten your spirit and brighten your outlook. It's strange how, sometimes, we put up a mental block against the very developments that are most likely to benefit us. As your barriers melt away over the course of this week, so will many of your problems.
I had sent an email to my L asking if there was a time limit or a deadline to follow thru with the D after the papers have been filed. She said that the court, usually after 6mos but could be longer depending on the court, may order an "order to show cause" and either party would have to sign an affidavit within a certain amount of time and if one is not sent in then it would be dismissed.
That could be good or could be bad!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I was booked all day and then this evening I went out to dinner with a GF from Montreal. She knows my sitch and had some very insightful comments that I will share on my thread when I get some time.
.........(drum roll............) Here's what I did during my weekend. Started out slow. Slept in Saturday morning (YEAH!!!!!), made myself frozen waffles with fat free whipped cream........(how am I doing so far???? ). Then I sat down and finished my online CPR training (~ 3hrs). This made me feel better since my deadline for this is fast approaching, but it wasn't really much fun. (How am I doing now? ) Trimmed my hedges (that made me happy! ).... Then went for a nice bike ride and caught the tail end of a community 9/11 tribute at a local bandshell. When I got home I did some taping to prep for painting I need to finish in my kitchen..............
On Sunday morning, I slept in again (YEAH!!!!!!!!!!).........then things got better........I went to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, which is kinda like Disney World would be if Disney World had been built during the Middle Ages. (If you're ever in this part of the world in August, September, or October, it's worth checking out). I hadn't been there in many years, so enjoyed it!.........and I bought myself 2 lovely necklaces and matching earrings: 1 for my birthday and 1 as a bombaversary present. In fact, I have decided to make a new tradition which is that every year on the bombaversary I am going to buy myself something nice.
When I got home, I took another nice bike ride............fell and scraped my knee really well when a small child riding opposite to me on the trail decided to turn around and talk to his younger brother just as we were about to pass one another. When he turned his head around, his bike made a 90 degree turn right in front of me. I couldn't get my shoe unclipped from my pedal in time and fell hard. Ouchhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
That said..................CW, I cede the fun-a-thon championship to YOU!!!!!! Your weekend sounds like it was A LOT of FUN!!!!! I may have had a few moments of "brilliance" but I think they were more than negated by the negative points I racked up by doing CPR training and hedge trimming.
YOU ARE A FUN GIRL!!!!!!! I just want you to remember that should you for any reason not be able to carry out the responsibilities of your crown, I will be more than happy to wear your tiara.
CW, your weekend sounded super fun to me! Hanging out with your BFF and chatting with folks you haven't seen in awhile, eating yummy food, going to a parade and your kids go on carnival ride,drinking beer at the bar with some old pals...wow, that is a full and happenin' weekend!
Gee, you looked into what would happen if no action was taken on the divorce and it sounds like good news...which is what your horoscope kind of said! This is reassuring because I have to admit that lately, I am seeing Cainer's horoscopes as always trying to give promises of positive things. I mean I think it is good to have a positive outlook! but I think "wow, another exciting opportunity? another great outcome?" etc. You know? so it is great to see it came true for you!
(wonder what happens in my county if no action on divorce is taken after the initial filing...)

Tulsa...thankyou! It really does help the attitude when you get away for a short time!
GAG...as I posted on your thread...your weekend sounds wonderful too! Hedge trimming and all! (except the bicycle crash...ugh!) I think we need an outside judge to decide or share the crown!!!
NM....I interpreted my horoscope differently but that could be my pessimistic side peeking out!
My L emailed me back asking "Any news of the current state of his situation?" She will continue to do nothing until I tell her different!
Mila...thanks for stopping by! So much going on in your own sitch! Hope you have a nice week too!
