I intend to live forever - so far, so good

LOL, Romeo. Have you ever heard Lily Allen's "F-ck you very much" song? You really must.

I was just reading on the internet how Gwenyth Paltrow is going to be seeing the Cee-Lo song on Glee in an upcoming episode.

Sol, I've heard that song in the passing before but she sings it so sweetly it's almost funny

What's Glee again? I don't watch TV lol

THAT'S why it's so funny! Cause the words deceive the sweet music/voice!

Glee is a musical show about some high school kids in Glee Club. It's pretty funny.

Funny, unproductive thought. Got a response from STBXW on an email I sent Tuesday. She responded at 1 p.m. Thursday.

That means she's home. Before the split she was 60 hours a week and complaining she had to do more and more. She couldn't leave work for lunch. She couldn't leave work for the girls' doctor's appointments. I did all of that.

The girls told me she's been driving home for lunch to let the dog out lately.

It's remarkable how much less time she's putting in at work now.

Again, unproductive thought. Back to my own sitch of having to write three stories, a couple of blog posts and finish some election data. I have to finish everything today to head to Chicago to work a running race for my second job.

Positive note. I plan on staying in Chicago Saturday night with friends and then I have NOTHING on Sunday. I can go to church, watch football, clean the house (it's small, won't take long), rake the yard and workout.

unproductive thought.

Absolutely!

Finally home after working second job in Chicago Friday and Saturday. We got done early enough yesterday so that I could meet a friend in Chicago. Her hair stylist has lost 40 pounds over the past year and was competing in the Midwest Bodybuilding championships.

95 percent of it was freakishly large men and women and five percent were these beautiful model types.

It was a good time. After, my friend was tired and we just went back to her place to watch Avatar. She used to be on a dance team for three years with STBXW so instead of watching Avatar we just talked and talked.

She's big into astrology. She got out a book and went through my perfect matches and guess what, STBXW is my worst match. She went through Aries and my needs and what a Virgo is usually like and yes according to this book we had no business being together.

My friend is great to talk to. Some things are hard. She's beautiful and has lots of opportunities to get married, but her parents never appeared happy and she doubts she'll get married so she has never felt some of the things I'm feeling.

She said I should be excited because I have a chance to get things right this time.

Drove home this morning and am watching football on the couch. Yesterday we worked from 3 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and I stayed up talking until 2 a.m. That's a long day.

Came home to find a letter from my L to STBXW's L asking them to come up with a proposal on the house and other issues to get things moving.

Also logged on to match. The 35-year-old I was going to go to dinner with two weeks ago said she's started dating someone closer to home so we won't be going on the date.

I'm a little down, but with Christmas coming and the house and the move things are a little tight. So really it's not a bad thing. We've debated whether or not I'm emotionally ready to date. Truthfully, I'm not financially ready really.

With that said, I need to get off this couch after the first game and head to a Goodwill and Salvation Army to see if I can find a dresser for D8 for less than $75. I found one D8 likes at that price, but I want to see a couple more.

I googled Aries and compatibility and Aries and Virgo (STBXW) is easily my worst match. I know you can read anything you want into how these things are written, but this site was detailing all of the potential problems of an Aries and a Virgo and they were problems we had with each other.

Interesting.

I don't really follow astrology much but once I put in my info and ex's info and same thing, we were not compatible....shocker!

^ LOL. I love reading about astrology. It's fun/funny. Sure, some it sounds crocky but I do enjoy reading about my sign. Interestingly enough, my and stbx's sign (both the same sign) are either supposed to get on really well or not at all. Funny that. (Mostly it says we're supposed to get on, though).

CTH, so on the site--did you find a lot of the things that you weren't supposed get along about accurate? LOL.

[ImprovedRomeo]

STBXW (Aries) and me (Capricorn) are totally two very different personalities but I always thought we worked well together. Obviously, I was living in my own little world to not see this train wreck coming lol.
