YR - you sound like you are getting to that wonderful point of calm and balance, when we rest and wait. We don't always manage to stay there, but know that place exists!!
Since there is currently a party thread do we remind the others that Holly POLE DANCES for selected friends Or do we draw a discreet veil over that part of her life?
Can'r resist pointing out the classic MLC passive aggressive nature of your h's remark. 'If things stay civil' like it is YOUR responsbility to make sure they do!! They are such stupid jerks at this time aren't they? If they weren't capable of doing such wholesale damage, it would be funny it is so childish.
Hugs and have a good week. Enjoy the ceremony and the manicure. Maybe we need to have a serious debate about manicures and the pro and cons of different types . . . . . I don't want false nails, but I am thinking about the acrylic coating you can have for vacations etc. Serious matters girls. Like shoes for instance.
