When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

Ali, don't you find that the lotions with self tanner in them have a nasty smell? I've never found one that I can stand the scent of. I wish they smelled like coconut oil or something.

Stepping forward in love and with dignity intact is hard but I'm finding it worth the risks. My fears pop up every day and I battle them back by reasoning with myself. If anyone ever heard what goes on in my head they would lock me up for sure!! LOL

Had a bit of drama at the end of last week and I'm just now processing it. Gabe decided he had enough of his boss's nonsense and overwork for underpay. He called him on it (i.e. - working 7 days a week, always between 6-12 hours a day depending on what was going on with no overtime or bonuses) and the boss didn't like it one bit. Accusations flew, Gabe called him on those and the boss fired him. Just as well, he was about to quit anyway and had already gone to interview for another job. The firing makes things a little tense though since he doesn't know if this other job will come through.

He was pretty upset on Friday and I was comforting but without trying to fix it like I normally would have. I told him it would be just fine, gave him a hug, and stepped back to let him deal with it. He perked up by the next day and had already talked to the manager at the other job prospect. He's afraid that his former boss just might try to pull some underhanded stuff on him so he's a little nervous, but all in all it's going ok. Just tense.

On a happy note.....less than 3 weeks until the cruise! So looking forward to some sun and downtime. A full week of being waited on and doing nothing I don't want to do sounds like heaven to me!!!
