Life, the Universe and DBing

[LearningPatience]

Well, not a lot noteworthy today, but I did have a couple of conversations that might be worth mentioning.

I was talking with 1st W this morning on her way to work (she often calls to discuss kids then). Was talking about the car I'll get and the colors, co-worker thought one of the available colors screamed MLC.

M: yeah, my coworker thinks if I get that color it shows my MLC
1st W, quietly: I think you've already been through that
M: (nervous laugh) yeah, I guess I have. Just have to deal with someone else's now

1st W was talking about when I was the WAS and pretty much fit the descriptions everyone has mentioned about 10 years ago.

This afternoon, MIL called me and let me know that BIL and his family were visiting next week. She invited the boys and I over to come visit then. After that, she asked if there were any blow ups at the wedding W and I both attended. Told MIL it was really nice and also told her about the lunch between W, OM and I yesterday. MIL's comment was that she was sad that W never learned that R's are hard and that you don't give up at that point. She (MIL) knew that I tried and appreciated it. MIL was also happy that we were communicating, and I think she understands why I went dark. I told MIL that I didn't think W was done with me yet. Time will tell, eh?

I'm going to talk to SD tonight about doing something Fri evening after she gets her wisdom teeth out in the morning. Ice cream sounds appropriate. Also not going to contact W, no real reason to right now.

In an unrelated thought, I filled out paperwork to buy my new car this afternoon. Just waiting for it to come off a boat in Seattle, so who knows when I'll get it. Getting a good deal, but I was hoping to get it before SD leaves just so I could show her in person. Oh well, she may need to settle for pics.
