I wish I could discount Meredith's MIL story, but I can't. My ILs are miserable people too. I grew up dating guys whose mothers adored me... and my parents are both loved by the other side of the family, so I've always felt ripped off. Oh well.
Tal, I think it's okay to wish that. Chances are that Wolfie's mother wasn't like our H's mothers... ??? I have to figure only the good die young.
Hallo, my name is Bruce. It has been 3 weeks since my last fish, on my honor, or may I be chopped up and made into soup...
Trish, you can definitely be Nemo (nickname Sharkbait). In fact, you're a shoo-in for that part. Fred, you're definitely Gill...
I haven't spoken to the guppy since he left yesterday. And frankly, I'm not at all disappointed about that. For whatever reason, I find myself not feeling anything about him lately.
Of course you all know I do want him to come home. But right now, I have little expectations of him, and what ones I do have concern the girls. Oddly, I have absolutely no desire to make time in my social schedule for him.
I think I might be doing 1 of two things: letting him go to REALLY let him go or 2) my detachment is complete. I'm not sure if is a combination of both either. What I do wonder is if this is good?
Not going to dwell on that thought today, though. I've got to finish laundry, get dressed and head out to buy a locking DVD cabinet--because D6 is getting too damn independent and thinks she can do things with them once out of the case and expect them to work.
Little pissant... maybe I'll eat HER for dinner tonight.
And I need to get the guestroom a little spiffed up for my cousin's arrival on Thursday. I'm getting excited to see him, since it's been 5 years. Plus my house is sort of disorganized and messy...
So off to do a few posts and on with my day. Have a good rest of the weekend.
