I know I have said this before... But you guys are awesome!!!!

It's been crazy busy at work and home. I've been reading everyone's stuff here and there, but am having a hard time finding time to post.

I have been smiling all day at everyone's comments smile

WH ~ "Don't you ever get to thinking ... You're irreplaceable "

Thinking being the key word there. Lets face it, thinking isn't exactly our MLCers thang. Instead, it seems like they let the OW do all the thinking for them - and they are just as crazy!

Whatever the stinkiest cheese is, that should go with chopped liver! Although I enjoyed T^2's suggestion!

Speaking of... I've been following you still T. Sorry you and the fam have been under the weather. Stress does lower the immune system! It seems like no matter how much patience you give, more is always needed. Yet, you are able to find it under the most challenging of circumstances.

And I wouldn't start flirting with your wife just yet. I say let her come to you. You are still the prize! One day, yes one day T she will look at you and think, "I am so ready to jump my hot husband!"

But for now, it's as Snodderly put it - patience grasshopper smile

Nero, you asked a very good question...can they move past it or outgrow it before they chase us away?

That, my dear, is the million dollar question. I unfortunately don't know the answer either.

And you should feel special, because you are. The twinkle twats are the pos, not us. It's all about perspective. And we can't expect our H's to have a normal or good one with their heads firmly planted up their MLC a$$es. Just sayin.

FY - feel free to join the jukebox anytime!

It's strange, but I have come to a point where I can see a future with or without my H.

At bomb, I thought, how can I ever deal with losing him? But now, I feel like he's already lost. He's the one who has to worry about losing ME.

Oh yes, times they are a changin'.

And I can see how things can come full circle eventually, with the LBS feeling towards the MLCer the way the MLCer felt towards them during bomb. With everyone's feelings constantly changing, how do two people once so in love ever get back on the same page???

rH, you know I've been checking up on you smile will post something to you tomorrow when I'm not so stinking tired. If there is anyone that can build something new, it is you. You have been the glue to hold your family together, and in the process you have unleashed this incredible woman, capable of leaping over her MLC H in a single bound! So very happy for you smile

Hey UW, you need to know that you totally made my day by using the term "true dat". And I didn't think you could get any more awesome!!! If I ever visit NY, I will look you up and we will hang smile


As for me, good evening. Ran some errands, bought summer clothes for S4. H was in an exceptionally good mood this evening. Strange...

I also wanted to add that he is back to off and on modesty when getting out of the shower. Some days he comes out with his towel on. Some days he takes his underwear into the bathroom. And some days like today, he lets it all hang out. I just pull a Lady Gaga and put on my "poker face" no matter what the after shower sights are!

My juke box addition for this evening -

"Wide Awake" by Katy Perry

I've been listening to it for awhile now. Really feel the words.

"Wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurt, but made it so sweet
Till I woke up on, on the concrete"

Isn't that what the bomb felt like? Waking up face first on the freaking concrete???

"Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
Need nothing to complete myself - no
I am born again, out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
The story's over now, the end"

I love that... Picking up all the pieces of ourself and our life, and putting it back together. Realizing that we don't NEED our spouses, but love them and want them. (Maybe!) And our story of our old M might be over, but our new story has only just begun.

Turning my brain off now (or going to try!)
Good night smile


Bomb January 2012 - doesn't feel the same about me
