Rouky when you get here I am going to make you my famous Awful Waffles! One of my kids when they were tiny would say "Daddy I want an awful". So I started calling them awful waffles. They have chocolate chips in them. S13 makes some fantastic drop biscuits and It's pretty hard to screw up eggs. I saute' mushrooms and make sausage gravy. So Rouky I will make you breakfast in bed and serve the kids at the breakfast nook. I really am pitiful and my doting will get very annoying.
So I went to yoga tonight and tomorrow night as I said earlier I am going to listen to some blues. I am excited about it too. MB what are your GAL plans for the weekend? Rouky what are you doing? What about the rest of you? NYGal, Ancaire, pig pen, focus22, Gmum what are you all doing this weekend?
God Bless you all and may we all safely enjoy our weekend and find peace in the process. I love you all!

I'm supposed to get hit with winter storm Jonas, so I fortunately had the foresight to stock up on wine. Then maybe my childhood friend will come over and watch movies and drink said wine with me. And I'll probably do some more packing for my upcoming move. Nothing too crazy here. I really want an awful, hold the sausage gravy though. Yum!
Shotgun.....looks like we're all coming to your place for some awful waffles! Sounds yummy. And, speaking from those of us who ALWAYS dote on and take care of everyone else (not to mention being left behind and lonely), I don't think ANY of us would ever get tired of someone doting of us! The thing is, we would have to reciprocate. That's how it's SUPPOSED to work! Anyway, better hurry to the store, you're going to have lots of hungry women at you house for breakfast!

I posted this on my thread and did not want to retype it, so I just copied it so I could share. Still not sure what my GAL activity will be for this weekend, but still thinking about the crawfish/karaoke thing. We'll see! I just can't imagine eating one of those things. They look like bugs. UGH!
Coppied from what I wrote earlier on my thread.....
Hi, Rain! My absence was because I worked a couple of nights and then, yes, I was GALing tonight. I met my mother and a friend and we went and checked out the BINGO place. It was okay, nothing special there. Might have felt differently if any of us had won, but we didn't. And, I had NO idea how dang expensive it is to play BINGO. UGH.
Anyway, after my mother left, I sat at the table for about an hour and talked to her friend (she's my age). She is recently divorced for the second time and is a support group on Facebook. She kept trying to get me to join Facebook so I could join their support group. Apparently, they do some charity work, meet for dinner/drinks, hang out and dance, and various other activities. We just sat there and talked. She told me about her bad marriage and stories she has heard from others in the group. Now, I am a very quiet, shy and passive person. I am a creature of habit and do not like to EVER get out of my comfort zone...that's why GALing has been so hard for me to pull off. Anyway, this woman is the complete opposite of me. She is known, happy, bubbly, love, adventurous, and a real people person. I really admire how she can just get out there and be happy with herself. I so want that! She has invited me out again tomorrow for crawfish and karaoke. Not into crawfish, and I can't sing, and they are meeting about 45 min from my house...but, I may just go anyway!
After talking to her for about an hour, I left and stopped by the store on my way home. As I was leaving, I thought I should drive by H house just to see if he's there. Funny thinng is, I really didn't care if he was or not. I mean, I REALLY didin't care! I went ahead and did it anyway, figured I was in the car already, might as well. Same thing, as I was driving by, I honestly didn't care that he was home. I really don't think I would have felt any differently had his truck NOT been there. What would I do about it anyway? Nothing! Then, I drove home. As I pulled into the parking lot a song came on that I like. I cranked it up and danced in my seat, then walked into my apartment with a smile on my face and greeted my teens who were in the livingroom watching tv. OH MY, what must the neighbors have thought??? I hope none of them went looking out the window and saw me. LOL. I then texted my mother's friend and told her she had been a real inspiration to me and that for the first time in 3 months, I came home HAPPY AND SMILING. Now, I know that I could sink right back in my black hole any minute...or never. But, for now I'm happy and couldn't care less what my H is up to.
I hope everyone is having a great night tonight. And, if I feel bad tomorrow, can someone please remind me that I was happy tonight, and that I will live even if H is too stupid to realize that I'm the best thing that has ever happened to him. Goodnight everyone!

Me too! I can't even explain why I was happy tonight, I just was. And, it's been SOOOOO long since I really smiled and didn't have to fake it. And, after all the times my heart stopped when I was almost at his house, just waiting to see if he was there. Then, tonight, I almost didn't even do it and I honestly didn't care one way or the other. That seems like foreign nonsense to me. I can't imagine not caring. But, I just knew one way or the other it didn't matter because there was nothing I could do either way. I do expect to be back to my depressed state of mind when I wake up, but for now I'm enjoying being not sad. I hope this feeling lasts, but if not, I'm glad I got a break tonight anyway.
How are you NYGal?

MB just enjoy a moment of happiness. They will come more and more often and they will last longer and longer. Just a moment of peace sometimes is sustaining and then you look forward to the next moment. Get your @$$ to that crawfish boil and sing your lungs out! This last couple of weeks have been rough for all of us here but we will survive it. We have each other and thank God for that. Praying that you find another moment of peace and smiles today!

Good morning MB, I hope your good mood from yesterday carries through today, and if not, well we're here either way! today is the day I don't go to the game, don't see W or OW, and don't have to explain to friends why W and I aren't sitting together or even TOGETHER anymore. My GAL is hanging out with a friend tonight and watching a movie, maybe a hike tomorrow with the dogs, coffee with some people from my divorce seminar Saturday, and the divorce seminar on Sunday. And yoga. And more exercise. I gotta get this body into better shape for whatever the future holds. And I still want that to include W, I can't deny that.

NYGal, I'm late for lunch so I don't have time to talk much, but wanted to say GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF THE HOUSE AND GO TO THE GAME!!!!!!!!! You love the games and they are important to you so you should GO! Don't let W take that away from you too. You get dressed up, take a friend and sit in a different section so you don't have to see W or OW. Wherever they sit, sit about 5 rows down so you won't hear them and can't possibly see them without turning around. Then laugh, lean over and talk to your friend, and ACT AS IF you are having the best time of your life. You can do this. If you don't turn around, you can just pretend like they aren't even there. Let me know how it goes AFTER you get home from the game tonight! If I, being as shy as I am, can get up and sing karaoke in a bar (I do not do bars!!!), then you can sit through a basketball game with a cute girl. .
