Oh yes, go for the Thunder from Down Under. I haven't seen that one, but have been to the Chippendale's show. Tons of fun and everyone who's seen both says the Aussie one is better.

When I was doing all the spring clean up and maintenance and shelling out cash to get it done, I thought it really is true that two can live as cheaply as one. H could have done most of that and saved a ton of money. I get where you're coming from.

I was thinking about you this past weekend and your h redecorating the vacation home. My h went shopping for pictures to take back to hang on his walls. He also noticed some throw pillows I had bought and said they would look really good in his place. He went online and ordered some for himself. Throw pillows? Really?

Bright, you and I are so much alike. I tend to be an introvert, too. I enjoy getting out and having some fun, but I have to have recharge time.

Does your h have to live where he is now for business or is he there by choice? My H doesn't have to live where he is ... he could just travel there 4 or 5 times a year for a couple of weeks at a time (which would be worrisome, given his track record). Is yours a similar case?

I get what you say about doing what you feel is right. We had this discussion a while ago about depositing h's checks for him. He thanked me for doing that. I thought about what you said ... Can I live with it and is it the right thing to do? I just told him I had no wish to harm him. But I think it's a fine line between doing the right thing and doing too much to make the "fantasy" life happen. I suppose each sitch is different and we have to do what we feel is to our benefit in the long run.

Have fun at happy hour/dinner, but drive home safely!
