LOL... you two are funny. So... hell hath frozen over, I have a date on Friday. A really cute country-music loving down-to-earth guy that thinks I’m hot...lmao. He actually thinks he will beat me at pool. The last guy that I dated (just before my H) said the same thing so we went to the local pool hall. I beat him 15 times in a row and then he gave up....lol. I probably won’t do that to this guy. Who am I kidding? Yes I will...lol. He lives about an hour’s drive away from me so we will probably meet in the middle somewhere. My only very shallow concern is that I don’t know how tall he is. When you are 5’10”, it makes a difference. Fingers crossed he is at least close to my height cause I have never been attracted to anyone that is more than an inch shorter than me. At the very least, I will make a new friend I think.

I texted my friend tonight to tell her about it and she was happy to hear that I am smiling again. It has been a road but I am really starting to remember just how badly my H treated me for four years and I know that I deserve better and that better is definitely out there. My friend that I texted is a manager in his school district and she told me that she saw him the other day. She thought he looked “very ashamed”. That made me sad to hear. I was always so quick to try to fix things for him in the past when he was upset or screwed up in some way. Not my job anymore. He has to find his way out of the hole he had dug on his own.

My SD19 arrived yesterday. Her mom brought her. My sister and SD’s sister also joined us so we had some fun checking out the OLD sites and talking about various things. Also polished off a couple of bottles of wine so we got a little silly. It was really great to laugh like that again.

Anyway.... late night for me and an early morning tomorrow so I’m heading to bed. Lots of love and (((HUGS))) to my fellow DBers!!
