Juls! Hey, girl! Great to see you back on the BB! Aw shucks!! Thank you.(And no, I'm not sending out glamour shots to hot babes on the web. We exchanged pics of our families. ) Hey, I'll be back in the house in August, then Party On, Wayne! On a serious side, I truly appreciate your prayers and have been remembering you and the other folks on this BB in my own.

M, Juls and LA, believe me, I was shocked too about the possible BF and baby, and it took some major resolve to ask her, but my take has always been to point out the pink elephant that's hiding under the rug rather than be untrue to myself and pretend its not there. So I asked.

No major interactions with W yesterday. We passed each other in the hallway, and I was sporting a great new sporty shirt that is much more form-fitting than what I've worn in the past. She noticed. Unfortunately, she also noticed the bags under my eyes - had a late night at work, and bad dreams kept me up at night. Saw that she was looking unusually thoughtfully at my face as we passed one time. I just smiled, said 'hi' and went on. It may be that she takes my tiredness as a good thing rather than thinking 'yuck!', as she has this intense Midwestern work ethic thing going. Sounds like she's trying to break herself of that a bit, which is nice.

Six days 'til D day. Need to really jack up that PMA in preparation. As a nice continuance of friendship with her despite the D, I ordered a nice waterfall/soundsoother thingy that she might use in her office or bedroom. I figured her condo will be a lot noisier than our house is (closer neighbors/joined walls) and this might help her sleep. Am also hoping to get her a spa gift certificate from S5 and I. The woman continues to look like she's aging quickly. A mutual friend noted that she looks years older now. Why can't WASs see the truth about their decision?
