WE had my brother and his fam (Wife and two kids also 5 & 7) right after Xmas thru New Years day. I was sad to see them go but happy to have my house back! Couple that with our oldest really moving in with her boyfriend (don’t know what to think about that just yet) and I spent some of last week organizing and cleaning. It was so nice to have the house back to “normal”!
And @Portia, that sucks they ended up sick! My niece had a belly ache everyday at my house. I think she was just really tired from traveling and holidays and too much stuff going on! I hope they feel better soon 🙂
Oh – @thehizzy i have to say I love your dress too!
Loved catching up on everyone’s updates! I just returned to work today (which is when I generally read DW 🙂 Being on the computer all day at work – I don’t use it much at home. Having so much time off – I didn’t really want to return to work! But I’m excited for the new year. So Happy belated New Year everyone!
@MG – We are looking forward to trying all the things in Hawaii!
I feel lucky in that I haven’t had any run-ins with any exes. I don’t know how I haven’t. I once thought I saw one (the worst of the bunch) at a Wal-Mart and I turned and high-tailed it the other way so I don’t know if it was him or not. That was years ago. I don’t think I’d have the same reaction today but honestly don’t know (he was very manipulative and emotionally abusive).
It feels like a Friday today…I’m so ready for the weekend!
Thanks again @TheHizzy! I’ll add those to my list of places we’ve been looking. I feel like we have to get serious and book places soon.
That Great @Copa! I hope you enjoy your date.
My husband and I went on a date on Tuesday and saw the live performance musical “A Gentlemen’s Guide to Love and Murder” Tuesday. It was great! Except he’s not really into plays/musicals though he said he enjoyed it. It was just nice to get out on a date since we haven’t had a chance to go on one in a while.
Yes, recommendations would be great! We have our flights booked but not places to stay. We have also been looking at Air B&B. We are going for 10 days so will have to spend a bit more than 300 but that was a great price! And glad to know everything closes so early…kinda strange to me!
So, RadioStar, were the spam and egg sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls with jam good? I don’t recall ever trying spam though that’s not to say I haven’t. I suppose we will just have to give it a try!
It’s almost Friday guys! I have just a few X-mas things to shop for and then I’m done. And I can stay home (besides grocery shopping) and bake and relax (minus some cleaning). After next Thursday, we get two weeks off for winter break here at work so my brother and his family are coming to visit…I’m just getting excited for the end of the year, family visiting, x-mas, etc.
@The Hizzy – how was Hawaii (other than you got engaged!)? I think we are going to the same places as you went so I wanted to ask if you had any specific recommendations? It will be my husband, me and our 18 yo who will have just graduated HS! This is a combo graduation gift for her and anniversary trip for us (weird I know but we can’t afford two big trips). I already have a lot of things on our list of must-dos, plus just some relaxing on the beach.
Just finished catching up since i was out of town last week visiting family for Thanksgiving. Wow, so much news! Congrats to thehizzy and missdre! Hope you have a good time on your first last date of 2017 copa! And congrats to the ladyE on your upcoming show!
My oldest (22) daughter and her boyfriend decided they want to live together (they’ve been dating 6 months). She lives with us and we told her she has to stay on top of her own bills for 6 months before she can do that. She’s just now getting back on her feet and we’ve been paying her car payment and insurance. Plus, he still lives at home and they plan to live there for a year before moving out on their own. I think that’s kind of a dumb idea. I think they should save now and plan to move in a year into their own place. No need to be in a hurry….except I’m kinda ready for her to move out. But then I don’t want her to make yet another mistake and have to move back in again. Technically she is an adult so we don’t have much say, except we have been supporting her (financially) which is why we put the 6 mo stipulation.
@Copa – I think, unfortunately, a lot of women date men with blinders on. The great thing about it is then you know better and what to look for (I hope for the majority anyway) for future dates.
I dated a total scumbag when I was 17-20ish. Unfortunately, I had a kid before I woke up and smelled the roses, so to speak. I did manage to move on and find a great guy (he adopted my daughter when she was 3!). No one (after many discussions with many different people) could show me or tell me all the red flags they were seeing. Ya know, I knew I could fix all the things. I had to finally wake up and see it for myself. Took me way to long!
@copa, I’m with Ktfran…don’t settle! I don’t have any examples though. Being from the south, most of the people I know were married young (and not always to the right people…but ya know, that’s what you do in the south, marry young). Except for my best friend. I think she did settle. I like her husband and he’s a good guy, but I don’t think they are a match. I’d never tell her that in a million years (though she said something similar to me once) She didn’t even want kids so timing wasn’t a factor. She just didn’t want to be alone. They are still together (8 or so years now) so I’m hoping those feelings she had are gone and they are happy.
Ok-maybe that’s not a great example either cause it worked for her. Maybe go kick more butt at Orange Theory as that sounds awesome! I might have to look into that 🙂
