Sean, I'm very sorry for the both of you. I agree with the others, it's so hard being the one to end a relationship; it means a lot that you ended it honestly.

What they have said, Sean. I left my first husband after 12 years and it was the worst pain imaginable. I knew it was the right thing to do, but that didn't make it any less painful. Please take care of yourself and consider staying at Drew & Kristin's for a bit. Emotional support is a good thing.

This is wonderful advice.

Sean, all the best to you--and to S.

Good on you for having the courage to do the right thing, especially because it was so damned hard. You'll both be in my thoughts.

I'm still at work.

Been in a meeting ALL DAY, second day in a row. We have said we were going to call it quits a few times, and here we still are...

Oh, dear, Suzi. I'll pour a margarita through the interpipes for you.

Also, needing a bit of a pick-me-up myself, I resorted to the BRQG. This little spot of delicious crudity made me laugh so hard the cats ran to the other room:

Betsy: Nothing will ever replace "fuck me gently with a chainsaw!" in my heart.

billytea: Not even "Bugger me sideways with a fish-fork"?

Miracleman: Or "Fuck him up the ass with a combination harvester"?

Oh come now, people! I fly to a whole other state, and you only manage 15 posts?? What is up with THAT?

I am at the hotel, it is dinnertime, I am apparently quite close to a lovely river/park thing, but I am dreadfully exhausted (for no clear reason--we did not get up early today and I got sleep last night (unlike the ngiht before)). I am tempted to eat the two cookies they gave me (OK, I already ate one--its' oatmeal walnut chocolate chip! it was still warm!!) and call that dinner and go to sleep.

But it's 7pm and instead I will just be annoyed that by the time I get the energy to go find food and eat it, So You Think You Can Dance will have already started, and I don't have TiVO in the hotel. Where is the Future, where my TiVo is my computer???

I have managed to lose my glasses AGAIN! Keep your fingers crossed that I don't get stopped by any cops until I can replace them. I called every place I was at today and nobody had them. I already lost my glasses once and found them again, and my sunglasses are nowhere to be found. I shouldn't be allowed to have expensive things.

non-pull over ~ma and finding glasses ~ma to sj

In mememe: I got pulled over by the cops while coming home from Tallahassee this past weekend. I wasn't doing anything wrong, they just wanted to look at my car. They gave me a "verbal warning" to watch my speed and that my front windshield tint looked a little too thick. Then they asked me a bunch of questions about my car. Stupid small town cops.

I shouldn't be allowed to have expensive things.

You're absolutely right. In fact, I think you should send all of your expensive things to me.

And since I don't see that happening... much Find Your Glasses ~ma, sweets.

Sean, honey, I'm so very sorry. Hugs to you and S.

You're absolutely right. In fact, I think you should send all of your expensive things to me.

I can't because I have either broken or misplaced them all.

I almost bought this dress for the shower today, but it had weird pockets that stuck out on the sides.
