But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Oooo..Barb, those do sound yum. In I'm-not-of-the-fail news, I made a baked brie with apples and dried cherries last night for a party that CBD went to. It was gone 20 minutes into the party, and he's insisting that I make it for Thanksgiving it was just that good. So, I do some things right...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's mostly/kind of relationship stuff. I'm bad at letting myself depend on other people. CBD is helping me with some stuff that is filled with baggage for me (money, actually), and it freaks me out that he won't be able to handle it, and he'll leave...or that I'll lose independence that I've fought so hard for.

That sounds like perfectly normal grown-up anxieties and issues. I'm not seeing the fail there.

“Not dead yet!”

'Course you do, silly.

And was the brie in pastry or nekkid?

I just want to be all strong and independent and not need anyone or their money or whatever. I feel like a leech and gold-digger, and I KNOW that's not the case. I do; and so does he. But, it's hard to convince myself otherwise.

poptarts:

It was nekkid brie. I should have taken a picture. It was beautiful, if I do say so myself.

Actually, that sounds like a grown-up worry for me. It took awhile to for DH and I to figure that part out after we were living together. It is only wrong if the situation was reversed, you wouldn't help him.

(((vw))) That is definitely an adult problem. Try to remember and give yourself some credit for all you do for him, like all the yummy food you cook.

I am guessing I will be loseing my stove/oven on Tuesady or wednesday. But that should mean a new slate floor by Saturday

Just my personal opinion - if you might EVER remove a carpet, don't glue it down.
