Virgo

Can you have an 'after graduation' party for her after your SS gets straightened out? I would still do it all for her as you can afford it. Just make out some cute IOU cards for her. Personally I think class rings are a waste of money. I don't know anyone that still wears their class ring. My oldest is going to be 16 this month and I told her I would rather buy her a birthstone ring. I'm sure she knows that you're doing the best you can! Just remember that all of this is probably bothering you more than it's bothering her.

I'm not doing very well with my goal list for this week. I've just been doing the usual domestic/mom duties.

I like your boyfriend's interpretation of your dream.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like he was a very kind, compassionate man.

To much! lol

Monday- back, biceps, abs, cardio

Definitely!

Carey- I agree that being in a fwb situation makes it less likely that you will start looking for someone interested in a relationship. BUT, maybe you're not ready for a relationship yet. My fwb situation is on a break for now. It was good for the short time it lasted, but it changed for me. I'm not saying I wouldn't consider another fwb situation, but more than likely not with him. I'm leaning more toward dating, but just a little scared to take that first step.

Yes! I think when there's not an apparent trigger it's from their absence and our loniliness.

For those of you that don't know, my mom passed away 3 months before my husband. I frequently get this urge to call my mom. I just want to share daily happenings with her. We were really close and talked daily. It's irrational I know, but for a split second I actually start to reach for my phone. Just really missing my mom today. It's still hard to believe that I lost them both within months of each other. They were my best friends. Sometimes I feel guilty when I'm mourning more for one then the other. How messed up is that?

It is strange how our worst days seem to be around special dates without even realizing it. I try not to count the months either, but always seem to have my worst days around the 4th of the month.

I feel this way too. Having more good days now then bad gives me hope though. ((hugs)) Jen

Good to hear that you're on the mend. I'm sorry that the legal proceedings aren't going well for you.

We had a guest speaker at our church this Sunday that spoke about this very topic. I found it very interesting. I've asked God "why?" so many times. He said we need to remember that God does not make bad things happen. He doesn't want bad things to happen to us, or for us to experience pain. We're fallen people in a fallen world. He said that God is standing beside us as we work through the pain. No one escapes pain throughout their lifetime.

((hugs))

Better? I'm not sure about that, but it has seemed to change over time. I'm sure it will continue to too.

This thought has crossed my mind too. Life doesn't always go as planned, as we all know.

My goals for this week: Take clothes to resale shop. Finish mirror project. Schedule an appointment with insurance agent. Schedule an appointment to finish LH's headstone design. Make banner for my daughter's Sweet 16 party. Start cutting squares for shower curtain project. Price garage sale items. Work out at least 3 times. More vegetables, less sugar. Usual cleaning/laundry.

I'm so sorry for your loss. ((hugs))

Got up early and out of the house for a spa day with my daughters. Afterwards we went out for lunch, then did some shopping. Busy day! I was definitely ready to get my shower and put my pj's on. I ended my evening messaging with two single men. Church in the morning, so I should go to bed soon.

I know I should. I was just hoping that they would be doing the asking. I need to decide who to ask. I'll keep you posted.

db flat bench presses 45 reps (max 35# db's) db flat bench flys 45 reps (max 20# db's) db flat bench pronated grip presses 45 reps (max 20# db's) db flat bench close grip presses 45 reps (max 20# db's) machine flys 45 reps (max 50#) 200 abs overhead cable extensions 45 reps (max 45#) cable pushdowns 45 reps (max 30#) 20 minutes cardio

The flirting. The messaging. The wondering if he's interested. The subtle hints. Is he ever going to ask me out? Should I just ask him? I'm almost 40. To old for this.

I'll just say that I'm frustrated from lack of activity.
