Getting your W to think about change - any change - is a major accomplishment. Congratulations!

Also, this is the first I've seen of her softer side.

WILD IDEA:

What if you brought your own cushions?

Like you, I skipped town to avoid my parents.
And they had done the same, I think.

This is a plausible pattern. I think a lot of young adults leave their parents only to come back when they have children of their own.

I'm not sure what you mean here. She would only agree to this change as it benefits her. LOL As far as her soft side, I think I am making her out to be harder then she is, Her bark is worse then her bite. you have to remember I have skewed perceptions..
Thanks for this!

I have a weird question. Anyone have a recipe for a whiskey cream strudel? My great aunt from Austria used to make it and for some reason, I am really craving it.

I am so swamped at work that I just turned off...completely paralyzed mentally so I thought...I would come here.

This happens every year around this time and I just forget how stressful it is, and I sign up for MORE. There are so many reasons I need to find a new T, but that takes energy and time...the less I have, the less I do about it. Would it be nuts to find a personal assistant to come up with T candidates for me to check out instead of bumbling around in the dark any more? Would my insurance agent be able to make a recommendation?

I've never heard of it but sounds like it could be tasty.

I bought all sorts of wonderful stuff at the farmer's market yesterday but with my stupid cold I can't smell or really even taste anything so what a waste.

Back to work tomorrow.. I am feeling good though. Not feeling sick and I slept most of the weekend. So, I am ready for the week ahead

I went into town today to go grocery shopping, and gets so clothes and shoes for the kids. Got to the grocery store.. forgot my wallet! It is a 30min drive one way.. So, I had to drive all the way home to get my wallet.. and go back. Waste of gas and my time. Oh well! Now, I am home.. we have food and I can relax!

Hi all.

MKAC - I am sorry about your aunt.
Critterlady - sorry you had a tough t session this morning. It can be very difficult when we feel we aren't connecting with t.
Healed - that's a bummer and a long drive! But glad you got your shopping done in the end.
Chopin - We'll all be here to keep you company.
