TGIFF



Well..I did it. I went against my stubborn streak of fully becoming immersed in the 21st century. I got cell phones for me and Rachel. (changes right?) They aren't your typical cell phone. I did the prepaid thing, which helps me keep control over usage and cost. I like that. What I really like about it, is that now that my daughter is getting older, going out with friends when I am not necessarily "there", I can keep tabs on her or at least have a way of contacting her if need be and vice versa. It seemed like the right and responsible thing to do as the protective parent I am. If it should turn out that I am not happy with the expense or how they are used, then I have the option of stopping it instead of being stuck in some 2 year contract. It works for me. And the phones I got are really pretty. You should see the colors and stuff I can do on this thing. :P

On the home front, I talked with her Dad yesterday. Hmmmpf. He told me they went to Hawaii for their honeymoon. HAWAII. Grr. It drives me a little nuts that he does the things I have always wanted to do. And he knows it. It was like he was rubbing it in my face or something. I started to get a bit upset yesterday, thinking of how people who do wrong seem to get the good.

But ya know? He has missed out big time on his daughter. And I can't think of anything that is better than experiencing her. So there! You big dumb jerk.

The weekend begins officially at 5 o'clock today. WooHOO! Hope yours goes as swiftly and effortlessly as I hope mine does.

Feline makes perfect sense! AND it's not like he got there because he 'earned' it. As ever, he lied his way in and eventually he will lie his way out again. Take heart, Florida is not far away!!!(well, it's far by 'distance' standards but not in time frame...oi)

PS to Feline...Truly, he is a jerk. It's not her venting over an ex. He really is a firstclass Jerk. I find myself praying for his newest victim. She is gonna need it.

Great weekend to all!!!

Love you girlie...XXOO

I have to agree. Like the jerks themselves, what it is on the inside is not what it appears to be on the outside. You have the real goods.

I think the prepaid will work good for now, Frenzied. I may choose later to upgrade to something more permanent.

What you said, makes perfect sense. It is kind of funny though. When we were still dating, we would go hiking all the time. He would never want to take the already worn path. We had to blaze through unknown territory and find "shortcuts". Every single time, we had to back track cause we got lost or couldn't go any further. Sort of representative, I think. Frankly, I think those new and unexplored areas can still be discovered while keeping on that straight and narrow path.

The extra F stood for "Flipping". (or add your own f word in place)

LOL

WooHOO! Florida! I so can't wait. We are going to have so much fun. Love you Mom. :x

Thank you Justice. I hope your puppy is feeling better...

DO NOT TELL EMILY YOU GOT RACHEL A CELL PHONE.

*not ready to flit the bill for that particular pre-teen expense.

The extra F?...I thought it meant "Thank God It's Finally Friday"......lol. I'm thinkin I'm glad my brain went in that direction, perhaps there is hope for me yet.

XXOO

No worries Amy. She isn't even allowed to give her number out to friends. It is strictly meant for contacting me or vice versa.

I'll tell her to keep her lips zipped. ;)

Ummm...yeah...Finally is an F word. HA!

I guess there is no hope for me...
