ROLL CALL!
Check this out:
The first time I got an annulment after finding out that he was married to someone else. Whole other family. I was 16 when I got married the first time. We had three children.
The second time was a rebound relationship and I actually tried to back out on the day of the wedding. His mother came to me and threatened my very existance. "You WILL go out there and marry my boy.. I don't care if you divorce him tomorrow, you will MARRY him TODAY!". We got married July 29th, divorce was final February 2nd.
The third time was a very good looking man who thought I was a princess despite the fact that I was HUGE. He hated sex. I don't. We were together like 13 years. He is happier now that we could have ever been while together and I am happy for him.
The fourth time was a childhood sweetheart. We did a whirlwind romance all the while reminicing about the "good old days". We got married immediately and then I found out that he had turned into a bitter, racist fool. I don't do racism. It's a deal breaker.
This time, I have the perfect man. He's smart, funny, incredibly hot, he thinks I'm perfect (boy do I have HIM fooled) and we are so happy that romance movies get jealous.
Do I feel horrid about my marriages? Not really. Somehow, we have all ended up being friends, and the choices I have made (right or wrong) have led me to this place where I am happier than I have ever been. Not because of The Cowboy (perfect man that he is), but I think my newly found inner happiness and self satisfaction brought him to me and he is definately a blessing.
2. Friday, February 13, 2009 (my surgeon confirmed I am not supersittious before scheduling on a Friday the 13th...I confirmed HE was not supersittious before scheduling on a Friday teh 13th!)
3. Jimmy Dean's turkey sausage patties, reduced fat pepper jack and an egg "fried" in non-stick spray on a slice of whole wheat toast. When I make the egg I put the spray in the pan, add some salt and fresh ground pepper to the spray before putting the egg in the pan and it forms a yummy salty/peppery crust on the egg...yum!) Oh, and midget dill pickles dipped in peanut butter.
4. Wrapping a hotel towel around my body and the edges overlapped, wearing a size 12, finding a malignant lump in my neck that was likely there for a long time but just burried under fat.
I have been very fortunate that I can tolerate everything I have tried so far. Faves would have to be Laughing cow cheese, mozzarella string cheese and wasabi flavored almonds.
Best NSV--shopping in my own closet and fitting in things I have not worn in years!
Have a great day everyone!!
