Mom is good, she starts radiation right after xmas. The tumor has shrunk enough that the radiation wont pass through her esophogas (as was originally thought) so she wont be in pain when she swallows etc…very happy news. :slight_smile:

I have a 4 day weekend over xmas, and a 3 day for new years…still no plans for the eve.

I finally broke it off with Brian…I just told him we should cool it fora while. He said " Whatever you want, you know where I am." (whew, THAT was easy! )

I came home from work tonigh to find a couple of inches of water in the bathroom, Frankies closet, and all over my bedroom floor.
Pipe burst.
Fuck.

And…I kinda met someone… :o

I posted a personal ad on the net, (you all know how frustrated I have been, meeting smart guys from like a million miles away, and only morons at home, so I gave it a whirl!)

Three days after i put the ad up, I got a reply from Mr.X (not his real name :slight_smile: ) we emailed back and forth for a week…it was going great! He lives less than 2 hours away, smart, reads for fun, likes movies, quiet nights at home, plays Scrabble, and Triv. Purs. He sounded great!

In the mean time, I am trying to sell an ad to a respected non profit organizitation in nearby city…I call my contact, we chat at length ( we have spoken once before…months before ) anyhoo…Monday he calls and says : " I have a weird question for you…do you recognize this email address?"

I literally almost shit my pants!

Here it had been my contact that I had the emails going with!!

What are the odds???

Anyway, we talk on the phone every day since, he calls me at work for a short chat, and at home every night. He is solicitous, but not pushy, sweet, but not suggestive…and he works in Public Relations…so he HAS to be at least presentable! We get along wonderfully so far, and I smile constantly :slight_smile:

He is coming to my home town between xmas and new yrs. so we can go out.

So thats whats up with me!

What have you guys been up to?
Holiday plans?

Spill it!

I got a seed catalog in the mail on Saturday and spent Sunday planning out the most wonderous fantastical super great garden ever. Of course, this summer when everything goes horribly wrong and I’m left with a pile of dried up or mutated plants I’m going to be posting: “That goddamned seed catalog!”

One week only! Special holiday sig line:

Kelli, I’m so glad things with your Mom are going better than had been expected, and that there’s a less-creepy man on the horizon.

I am ever so busy, and full of plans for the new year. Better apartment (I registered with a real-estate company); I am finishing up one book and starting another; and I’m joining a gym near my office so I can go swimming at lumchtime at least 3x a week (“go, you chicken fat, go!”).

I’m also seeing a Considerably Younger Man. I’m pretty sure nothing will come of this, but it’s fun playing Mrs. Robinson . . .

I’ve been a good little girl since Santa has his eye on me this month. Sat on his lap at the mall last weekend and told him my Christmas wish. Been busy trying to get two catalogs out to production before the New Year. Went to LA to visit my daughter, that was really cool. I think she took me to every major restaurant in the city. (she writes… she doesn’t cook) Have a job interview for a company closer to my home next week, so I dusted off the old resume. More money, less playtime here :frowning: Best of all I got to speak to my man yesterday. I miss him!

I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
