You’re still not quite over her, are you?
Nah, it just takes one to know one.
Glad to hear about the last one, at least.
I was just re-reading your excellent murder mystery the other day. I was going to do a sequel but couldn’t figure out how - apparently I’m better at solving mysteries than creating them. So if you happen to have a lot of free time on your hands at the moment…(hint hint)…
She tasted like strawberries.
Got that divorce.
Dumped the 22-year-old for the 26-year-old.
Turns out my instincts were correct; the 26-year-old was indeed still pining for her ex. They’re back together now.
Had a series of great and not-so-great dates and hookups.
Dumped the 28-year-old who left me twisting in the wind after she told me she wanted to leave me hanging for a few more weeks.
What I’ve learned: it’s stupid to get depressed over a two month relationship, I can always get back on the horse, and my Spidey Sense is usually correct.
I ended up RSVPing for my sister’s wedding, but I never ended up going to the wedding itself.
It’s not what you think, though…
Shortly after The Boy and I bought our plane tickets and made our hotel reservations, I got a message on Facebook from my sister letting me know that the wedding was indefinitely postponed. I still don’t know what prompted this decision, but to say I was phenomenally relieved is probably the understatement of the century.
Since the tickets and room deposits were non-refundable, The Boy and I still went on our Toronto-Vancouver-Halifax-Toronto grand tour of insanity… we spent a week driving around Nova Scotia, bouncing from one town to the next. It was actually quite a fun time, especially now that there was no stress about the whole wedding fiasco. We’ll do Hawaii next year, hopefully.
Despite the fact that they didn’t get married after all, sister and her boy are still together. A few weeks ago, they both packed up their respective belongings (hers from Ontario and his from Idaho) and moved to Texas, where she’ll be starting her First Real Job.
No word on when or if the wedding will be rescheduled - I’m hoping that they won’t be rushing into it this time around, and will first make sure that their love can survive the reality of living in the same zip code.
Awesome. I congratulate you! I was actually the girl in a similar story (my parents hated him, mostly for other reasons but some because he’d been in grad school for a while and they didn’t think he’d amount to much, and actually threatened to disown me… ex and I did actually break up over that, though I might well have stuck with him if the relationship hadn’t had other major issues) and although I’m doing quite well now, the ex is doing stellar financially and pulling a salary that I strongly suspect is approaching seven figures. I like to rub this in my parents’ faces at every opportunity 
(Not because I’m not over him, but more because I’m still upset that my parents pulled that trump card on me.)
(I feel I should also append that my parents have by and large been terrific parents, just that they have some big huge irrational spots that every once in a while get the better of them.)
In the ongoing saga of my stomach issues: Last week I awoke with terrible pain in the belly. Pain in the belly is not too uncommon for me, but as the day wore on it got worse and worse. Finally about 3AM the next morning I was pretty sure I was off for another operation. The pain was intense enough that I felt pretty sure something had herniated.
I packed a bag, emailed people who needed to know and then took some pain meds to let me sleep until I could get in. (I was pretty sure I was not in mortal danger, although the doc has given me heck for making the choice myself.)
The next day I awoke feeling much better, although everything was still tender when probed, I wasn’t in half the pain I was during the night. The doc recommended an Upper GI. So far, we still don’t know what caused the pain, but we don’t think that I’m off for yet another operation (that the gods.)
On the business I started last year: My business partners do not put in the time to this part of the business that they should. Although I have some domain experience, I am not a domain expert and *they *need to specify the requirements. We are moving forward, but not nearly as fast as we could if they did their parts. I worry that we will run out of money before the product is finished.

I named the cats River, Inara, and Kaylee. We use Firefly as the theme. In the end, though, Kaylee turned out to be a male cat and we switched his name to Cade, after Cade Foster in First Wave.

Indeed, my wife and I have received a referral for baby girl from Korea. We’ll be going over to get her in October/November we estimate to get her.*
*The baby is listed second because that is the chronological order of the original threads, not out of importance.
My eye is fine. I do have what appears to be a permanent floater that is kind of annoying but my vision is still perfect. My boyfriend nicknamed my floater Hubert for some reason.
I’m glad your eye is fine, but this just made me laugh out loud.
Yeah, he’s cute like that. 
Well, since you’re one of my Hopeless Doper Crushes, I’m glad you found someone good.
If you don’t mind, I’m going to mentally parse that as (Hopeless Doper)(Crushes) and not (Hopeless)(Doper Crushes) and giggle quietly to myself.
Hopeless Doper Crushes Cars! Tonight at 9.
Note to self: include significant hyphen.
In thisthread I talked about possibly having MS. An MS specialist at Stanford didn’t think what I had was MS, or TIAs for that matter. He suspected it was non-specific “normal” aging. This was quite a relief. Of course, that doesn’t explain the dizzyness I’m still having, but that’s another (long) story…

Second episode of the next season of House?
I didn’t post about my long travails without full-time employment (although Sunspace gamely sat through my whining a time or two), but as of today, I have a new job. For the first time in two years.
I started a thread about “what bookkeeping skills are necessary for a secretary?”–thank you for the answers, everyone. I may have whined about my job in previous posts, as well.
I did end up polishing my resume with help from a friend, and the first job I applied for (to see what else was out there) I got. I’ve now been at the new job for just over a month, and I’ve had to learn a lot of accounting stuff.
I also wanted to thank everyone for their movie suggestions in my romantic movies thread, wherein I was looking for movies like “Sense and Sensibility” for my Sensitive husband.
Thanks, folks!
Over her like a mofo.
Thing is, we have all the same friends in common, and I’m not about to leave the table when her name comes up.
And really, the only thing (if anything) I’m known for on this board is having the ex (or being Catholic), so I figured I’d post the update.
