That hotter than hades weather was driving me nuts. We finally broke down and turned the AC on. It's supposed to be cooler the next couple of days so we can open the windows again. Good. I can' wait for Fall ... how many more days?
We got a bigger dining room table from our neighbors. It expands to seat 10 people ... we have a real dining room now!! We are having a few friends over for dinner tomorrow night and I'm so excited that we can all sit around the table. No more busting out the card table and extra chairs. As classy and convenient as that was.
Ok. There's so much weirdness going on right now. I'm not sure where to begin.
Hhmmmmm. So, my ex-husband has been arrested and is in jail until his trial in October unless someone bails him out before then. (I feel free to share this on my blog because it is now public knowledge ... printed in the paper). His financial indiscretion is finally catching up with him it seems. Since his arrest I have been contacted by several people seeking understanding, etc. (I talked at length to one of them this morning) I'm going through so many emotions. I find it refreshing to "clear the air" and to help others make sense of what's happening. Ex puts on such a good show, most people are dumbfounded and never saw it coming, others are not surprised yet still extremely disappointed/confused.
I always wanted so much more for him than he wanted for himself. It's tough when you love someone that refuses to change. I lived through so much pain with him (beyond just the financial realm).
It's the same old, same old. What's happening right now is nothing new to me (or him) and I'm saddened by the realization that he may always remain enslaved to his own desires.I'm so thankful for the life I lead now. There are no secrets in this house.
And to end with a little bit of happiness ...

it's funny the things that smaller-town papers have the room to include, details that larger papers do not...
i know that that's not really the relevant subject of this post, but that's the part of it that jumped out and me, and got me musing on...
also, the video is great! i love that you love where you are now, and that you are so grateful and blessed.
Whatdja do with the old table?
@markitwithab -
A friend from my old workplace took it. She's going through a divorce and needs furniture for her and her daughters.
@beanbeanthetraumaqueen - It wasn't on the front page or anything, just under Court News (or something like that). No Court News in the Fort?
I'm glad I'm here now, too.
@oneparkbench - we do have "court news", but it's much more brief in descriptions. for instance, they don't put every arrest, i don't think. and they definitely don't include things like:
At 1:43pm on 6/20/11, William M. Williams of 111 Pleasant St. reported a break in to his 1995 Honda Civic 4-door. The front passenger window was shattered. Items reported missing include an 8 track player, multiple cassette tapes, 5 bottles of Binaca spray, a case of Natty Light, a church hymnal, Nintendo gaming console, a french poodle, and a tool set. No injuries were reported.
@beanbeanthetraumaqueen - You guys are missing out on some vital information.
