Kat, it made me smile too. I thought it was great. I need to make it my resolution. Not all that hard when you think about it, but it sure would improve our quality of life if we truly followed it!
Hugs!!!

Saturday night I spent time with Mr. A. Had a very pleasant night. It was so cold, we stayed in and watched movies and dined on a gourmet meal of chicken nuggets from McDonalds. I didn't even want to leave the house to go get food...lol. He said he would go get food and I requested nuggets, yes I know very healthy...ha!
Mr. A and I continue to open up to each other more about our previous lives. We both admit that when we look back that our marriages were not perfect before we were blindsided by the request for divorces from our spouses. Actually, Mr. A received the request for a divorce on his birthday.
Being able to talk to Mr. A reminds of me what was lacking in my marriage...no communication. I remember when I was married always feeling like H and I no longer communicated. It's like we couldn't sit down and carry on a conversation. I remember thinking wow, it would be so nice to have a husband who actually talked.
Mr. A and I talk all the time. Some conversations are deep and some are just....talk...lol. He teases me all the time that I talk a lot, but then will tell me he likes talking to me. I love that he is so smart and challenges me. Yes, he can be opinionated, but so can I. We agree to disagree...lol. It doesn't bother either one of us that we have different opinions on things. I love his sense of humor.
I don't know where our relationship will go, but I am enjoying the ride right now. He is showing that men do more than come home from work, eat and then retire to watch television and never leave the room.

You gotta love kids. Today in my first period class. I told one of my students I was concerned about his grade because he wasn't turning in his assignments. I told him you certainly don't want to have me twice next year for a make up class. He smiled and said I wouldn't mind, this is my favorite class. Then I approached it from well, you'll never graduate then. His reply was that's Okay, Ms. R, I'll just stay with you until I'm 46. I told him sorry, I gotta kick you out at 21.
TGIF...Not only is it Friday, it's pay day, and I have a 3 day weekend coming up. I have a date with Mr. A Saturday night. Woooo...life is good!

It is nice to hear you sounding so happy and stable, Yoyo. The thought of dating still does not appeal to me....of course, I haven't met any potential dates anyway- LOL!
Yoyo-so glad it sounds like your life is going so well!!! Communicating sounds great, and hand-holding, and all that kind of stuff. You deserve every bit of happiness! And that is so cute your student wants to stay in your class forever!!! What a sweetie!
