I leave for vacation on Friday and don't know how I feel about it. I'm going with my parents and brother but originally STBXH was supposed to also come. We're doing 10 days in Amsterdam and Paris which anyone should be excited about but I am having a hard time with that - it's bittersweet. Then I feel like an ungrateful brat for not wanting a great vacation.

Anyone care to provide a cliff notes version of what went down on ML yesterday?
My random is that I'm seriously pouting over the weather forecast for our camping trip at the beach on Lake Michigan next week. 71, 64, and 68 degrees. Clouds, no sun. But, in trying to see the positive in this, at least there's no rain and it's still a VACATION. I was just selfishly looking forward to spending the days on the beach with my boys and watching them play happily in the sand and splash in the water.

Yes, can anyone summarize?
PIP, love your attitude. It IS still a vacation, and maybe the weather will change before then so you can enjoy the sun, sand, and water with your boys!
This week is flying by. I've been super productive (cleaning house, donating a ton of housewares and clothes, exercising every day) and I'm looking forward to the weekend!
stellas tried to get bettyhomemaker to not terminate a pregnancy and instead let stella's family adopt it instead (she wound up with a mc)
Gypsy and jezabel don't get along irl for fairly tame reasons. But gypsy tried to make jez look crazy. Jez outted gypsy as being a troll on TN who revealed personal information on booby. People doubted this- gypsy made Jez look like emotionally unstable and crazy. Until Jez screenshot the image of the texts where gypsy admits it and made a joke about stabbing toledo in the throat.
Thank you!!
I saw the post from jez re: the screenshots and I was trying to piece together all the drama.

An understanding feeling - it is like a parallel life. You had a trip planned and it would be a certain way - but now it is all changed and it is hard to let that go.
It's silly but early on do something you know he would not have wanted to do but you do (eat something he doesn't like, visit something he wouldn't have cared about...). Enjoy that feeling.
I am so tired and keep having pregnancy dreams. FI and I are using protection until we are married, but I have had dreams so many nights in the past week I took a test to ease my mind. No babies in there!

My moms visit is going well so far - I am happy to have her here but I am glad to be at work. My mom can ask so many questions!
My friend told me he ran into stbx on 4th of July at a pool party. I don't know why that has me feeling down - it is just easier when I don't think of what he is actually doing with his time.
Looking forward to going with my mom to Austin this weekend and a brief change of scenery.
We won the kickball game last night! We're currently undefeated! Play-offs are NEXT week!
I am bummed. There is a party this weekend that I have been looking forward to attending ALL YEAR, and due to change in location, I am unable to go. Oh well, I should be home doing school stuff anyway.
Winter, (love that name) it is tough, but cherish and enjoy this time with your parents and brother, research some more about the vacation, maybe that will get you a bit more excited. For me, trip planning is just as fun as the actual trip.
I am eating an early lunch today cuz, it is buffalo pizza day in the hospital gift shop near my office. Score!

The girl who sits on the other side of my cubical wall still has flowers in a vase from Mother’s Day on display at her desk. Would it be rude of me to throw the entire thing away when she’s not here? We've said something to her several times already. I’d normally have no issues throwing the flowers away and keeping the vase for her, but by this point the water is so stagnant and covered in film/filth that I don’t want to mess with it. At least the fruit flies have gone away….
This makes me question the cleanliness of her house if she lets flowers sit dead at her desk for nearly 2 months when there’s a garbage can RIGHT THERE.

Gross! I had flowers for a month on my desk, but as they kept dying, I kept throwing them away and I changed the water every couple of days. After the last one died, I threw it away and dumped the water. I don't know how in the WORLD someone can leave that smelly crap on their desk for so long! Gross.
Not a whole lot to report today except that I'm generally very happy with how things are going now. There are little annoyances and things that stress me out but for the most part things really seem to be coming together. I am a lot happier than I've been in years. I know I've posted comments like that before but it's really true.I don't have a lot of reasons to complain and I'm trying to be grateful.
Career-wise, things are getting a lot more interesting than they've been in a long time. I am excited to be learning new things, building on my skills and growing professionally. I feel like I am moving away from inertia. I just need to be focused, confident and to push myself. I also had a good chat with the new guy, we've worked things out and he said that he wants to be BF/GF. All in all, it is a good time. I could really use a vacation and that's not on the cards for a little while but that's an FWP. I've been making up for that by finding other ways to relax such as swimming, sex, time with friends, etc. I think that I'll try to go on a vacation or two later this year/into next year as circumstances allow.

You will be fine. I'm sitting right now at the beach at Lake Michigan it's 70 and the sun is going back and forth between the clouds. The young girls I brought with me are having a great time in the sand and are wading a bit in the water. It's Lake Michigan. You have to roll with it. The water is 48F here which is the only crappy part! A

Even the flies don't want it.
I came back from lunch and the flowers are gone. Now I'm paranoid she's a dirty lurker!!!

Oh I fully expect the water to be artic temps, for sure! I just hope it's nice enough so B can have some sand time.
You know that feeling when a mean girl who's been really nasty to you gets outed for being batshit crazy? And you feel vindicated in your dislike for her? Ya, I have that feeling.
I feel like this works as a point to justify my theory that mean girls on the internet have fucking problems, man.
YES! I felt the same way. Especially because she was the one calling me crazy and ugly. hahahaha

I never much cared for her and didn't really "know" her, but I was satisfied with the result of that shitstorm.
