Today was my first normal Saturday after leaving my abusive and controlling husband. It's been a little over a week since I left....and I feel absolutely amazing. I have no regrets and this feeling of freedom is incredible! I'm free! I'm free! I can do what I want without feeling like I am walking on eggshells…
Holy shit snacks, that's some truly terrible fuckwittery right there.
Ew, who the fuck tells someone to get plastic surgery? What awful things to say. I'm sorry and I hope you have some cool family members who don't behave like cartoon villains and can commiserate with you.
In December I finally graduated with my BA and got accepted into grad school. Yay!!! I also moved out of my house I shared with my husband and we filed for divorce.
Four weeks ago I had double stomach surgery- a Nissen Fundoplication up top and a pyloroplasty down below. I haven't been able to eat solid food since Thanksgiving and in that time I've lost about 20lbs. As you can probably guess, my diet has been horrendously unhealthy (there's only so much I can get out of the small…
Ugh, I am sorry. That is so shitty and they should have never said those things to you. They are not trying to be helpful - they are trying to get out some criticism of you to feed their own egos. Big hugs.
If he messages again I will definitely be more blunt with the, "No, this is really our last communication. Any more feelings you feel the urge to share you need to talk about with someone else." In my mind I've made that clear, but I most likely left it sort of open ended. Being blunt about the boundaries would…
Your kids love you and think you are beautiful. And you will likely raise them to be much different than these appearance-obsessed and truly *ugly* family members. And as Dorothy Parker once said, "Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone."
I can have them sent directly to Trash, but honestly I'd look for them. Hence, dramatic high school freshman. I'm kind of using the anger to boost the falling-out-of-love process. Even just thinking "He didn't message today, but I guess he's just waiting to weeks again so I can be blind sided by his name in my…
I roasted a chicken this afternoon with some lemons and herbs from the garden (whee, I made stuff grow!!) and now I'm making some garlic roasted potatoes to go with it.
I posted last time about having to cut my best friend out of my life because I'm in love with him. I couldn't talk to him at the time (because I was busy ugly crying) so I sent him an email. It wasn't dramatic, just blunt and flippant. He didn't respond and after a few days I figured, "Mmk, guess he doesn't know…
Congrats on the weight loss and getting active! That's a huge accomplishment.
My whole family, parents, in-laws, sisters, aunt and uncle, pretty much the whole crew, comes over for a New Year's luck and money lunch. I make ham, black-eyed peas, collard greens, Mac and cheese, cornbread, and banana pudding, and bloody Mary's . We eat ourselves stupid, then after everyone leaves, I crash on the…
My grandma used to say that whatever you were doing at midnight on the New Year would be what you do the most of in the coming year. Welp, I am going to be sitting alone, fending off the fur toddlers, farting around online, avoiding work and eating Nutella straight out of the jar. I am totally good with this.
I "worked out" for a half hour, but it was only a slow walk through the woods with my dog. I'm still counting it though, which is why I deserve the Christmas cookies I'm making tonight.
In my efforts to be healthier, I worked out today for a whole 20 minutes! Then I felt like I was going to throw up. Now I'm ordering chinese food.
This is not strange at all, but I start every single NYD with waffles for breakfast (this is the only day of the year I eat them) and endless champagne. We watch the Rose Parade in bed with the dogs.
Since I'm still extremely pissed off and saddened by this, I can't enjoy the party I'm at without expressing my feelings first. I wrote out an open letter:
