Holding On By A String and A Bottle of Wine

Happy Thanksgiving! While I love to see my family, I can't wait to see them walk out the door either. My mom is getting more and more high strung as she ages and it was a tough day dealing with her. So yes, the bottle came out and with every criticism, with every snippy remark...I drank a glass. Not bad, only needed one bottle for the day! I was barely holding on by a string to try and keep the smile on my face. But I did it, I didn't snap, I didn't yell, I held it together until the end!

Gave a lot of thought to all your remarks regarding Mr. G. And you are all right!!! I need to just let it happen and not overanalyze every move. I am the type of person who likes everything in a nice package. All my T's crosses and I's dotted...okay I'm anal. And this is one instance where I need to sit back and just let it happen. Stop trying to control the situation is very tough for me. I do it in business, I do it in my marriage and I do it in every aspect of my life....because I have to.

I'm not used to someone taking control and that's his personality as well. And Kissy, I thought about it. He has sent me some type of an email everyday just to say hi. Today, he was so concerned that I didn't get my email so he sent it to my email, my phone and my voice mail to make sure I got his Happy Thanksgiving message.

I definitely have a warped sense of humor, I took a picture of my turkey (which I was very proud of) and sent it to him. He thinks I am a off the wall....I love to do spontaneous and fun things and he's not used to letting his guard down. He'll relax hopefully!

I also noticed that a holiday is a reason why old contacts seem to come out of the wood work. I got an email from Shrinky Dink, Boy Toy and my two stalkers. I honestly thought they had given up but they haven't....I am always honest when it comes to the fact that I am seeing someone else. One stalker tried to put me on a guilt trip. " I am waiting for your relationship to end so we can hook up. I haven't been with anyone nor am I trying to meet someone. I know we are perfect for each other".

I got a horrible chill up my spine. I had spoken to this guy once on the phone and we may have emailed three times back and forth many months ago. I told him to move on, not to wait for me. But he insists that if we met, I would be so happy with him. Okay, he's flipping me out. I told him that once too. "You are starting to really flip me out can you stop". Obviously, it didn't work. So now I am taking the ignore approach. Hopefully, he will get the message that way. I never knew I gave such good email....Scary!

And that's it. I did have an email back and forth with a "doctor". Does a chiropractor count as a doctor? Personally, I don't think so, yet they all say they are doctors. A think they are doctor wannabees. Hey, if nothing else, I can get a few adjustments!

Well this is really my last post till Sunday. Leaving at 6AM and I'm still not packed and have a kitchen to get back in order. Hope you had a great turkey day and a great weekend!
