Nothing new on the homefront--kind of hard to resolve anything when you have not spoken to each other in almost 3 weeks.
I have moved past my anger and now I just don't feel anything--perhaps I have already emotionally checked out. I really need to set up some time with a counceller--but I don't have time to breathe, non the less interview or check out that kind of thing.
Does he think this is just going to "go away"--maybe if we do't talk, it will just dissappear and things will go back to normal? We share a house, but that is it--he is in the man cave or in a bedroom--we avoid each other at all costs when moving about the house...this sucks!
I have decided that one month is the limit on how long I will let this go on...and then I will issue the ultimatum....we either decide to work things out and get some help or we end things--this is not good for anyone....
The craziest thing? I have not shed ONE tear.....my anger has ruled me for 2 months...and now, when I think about things being over--it dosn't really bother me all that much. I will be ok--I have a support system--and a plan for the future if this goes to divorce--that is worked out...but why don't I cry? I think it's strange...

FML
Picture it....December 2011
You start to wonder why your husband of almost 23 years starts physically turning off and putting away his laptop after 4 years of it sitting on the same end table. You start to wonder when you husband--who never had his phone on him--it always layed out on the counter on the charger--he didn't pay attention to it...now NEVER has the phone out of his site, the ringer is turned off and it's always in a pocket or in his coat. When you are around him and you hear his phone beep, but he never checks who it is or what that sound is...
He starts up tanning again in earnest...starts making plans to go out and doesn't invite you to go or is totally vauge as to where things will be and who will be there..and he goes alone.
You start to wonder when you receive more Christmas presents at one time than you have over the last 3 years......
You go to pay for cell phone bill and you notice that 15 days in your billing cycle (out of 31) that your husband is thisclose to being out of texts...and this is a guy who used to barely use 100 total in the same amount of time.....
You start to wonder when there are comments made on his Facebook page by people he doesn't work with, that are local and he's never mentioned to you.
SOOOO...as any normal person would do....I stop wondering and I start investigating.....beginning with all the texts....hmmm...I see a pattern here on a few numbers...wonders who they are....so I call....and much to my (non) surprize, it's another woman--her home phone, her cell phone and her WORK phone..all over the texting and the phone usage.....
Then you check the bank statements....hmmmmm....lunch over by her work...on a day the he is OFF--at a place that would be unlike him to eat in at....Oh and no...don't tell me it was take out becasue I saw the first charge--you know, the one they run thru before you put a tip on it? Then I saw the final charge with the tip come thru....stupid man
So you start looking into things and you see that all of his passwords have been changed for Facebook and such....you used to know them--heck he used to leave FB up and running all the time.....must be using that little FB chat feature to keep in touch with his friends(s).
He starts wondering why you are so distant......you say it's nothing while you keep on hoping that you are DEAD WRONG, but you just know in your gut that you are right.
So this goes on for a few weeks....and you cannot take it anymore--especially after you have seen the hotel reservation made for a King Suite, for 2 people (pretty dumb to leave that in your "trash" folder asshole) that he had made for when he is going out of town for something for his "hobby". So you call the gal pal and ask her what her plans are for that night--I play dumb too, like it was a wrong number and I just hang up. She totally plays dumb--but she gets a hold of your hubby to let him know that the jig is up! Nothing is said to me by him--but off he goes anyway--he comes home the same night, but what if I hadn't called and said anything? What would have really happened?
So a few more days go by and you start to get pissed, so you go pull out his computer...you look and you see that his webpage history has been cleared, all the search history cleared...everything--you even look at his trash folder--there are some pictures of interest in there, but I cannot prove where they came from--Chick posing on bikes--not this same chick mind you...but one wonders where he has gotten the ideas for me to post by his car in my heels.
I look into downloading a key stroke logger....but nothing is getting past our Antivirus or Firewall--damn me beign so efficient...but I DON"T clear my history....lets see what this does, shall we?
AMAZING, that night I get his computer shoved in my face by him...with all sorts of WTF'S! and WTH are YOU doing being thrown around.
So I just lay it on the line and ask who the hell HEATHER is.....well, that sure got things going.
Did you know that you need to share your phone number with SOMEONE who works the cashier line at your work's lunch room--not even for your comapny, so it's not like you would really get to know this person--but you really SHOULD give her your phone number...just so she can "keep in touch" and let you know how htings are going--because SHE'S only a person you see for less than 10 minutes per weekend? Really--you have formed such a strong bond only talking to this person as you pass in the lunch line...that you can call her at her other job and talk and call her on her cell? Oh what? She's married too?? OOOOOOHHHHHH,, yeah, you all must only really just be friends then....
I'M NOT FUCKING STUPID!
However, according to YOU, I am the worst person on the face of the earth because I DARE to sneak around and see what YOU are up to.....Why do I have to sneak around, why can't I jsut come out and ask you? Well, for one thing asshole, don't believe you anymore, your actions since after Thanksgiving have spoken more than your words!
If I were to trust you, you would have told me right from the beginning what was going on with your FRIEND, you tell me about evey last detail about shit I don't care about from all of your other "FRIENDS"--but this one NEVER once has been mentioned until YOU GOT BUSTED.
But I am the bitch who had ruined it all? You are DONE with ME? 23 years down the drain because I was checking up on you?
FUCK YOU!
My mother tells me that this is a very dangerous age for men...especially men who are lost and struggling to find there place again after change and chaos in their work and financial life (hmmm sound familiar?). I guess we'll have to see where this goes....
Right now, we don't even speak.....I don't know how I'll ever forgive you for the hateful things you said to me Monday night.

Summer Time and the living is easy....or not....What!, It's over????!!!
Oh Summer, where for art thou summer?
You sauntered in all cold and rainy, you stayed for but a minute all hot, sticky and ugly--now you sneak away like a thief in the night. Taking all the joy and freedom with you.
School begins once again, vacations are but a memory...Fall is just around the corner....

Back to school Shopping list
BEGIN RANT....
Yeah, yeah, I know--I'm a big loser for doing the back to school list--but hear me out.
DD left for 2 weeks at her grandparents house yesterday, she comes back on the 1st, has a crazy week upon her return, we then leave for Gaitlinburg on the 6th, come back on the 12th and school starts on the 22nd. (Whew--tired just typing that.)
Do you know what kind of picked over crap will be left that 3rd week of August? Yeah--that is why we went this weekend. Also, as any parent of a "tweener" will know, NOTHING is bought for the child without them picking it out themselves--you might as well just set fire to your wallet--because bringing something home without approval is a PROMISE that it will never get touched.
I digress....
TEACHERS! WTF! Why is there always one elusive item on your list every year? For me, it's TWO ERASEABLE RED pens. I can find blue, I can find black--no worries. I went to Wally World, Meijer, Office Max and Office Depot before I basically said F-THIS!
I googled them online and can get them at STAPLES--oh, but there is only ONE of them within 30 miles of my house and it's in the ghetto--with gas as high as it is, I am also not driving 25 miles for a freaking PEN.
Rumor has it that Target has them ON OCCASION--so the gal told me to just keep "checking back". Whatever. So, if my kid is the one that shows up with her 2 STANDARD red pens, you can just suck it up.
End rant

Death of an old friend
I know it's been forever since I have written, but I just have not been feeling it...
Now I am feeling too many emotions to even get them down on paper/screen/interwebs..
An old friend from my MUCH younger days has been murdered. I am filled with shock and sadness at this horrible event.
He was just a normal guy...would do anything for anyone. If you needed something and he had it--it was yours. He was a simple man, worked hard all his life. He was just that type of man
He fought his demons, he raised 2 sons, he took care of his aging mother...He was just that kind of man
I remember Randy working on my Honda Civic--bitching the whole time that I bought a foreign POS and maybe I wouldn't have problems if I bought American--but he still made sure my car was safe and that I could get where I was going. He was just that kind of man...
I remember playing DartBall at the local union hall--Randy serving as our "protector" as we were some pretty naive little girls and we were always doing stupid shit--he kept us alive sometimes--I swear! He was just that kind of man...
He loved my best friend--they almost got married. Selfishly, I wish they would have, things would have been so different and her path in life might have taken different turns and I would still have her around daily. But that was not to be and now she is broken hearted...
It all changed in one night.
His youngest son's High school graduation party was going on..for whatever reason Randy went up to the gas station...some idiot was causing trouble and Randy stepped in to help. A decision that ended his life.
How does another human being look into the eyes of a person standing in front of him and slam down on the gas pedal? How does that evil drag a human being 63 feet under his van and crush him to death? How does that evil sit in a courtroom and plead not guilty during his arraignment?
How does one man destroy a family and leave 2 young men without a father? All because the evil man's son was a hot head and could not control his temper? All because the Toledo Police department didn't have enough man power on a Saturday night to respond to an assault in progress?
I just don't understand..........
God Bless you Randy...Godspeed my friend...Rest in Peace

How is it possbile....
How is it possible for my DD to be 10 years old? I just gave birth to her right? She is no longer a baby, when did this happen?
Dear sweet little girl who stole my heart, you have grown into this amazing child.
So kind, so compassionate, so funny--I am filled with joy.
Your smart mouth and so much attitude-- so much like me in so many ways that it drives me crazy!
Your mannerisms, your intelligence, your smile--they overwhelm me!
Your inability to clean your room, to pick up your crap or to brush your hair--sends me to the freaking EDGE!
Your curiosity, your bravery, your ability to forgive--it makes me proud!
Your singing, you teaching smaller children, your patience--makes my heart full.
All of these things make you the wonderful daughter that you are and I am SO glad to be your Mom!
Happy 10th Birthday baby!

Oh My GOODNESS!!! YEAH!!!
OK--it may only be exciting to me, but guess what I saw today?????
THE FIRST ROBIN OF SPRING!!! Could it be, yes, I think there just might be hope that this long hard cold cruel winter might be coming to an end.
Yes, I know it's only the middle of March and snow is still a pretty good threat around these parts, but the feeling of hope that comes with seeing that little bird just really made my day.
It's been a miserable winter around here (and I think I am getting too old to put up with this crap), but, as with all things, change happens.
I was having a really depressing morning, thinking of those suffering in Japan--the horrible images being shown on TV are enough to make me cry. The disasterous nuclear event that is happening and could affect many, many people. These are scary times! I just have such a horrible feeling about what is to come.
Then, I saw the robin. I was remind that to everything there is a season and spring brings hope and new beginnings.......

I got nothin' So here are the ABC's of ME!
Borrowed from "Happy Hopefuls"
Twenty-Six (OR A-Z of Me, as some are calling it...)
1. Age: 42 (oh geez)
2. Blog Title Inspiration: I read blogs for years and would rarely comment thus the "Lurker" part and my life is crazy--so there you are
3. Chore You Hate: ANYTHING to do with the bathroom--I hate it ever so much!
4. Day at the Beach or Cozy Rainy Day? Day at the Beach--what could ever be better than the sun warming your face and your toes in the sand
5. Essential Start Your Day Item: Diet Mt. Dew. Uncaffinated Lurker makes for a miserable everyone else
6. Favorite Color: PINK!
7. Gold or Silver? I go between both, but I have been on a real silver kick for the last year or so.
8. Height: 5'5''--I am not bred from tall people...
9. Instruments You Play: My grandmother attempted to teach me the piano when I was younger, but alas, I never picked it.
10.Job Title: Project Manager
11. Kids: 1 dear daughter who I love more than anything in the world (even when she won't do anything with her hair and it's hanging in her face--end rant)
12. Live: In Ohio--but is open to offers in warmer serene climates
13. Mom's Name: Mary
14. Book Currently on Your Nightstand: My Nook is on my nightstand and it's filling up fast, but I am currently reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I've had it in hard back for years, but it was not really easy to carry around so I bought it for Nook.
15. Nicknames: Don't really have any...
16. Overnight Hospital Stays? Birthing the DD--extended stay due to c-section, Gall Bladder issues that had me rushed by ambulance to the hospital and kept for observation.
17. Pet Peeve: I HATE hearing people chew food--drives me nuts.
18. Quote from a Movie: "Frankly Scarlett Dear, I don't give a damn". Best movie and book EVAH!
19. Right or Left Handed? Right.
20. Siblings: 1 sister & 2 brothers.
21. Time You Wake Up? Well, since reaching peri-menopause, I wake up multiple times a night to toss and turn and beg the Deity to go back to sleep soon. But if you want to know when I am SUPPOSED to get up--that would be about 6:45.
22. Underwear: Today I am rocking the ever so popular "just about to start" panties--roomie, comfortable, but old enough that you don't really care what happens to them (too much info?) But usually I'm just a plain old Bikini girl for everyday--sometimes a thong if the outfit requires. I hate boyshorts--they ride the wrong way and I always feel like I've got a wedge going on.
23. Vegetable You Dislike: Not a fan of celery--too stringy for my taste.
24. What Makes You Run Late: My child driving me nuts....I think she does it just to spite me. In the morning she has 2 speeds, Turtle or snail--and I'm always running behind...
25. Yummy Food You Make: I amke lots of yummy things--Homemade Mac & Chz, Lemon Chicken, Baked Ziti and a Pasta Carbonara that is out of this world!!!
26. Zoo, Favorite Animal: Giraffe--they are so serene and have the sweetest eyes.

16. Overnight Hospital Stays? Birthing the DD--extended stay due to c-section, Gall Bladder issues that had me rushed by ambulance to the hospital and kept for observation.
17. Pet Peeve: I HATE hearing people chew food--drives me nuts.
18. Quote from a Movie: "Frankly Scarlett Dear, I don't give a damn". Best movie and book EVAH!
19. Right or Left Handed? Right.
20. Siblings: 1 sister & 2 brothers.
21. Time You Wake Up? Well, since reaching peri-menopause, I wake up multiple times a night to toss and turn and beg the Deity to go back to sleep soon. But if you want to know when I am SUPPOSED to get up--that would be about 6:45.
22. Underwear: Today I am rocking the ever so popular "just about to start" panties--roomie, comfortable, but old enough that you don't really care what happens to them (too much info?) But usually I'm just a plain old Bikini girl for everyday--sometimes a thong if the outfit requires. I hate boyshorts--they ride the wrong way and I always feel like I've got a wedge going on.
23. Vegetable You Dislike: Not a fan of celery--too stringy for my taste.
24. What Makes You Run Late: My child driving me nuts....I think she does it just to spite me. In the morning she has 2 speeds, Turtle or snail--and I'm always running behind...
25. Yummy Food You Make: I amke lots of yummy things--Homemade Mac & Chz, Lemon Chicken, Baked Ziti and a Pasta Carbonara that is out of this world!!!
26. Zoo, Favorite Animal: Giraffe--they are so serene and have the sweetest eyes.

Did someone say LAS VEGAS?? YES PLEASE!
So yeah! I get to go to Las Vegas!!! #WINNING !! (Thanks Charlie for the tons of laughs this past week)
It's for work, but hubby is riding my coat tails out there, so it will be a mix of business and pleasure!!! We have not been on vacation ALONE in like forever!!
I am going out to supervise the install of 7 client booths at CON-EXPO. The worlds largest construction trade event!!!!!!!!!! Um--ok. Is this the best I can get?
I'm not complaining--because hey,I GET TO GO TO VEGAS!, but isn't there something a leeeeettttllle more glamorous than hard hats, cranes and scaffolding that I could be getting a behind the scenes look at? No? OK! I guess when you live and work in the rust belt, it's part of the deal right?
Anyway....booking the airfare was a SHOCK! YIKES! Last time we were in Vegas (for BFF's wedding), it cost like $150.00 round trip for a ticket. This time: $615.00!!! and that is before the baggage charges. Sent my heart into complete failure! Thank the deity that we only have to pay for one of us to get out there. We will be staying at Harrah's--I've never stayed there, but it's central to where I will need to be working and playing, and I got a great deal on that--and an upgraded room to boot.
I didn't even give it a thought that we would be in THE VEGAS for St. Patrick's day--but I hear it can be an awful lot of fun that weekend--plus March Madness all the same time. Craziness!!!
I'm hoping to take in a good show--NO CELINE DION!--maybe one of the new Circ Shows would be cool. I just want to go out and warm my bones.....I'm sick of winter so maybe this will be a nice kick off to spring!
Anyheeww--that is all I've got going on for now....keep the Tiger blood running thru your veins and I'll catch up with you upon my return.
