So, I’m in the process of getting a divorce. I had hoped it would go better than it has, but I suppose I shouldn’t have expected things to be different now when they haven’t been for the past five years. It’s always somewhat gratifying (well, sometimes it just sucks, really) to find out people really *are* who you thought they were. He owes me money, and he’s late making a loan payment I cosigned with him on, so that’s going to fuck with my credit. Yay. Also, he was supposed to coach my daughter’s soccer team again, but I guess he changed his mind about that because he hasn’t showed. So, I told her yesterday that I would help coach. 
Don’t get me wrong; I know I can be a good coach. I just have to learn all the rules and stuff of soccer is all. If it makes her feel better, hey, I’m all for it!
When you hope for so long and expend so much energy believing in someone, only to be let down time after time, it gets harder and harder to hope and believe. My reserve for this person is gone. He’s proven to me now that he seems to really only care about one thing: himself. Perhaps that’s something I should’ve recognized a long time ago. “You live, you learn. You love, you learn. You laugh, you learn. You choose, you learn.”

I haven’t posted much of anything here lately. Today, I return with possibly the most boring blog entry ever. Today, I get to go to the dentist and have my permanent crown put on.
yay

I love scary movies. Although I’m 33 years old, I still am able to get scared enough that I don’t want to go to the bathroom alone. (post The Ring experience) Ever since I started seeing previews for The Skeleton Key, I was like, “HELL YEAH! THAT LOOKS LIKE IT’LL MAKE ME NOT WANT TO PEE ALONE!” I went to see it last night. BAH! Not scary at all. Not even half a scary moment in the whole damn movie. Not to say it was BAD because it was pretty good. It just wasn’t scary. This just reinforces my less-than-favorable opinion about movie previews.
So, if you want to go see it, just don’t be expecting anything particularly scary. Interesting, though.

This day sucks. Work sucks. Shit sucks. Everything sucks. AND I have to go to “Parent Orientation” tonight at Logan’s school. That sucks.
*grumble*
And I was going to write a good post today about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Too frackin’ bad, man. It ain’t happenin’ now.

All I can say is… I <3 Rhino for their 7-day return policy on their games. *cheer*
I went and got that game for Logan yesterday, and once she put it in and played it some, she didn’t like it! (Of course, this is after I told her, “Now, if you don’t like this, be sure and tell me, so we can take it back and get something else!” So, don’t be thinking she’s a snotty bratty unappreciative kid because that couldn’t be further from the truth!) Anyway, I’m not surprised. A heavy gamer, she is not. At least we can get her something she likes. All in all, I think she will have ended up having a damn good birthday week, even with the separation. We all went out to eat with the family Monday night, and she got a birthday cake and presents. Last night, she and I watched a movie together. Tonight, we’re taking her and a friend to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (yay! I can’t wait!).
I’m so thankful for my girl. She’s such an awesome kid.

Ok, so I changed my mind. I went ahead and bought her the game. She’s not a violent type. If I find it’s too much, I’ll take it back, but I think it will be fine.
Right now, my focus is going to be to try and make her birthday a good one! I might even spring for Taco Bell for dinner.

So, I don’t think I will get that game for Logan. I mean, the crashing cars are cool, but the flying bodies just… I don’t know. They look too freaky weird all crumpling up and stuff. Not sure I feel quite right about it. So, now I don’t know WTF I’m gonna get her! :S

I had my first therapy session yesterday. It was really good, as 1st sessions go. (They’re always a bit dry because you’re just beginning to scratch the surface and don’t have time to share a WHOLE lot.) I like this lady, and I think she and I will work well together. You know, it makes you feel good when, at the end of your first therapy session with someone, the psychologist says to you, “Well, you’re a very interesting and intelligent person. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better.” SHE LIKES ME! SHE REALLY LIKES ME! lol
Skip and I are officially separated now, too. He moved most of his stuff out this weekend, and we told Logan Sunday night. She’s handled it brilliantly; I’ve been quite pleased. Of course, it helps that he is still here in town, so she’ll still get to see him a good bit. Anyway, we’re going to each work on our own things and just see how things go. It’s funny, though. His new roommate… my ex-boyfriend. I can see them now, sitting around, smoking and comparing notes.
Today is Logan’s 11th birthday. We had dinner with the family last night for her birthday, and we were going to take her to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tonight, but it’s only playing Mon and Wed this week (stupid theater), so we’re going to go tomorrow night. I can’t WAIT! I want to see that movie so badly. I have to go and get Logan’s gift today. I think I’m going to get her Flat Out for the PS2 - if they have it here at Rhino.
Time to go do Yoga now.

I’m visiting my two best friends this weekend, and I’m typing this from Chelle’s Toshiba laptop. I love this keyboard. It’s awesome. Easy and clicky and just fun to type on. I love my meaningless blog entries.

LMAO! I loved it when she said that shit.
I’m really sleepy today for some reason, and I just finished my Venti Cappuccino from Starbucks (coffee whore). I had another cup of regular coffee before that this morning, and I’ve had part of a Diet Dr. Pepper. Still sleepy. This is not good. I have to drive back home today, and I hate driving when I’m sleepy. Maybe I’ll get over it.
We had a good dinner last night. We ate at Ted’s Montana Grill in Kennesaw last night, and I had the “Kitchen Sink” bison burger. Bison patty with ham, grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon, and a fried egg. Dude, it was good! I’d had bison meat before, so that was no big deal. It’s really good. I’d go eat there again. Next time, I’m going to get the pot roast and mashed potatoes. *YUM*

March in Atlanta - August 6, 2005
So, my daughter and I will be travelling up to ATL this weekend to visit my two bestestest friends in the world, and we’re thinking about maybe going to this. Not sure if I’d feel comfortable taking Logan with so many people being there. Don’t know. Anyway, I’ve never been to anything like this before. It might be cool!

Today seems to be shaping up to be *not* so good a day. I’m not sure why, but I just have this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Add to that the fact that I’m reeeeeeeeally sleepy for some reason this morning, and you get a nice helping of “blah.”

Today is the first day back to school for the local kiddies. My daughter is beginning 5th grade, and she’s very excited and happy to be returning to school. Yes, she’s a nerd. Yes, that means that one day she’ll make lots of money and support her Mom. 
I hope she has a good year and likes her teachers (as she always has) again this year. See, this isn’t bad… the scary thing to me is the fact that NEXT year, she’ll be going to middle school. *blink* *blink blink* *cry*
I feel so old.

I hate my phone company. I’m forced to use them because I live out in the boonies, and they’re the only choice for phone service. I get no broadband and a whopping 26.4 kbps dial-up connection on a good day. In addition, both yesterday morning and this morning, I awoke to find I had NO phone service at all. This meant no morning internet with my morning coffee. I was not pleased. *growl* I must say, though. I’m glad it was messed up this morning. If it hadn’t been, I probably would’ve gone online and then not done my Yoga. That Yoga was nice this morning, too. My thighs feel SO STRONG! *FLEXES*
In other & better news. I finally got an appointment with a Psychologist! YAY! I’m so happy. Yes, I’m a bit unusual in that I love therapy. I can’t help it; I just do. Most of those of you reading this now know enough about me to know what’s going on in my life, so this is something which is damn well needed at this point. Things are good for right now, though. Everyone involved in the situation is good with where things stand, and we’ll see how things go from here.
’sall cool

I love coffee. No, really… I LOVE coffee. I go to bed at night sometimes, impatient to hurry up and sleep, so I can wake up in the morning and have coffee. It’s gotten even better since I got my own bean grinder not too long ago. MMmmm… fresh coffee. I wish I had more money to buy the more fancified brands, but for now I just have to stick with Folgers Columbian. I’m blogging about coffee because, well, I’m drinking it right now. All the other things on my mind, I don’t want to blog about right now. Trying to go from negative to positive.
Saw something on the news this morning about a man who was just released from a 19-year prison sentence after DNA evidence proved him innocent. How bad would that suck? Convicted at 25, denied parole 4 times for not admitting your crime, then being exonerated and released at 44.

You know. It always seems when I’m most desperately in need of folks to talk to, no one is online! And I can’t call on the phone. *whines more*

I lost 6 lbs this week! o.O
For some reason, Firefox has kinda screwed up my little website icons. You know, the ones that show up in the url box for certain sites? Well, I have a link in my Bookmarks Toolbar Folder directly to my “write a post” for my blog page. It has Jake’s cowboy hat beside it as the icon. *blink* And at home, the Yahoo icon is beside a shortcut to another private website I visit. *blink blink*
WTF?
