You're living like a real model--no sleep!

I think I'm going out to birthday gift shop this weekend; if I come across anything cool I'll give you a heads up. Firefinch...always a good option. I think I'm going to go there to look for something for Candi.

You can make it through the week and weekend, friend :). Then you can come over for wine and we'll dish and make ourselves really sleepy on melatonin. Take that, insomnia!

I know this is a post from a month ago, but I just discovered your blog as I was Googling myself. (And was pleasantly surprised to find my name in one of your entries!!)

Anyway, I just wanted to say that my parents divorced about 8 or 9 years ago when I was already married and out of their house. My initial response was "It's about time." Both of them had been so unhappy for so many years that I was actually relieved to know that they were doing something about it. It was extremely difficult on my mother, who had been a stay-at-home mom for, well, all my life. She was in the Navy for a brief time, but other than that, had no real work experience. So she was terrified. But my dad has since remarried and seems happy. Mom is dating a very sweet man and has a semi-decent job. So, I'd say they're happy in their own way. At the very least, they certainly aren't as miserable as they were when they were together.

My point in all this is to let you know you're not weird for being happy or relieved or simply for not being upset about it. You clearly see the potential in your parents that I saw in mine to have good lives -- separately.
