Oh...good goddess. I can't decide if that would produce an incredibly awkward scene or hysterical laughter. And, what do you say to the newly divorced? Congratulations? Condolences? Best wishes? It’s a time of ending and new beginning, of sadness and happiness, of fear and expectation… Nothing seems really appropriate to say. Maybe just, my thoughts are with you. My the universe provide all the strength, love, and support you need.
dang gina if you would have held on another 1 year 1 month you really could have got him by drawing on his social security..!! But on the good side...loook how much weight you loss...(insert his weight right here_______)
ps everybody is gina when there is a dang in front.. southern slang babe' just southern slang ;-)
Condolences. Even if it's a wanted loss, it's a loss nonetheless.
LOLLLLLLL how perfect is that?!
I understand. I've been there before you. And, the only thing I can say is that sometimes you have to burn it down so the field is fertile once more for growing what you want.
I love your post today. It's fabulous.
