Holy Halloween Candy! I didn't realize how long it has been since I signed into this page. For those of you who do not know, I have separated from Frank as of January 2008. Yep, 14 years together, married 13 years, and it's all down the crapper.

At first I was pretty devastated. I've had a lot of time to think and figure out what happened and why. And to tell ya the truth, I'm a lot happier now. A part of me will always care for Frank, but it is over. There are times I still miss him. But I'm finding myself. I never had the opportunity to be my own person, not with Frank or before him. Now I am discovering that I am a very happy, creative, passionate person. And I'm nowhere near as anal retentive as I use to be.

I'm writing. I have two stories I'm submitting for an anthology. I'm also working on a novella. I have some new friends and I love them all dearly. They help me stay on track. Oh, I'm also writing a weekly soap opera spoof of my chat group that gets posted on the group forum. It's a blast! And on top of all of this I'm working at the Blimpies in Forest City, for Brian. Frank walked away from me and Brian, but I'm still chugging along. Brian has turned out to be one of best friends. He and Dawn are the greatest.

I'll try to get back here sooner next time. Later....

Hey Howdy!  I just got back from visiting Frank in the new store he is running in Murphy, NC.  I'm very tired but I had a good time.  I've almost finished the first draft of my short story.  I'm debating on cleaning house or writing at the moment.  And of course, the dogs and birds have missed me so much.  I hope everyone had a happy Valentine's Day.  St.Patrick's Day is  next and the Spring Equinox is not long after.  See you later.

I hope everyone has a geat weekend.  Can't believe the SuperBowl is here already.  The last few months have really flown by.  Go Steelers!!!!!
