This morning I woke up and felt a lot better.
The good news is that Mr. A is going to manage the entire process of getting the table consulted upon and hopefully repaired. He is very contrite and I suppose I can forgive him. This mess also reopened negotiations about how long we are going to let his applications stand because I really don’t want to move. I used to be OK with moving, but now I am not. So he is going to think about it and we will open the discussion again later this week.
Another amazing thing happened. I ordered a skirt from Boden (the green one) for our family photos and it fit! It looks pretty good, I think. Maybe it doesn’t seem so amazing to those of you who can normally buy clothing off the rack and have it fit, but for me, it is like a miracle. I am short and kind of stocky, I tend to have a hard time finding skirts that don’t make me look like I am a husky, middle-aged hausfrau with huge calves. (I mean, seriously, trying to buy clothes for these pictures has made me come to terms with the fact that my ass is quite matronly. Sigh.) The skirt was way more expensive than I would normally pay, but the good news is I can also wear it to a wedding we have coming up a few weeks.
The most exciting thing of all also happened last night. I was contacted by an organization about volunteering to do some fundraising for a cause I really believe in. I spent last night researching the organization and the project and I feel really good about it. So all of you who were worried that I need more direction in my life, never fear! I will have a little something to do! It is perfect, because it uses my skills (fundraising) but will require no set hours or excessive time commitment from me.
So things are looking up today. Hooray!
Good luck with your decision making about moving. I’d really like to know what kind of fundraising you’re going to be working on!
The Boden skirt is lovely! I’ve almost ordered from them several times but the sizing scares me off.
Oh-I like that skirt! And good news on the fundraising-I was never worried, just think you have the passion and would want to return to it!
Good news on the maybe not moving. It sounds like a lot, not least the idea of taking a pay cut during recession. Oops, did I use that word?

That skirt looks awesome, great taste!!
Well, good thing Mr. A will take care of the table and that you’re reopening conversations about moving or not. The volunteering sounds like the very thing you need right now, doesn’t it?
Cute skirt. Love Boden. As for the table, I’m sorry your “I wonder when” happened so soon after purchase. You know, cars, nice furniture, newly painted woodwork. “I wonder when it’s going to get dinged”. It’s just better not to notice right away when it happens. Our dining table? WHO gouged it? Oy. My car? I’d love to know how the front light got cracked.
Good news on the volunteer front.
Carry on.
Awesome skirt!!!!!
