Theresa, love the sticker on your laptop. My cousin pointed one out to me a while ago that I fell in love with. This isn't a photo of my laptop, but this is what it looks like:

Theresa- where did you get the stickers for your laptop? I need some!
When is the PNW meet?

June 25. Beth put a link on the first page for info. I will also be booking Embassy Suites.

Found the best cure of a rainy afternoon- just got a hot stone massage!! Could not have been a more perfect day to have it!

Oh that sounds fabulous, always wanted a hot stone massage.

I'm so excited - got my new laptop and had to decorate it up a bit:

The laptop is so so so cute, love those stickers!

PNW Divas - I just found out the MouseMeet tickets will be $24.99, so that's price good. There will also be a M&G the night before at the Embassy Suites

Have any of you Diva's ever been? Looks like a lot of fun, and I am planning on it, just wondering what goes on and such!

That is super cute too! I might need to dress mine up a but!

I brought the alcohol Anyone for Rasberry vodka and 7up?

Never tried that, but it surely sounds yummy and very refreshing!


Welp, I am home from work, brought work home though, so I must plow through it. About 3 o'clock today my head and throat felt like they were on fire, now I can not breathe, so I think I am getting sick

It's been 5 years since I have had one of those! I am so jealous!

Hi ladies! I hope you all are having a great night! I am caught up on the thread. Took forever

Things have been really crazy here. I have been having problems lately with my fiance. Ever since I got full custody of Madelyn he has been extremely controlling and very verbally abusive. I haven't been happy at all. He's angry about everything. He's mad thar my ex and I are finally getting along. He wants to control my life and I am not willing to let that happen. Well, I ended things with him this weekend. I broke off our engagement. It has been something I have struggled with for awhile and have found myself praying over and over about. Thank goodness, this weekend we had an argument that really made me realize what I am getting myself into. He has been there for me as an emotional support for the entire year I spent fighting for custody of my daughter. But he's also very "walk on eggshells" type of person. You have to be careful what you say or it can send him reeling. He's has anger issues. I deserve more than that and so does my daughter. Anyways, I just felt I needed to tell you all since I have mentioned I was moving to California and will be close to a lot of you. I'm not sad or upset. I KNOW I did the right thing.

Hope I didn't dampen the mood.

Good for you! It is sad when a relationship ends but sometimes it is for the best and this sounds like it was the best thing for you & your daughter.

January - it takes a strong women to break off an abusive relationship. I am glad to hear that you are comfortable in your decision. You know the DisDivas have your back!!

Keep us posted on how you are going.

 

[mommaU4]

One of these days I will get Derrick to fool around with it. I'm guessing that this is basically the look everyone wants?


Jill, I am sooooooo looking forward to what you have to say about the Aulani. I plan on going there for my 35th anniversary in 2012. I'm hoping to rent points. BYW- Do you get a nice discount for being a CM?

Tomorrow Dave and I are taking my mom to my aunts funeral in So Cal. It was my mom's brother's wife. Probably spend the Friday night. So I will be MIA for the next couple of days.

Have a nice weekend and stay dry!

Hi Mel! I think everyone is really lovin' that Disneyland sign with a teal background. At least as a starting point. We don't have to stick with teal, although it's a nice bold color without being too bright, and it looks good on a wide variety of skin tones. Thanks to you and your DS for doing that.

Aw, what a nice place to go for your 35th anniversary!! So special. Ruben and I will celebrate 20 years in 2013 and I would love to to someplace special, just him and I.

I'm sorry about the loss of your family member.

Sounds perfect! I have never had a massage or a pedicure. I know..... I've led a deprived life. lol

BTW - any Divas interested in the PNW MouseMeet (and Diva mini-meet), they have a deal on the Embassy Suites. Angie, I booked a room

Thanks for passing along this info. And cute laptop!!

PNW Divas - I just found out the MouseMeet tickets will be $24.99, so that's price good. There will also be a M&G the night before at the Embassy Suites

Also good to know. Thanks. Maybe y'all do need a thread for the PNW meet?
Not that I mind keeping track here at all. Just a thought if more info is starting to appear now.

Theresa- where did you get the stickers for your laptop? I need some!

Me too! Oh wait, I need a laptop first.

 

[mommaU4]

Theresa, love the sticker on your laptop. My cousin pointed one out to me a while ago that I fell in love with. This isn't a photo of my laptop, but this is what it looks like:

Oooooh!! I love that!

Welp, I am home from work, brought work home though, so I must plow through it. About 3 o'clock today my head and throat felt like they were on fire, now I can not breathe, so I think I am getting sick

Oh no! Take some Airborne and/or EmergenC. Also the Zicam quick dissolve tabs work well. (Target has a generic brand that I use)

Aw, sweetie. I am so sorry to hear this. BUT rest assured you did the right thing. If he is like that now, nothing will change once you are married.
Verbal abuse is awful. Trust me, I've watched my sister-in-law live with it for the past 16 years now.
No one should have to live that way. And that's not the sort of example you want Maddie to see either. You are a young, beautiful, strong lady and you will find someone who will love you and Maddie, and treat you the way you deserve to be treated. I know it. Hang in there, my friend. Luv ya much!!

So sorry to hear about this January, you definitely did the right thing. At least you have a great group of friends to come and talk to whenever you need it.

Thanks girls!

I appreciate you having my back and trust me it feels good. I told my family and I was surprised to see how relieved they were. I guess they could see things that I wasn't able to see for myself. I feel sad that I hurt him by breaking things off, however, I feel like I have a huge weight off my shoulders. I guess I felt like I owed him something because of all he went through with me and helped me. He told me all the time how much he loved me and how beautiful I was (which I really never heard before) but then the next minute I'm a bleep and a bleeping bleep. I talked to my bishop at church and he actually had tears when I told him what was happening. I didn't realize how bad it was until I started telling my parents and my bishop. I should have said something sooner.


Sooo...is it February yet?

Well, at least you did it now before things escalated. The fact that you feel so relieved shows you did the absolute right thing.

 

[daisy_77]

Thank you Beth!

I appreciate everyone's kind words.



Jessica and Rochelle----I LOVE your laptops! I actually just bought a new one today. I'd love to find a pretty thingy to stick on it. You girls are so creative.


I have my annual first thing tomorrow morning ...and I have to get a blood draw. The worse part about it is the 12 hour fast. I want a snack but I can't lol so I am heading to bed.

Hope you all have a good night.

January: I am very VERY proud of you!

Can't wait to see you and give you a hug!

January, you definitely did the right thing! Especially considering Maddie. I was in a bad relationship a long time ago and I didn't really want to see it. It wasn't until it ended that I could look back and see everything my friends had seen and how bad it was.

I think February is a L-O-N-G ways off, but we can still hope!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I just want to pop in and tell January that she is one heck of a Diva, and I'm so happy that she was able to do what she had to to protect herself and Maddie.

Cute laptop skins! I want something cute like that!

 

[Queenbillabong]

Theresa- where did you get the stickers for your laptop? I need some! When is the PNW meet?

I got them on Etsy - very cute and they have different designs and colors. The PNW is June 25 (that's the date of the PNW MouseMeet).

Theresa, love the sticker on your laptop. My cousin pointed one out to me a while ago that I fell in love with. This isn't a photo of my laptop, but this is what it looks like:

I was looking at one like that too. There is also one with Snow White kind of goth - very cute.

Also good to know. Thanks. Maybe y'all do need a thread for the PNW meet?
Not that I mind keeping track here at all. Just a thought if more info is starting to appear now.

It might be a good idea. I personally don't have time to keep one up to date though, but if anyone else is interested???


January - good for you!! It's better to end things before you're married, when it would be a lot more difficult Are you still moving to California?

 

[DizNee Luver]

**hugs** January & good for you to realize that this relationship would not be healthy for you or your daughter!!! Verbal abuse can be more damaging than physical......so it takes a strong person to say they've had enough & move on. I had a horrendous relationship in high school that I'm still dealing with 30 yrs later. Know you made the right decision, stand tall, hug your daughter & walk forward....don't look back!! It's gonna be tough, but in the long run you'll be much happier!! Will be saying a prayer for you & your sweet daughter!!
