I am sick.� I have a bad cold with a fever.� I’m not dying, I just feel like I am.� So, for one of the first times in my blogging history, I’m going to be brief.
GOOD NEWS
Tristan over at Blah, Blah, Blahg is having a month of giveaways!� That’s right: for the entire month of February she will give away something fabulous.� Her only request?� Leave an email so she can reach you, and answer the artist question of they day.
BAD NEWS
Just before starting their latest round of fertility treatments, Kara’s husband said, “Hey, you know what?� I kind of don’t want to be married anymore and I am filing for divorce on Monday.”� Thanks, good to know, a$$-wipe!� I spent Saturday with her girlfriends moving out as much as we could from her house.� It’s never fun to watch someone you have known since kindergarten so sad.� I suggest we all send “the ex” vibes for an oozing facial rash.
News In Between
Today the Mister’s manager called (he was also laid off).� Apparently another manager in another district within the same company but who wasn’t laid off wants the Mister to post for a job that is now open following the blood bath/lay offs.� Um, okay.� Couldn’t you have transferred him into the spot in the first place and called it good?� Now we have to go through the stressful interview process with thousands of other scared employees and hope for the best.� The Mister was tempted to tell them to pound sand when he first got the call, but after reflecting honestly on the volatile condition of the job market, now plans to eat crow and post for the spot.� It’s amazing how something can be simultaneously an insult and a blessing.
So that’s it.� Fevers, gifts, divorces, and jobs.� Just another Monday around here.� How about you?
Please give your friend a HUGE hug for me. I don’t know her but what an *&^@*&@^hole. Yea there were a lot of s’s there. I mean a REALLY BIG hug for me.
And you too. Give yourself a hug for me too. I have looked at your blog for a while. I usually don’t comment because of time… have a little one that wants all of my time – if she hears me typing she really needs my attention then. SO… sorry for all that you are going through too. I wish the hubbs all of the luck in the world in the interview.
You guys are all in my prayers. Sending some virtual love your way!
Thanks Mrs. Doodle! I know exactly what you mean about commenting. I try to comment on blogs I read (because I know how much I appreciate them) but with little ones it can be hard! :)
I haven’t heard the word a**wipe in years, seeing it again was fun. Do I need to make an “ex” voo-doo doll that can target his private parts every time he sneezes or thinks of another woman? [evil laugh]. J
Can’t wait to hear about the husband’s progress. Wow, he must have quite the reputation if he’s being summoned by others far far away.
Love all of your descriptions in this post. You always make me laugh. I realize that’s an incredibly selfish thing to say considering the topics in this post, but you are very funny.

Oh Jules…I hope The Mister gets the job…even though it means eating crow. :( You are right though, these days, a job is a job, right?
Kara’s husband is what you said…and more. What a jerk. For better or worse (yeah, he’s covered worse now)…I hope she can move on and find happiness…And that he…doesn’t. Is that ugly?
Well, what happened to Kara puts things into perspective, doesn’t it? You can get through a lot when you have a loving and committed partner.

Kara-I am soooo sorry hun. All I can say is at least it happened before you had kids together. I can’t believe this is happening to you and am so glad you have friends around for support! You have many friends here as well, we love you and wish you the best!!
Jules-Oh no! Fevers suck, zap the energy right from you. I hope it doesn’t last! As for the Mr’s job, I really hope he either gets it or gets something even better and then if they offer it to him he can tell them where to go :)

Oh my! What a beginning to your week. I’m hoping the Mister’s crow is palatable and served with a SECRET internal side of kiss-my-ass.
I will be sending “the ex” vibes for more than an oozing facial rash. I’m so sorry for your friend.
I hope that you are feeling better soon and that the Mister’s interviews go well. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh no poor poor Kara! I am so sorry sweetie! You deserve so so much better! ((hugs))
Jules Im sorry about the fever and about the Mr.’s job. I will cross my fingers that the interview process is quick and painless and that he gets the position! ((hugs))
Jules thank you! I love when I am associated with Good news! I hope that good news extends to the Mister as well:) I send Kara hugs, it’s hard to have your heart stomped on but I am a believer that when one door closes…Maybe her next husband will have babies? I heard Ricky Martin just adopted twins and those babies don’t have a mama. A sign? Feel better my dear…
J- You are the best friend I could ever dream of/wish for/beg God endlessly, you are a keeper and the word Thank you seems so small for the large amount of love you have given me during our friendship – not just the past three days of hell on earth.
A message to the commenters: I know it’s J’s comment love but I so totally appreciate the responses and please feel free to A) make voodoo dolls B)Wish for facial rashes or ailments on other body parts and C) believe in Karma – because Sister Karma can be a real bitch sometimes and she’ll make you pay dearly. Here’s hoping I have paid off whatever Karmic debt I owed and looking forward to see how the universe will respond to his actions.
Peace- K
