    Things About Me.

    I can eat nine tacos but only if they have ground beef, hard shells, iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream...I have a morbid fear of catapillers, also of spelling the word catapillers...I hate it when you're out to eat with, like, one person and the waitron stands there with your food and is all 'Ummmm, you had the.......' There are only two of us! Keep it straight! I get the tacos!**...I am galled that there are giant muffins as big as my head for sale but you can only get crullers in mini-size instead of the gigantor tractor tires that I like...When I am feeling good, I talk to myself and make silly jokes and crack myself up. I did that today...I can't sleep with the insides of my knees touching. Eeww! Help!...I had tacos for lunch...Once I let my baby crawl off my bed because I was busy curling my eyelashes....I will eat just about any kind of food if it's good. Street vendor hot dogs with mustard and sauerkraut. Snails. A ham sandwich. Wendy's. Sweetbreads. But it really upsets me to eat bad food. Sometimes I go into hypoglycemic spaz because I need to eat but refuse to take the crap that is offered, like a piece of cheese that is hardened and refrigeratery tasting. That makes me angry...I won't make ice...My yoga teacher said that not many people can get away with pigtails but I can.

    My husband and I have decided to separate.




    ** Yes I have been a waitress. It's hard work. But come on! Two people! Two plates!

    I know this was coming, but still ... Actually, I'm facinated by your food habits, but I also feel a certain level of sadness that things are really done with your marriage. You mention it in an almost off-hand manner, but I know that it wasn't an easy decision. I don't know if it's coincidence or not but it seems as though while you were stripping off your clothes, you were also stripping off a lot of the things that obscure your ability to see and think about yourself. Now, as you lie there naked and exposed, you've arrived at an important decision. I hope that things work out the way you want, and that your plate is always full of the good food.

    trying to sneak that in there won't work, I saw it! :)

    well, we share many of the same food habits and now we share something else as well. if you need to talk let me know, as always. this is a big step and I know you know that, how big is the question. sending you lots of thoughts, prayers and strength.

    Sorry -- and happy -- you are separating. I'm assuming it was a semi-adult decision between you two. Better than your packing and leaving with no notice and in a rage.

    I hope it all works out for the best for you.

    I have been following your trials and tribulations for some time now. While I am saddened to hear of any relationship ending, I am not so naive that I can't understand why it would happen over time. People grow apart whether we like it or not.

    Best of luck to you.

    Wry,
    Wow. Smart, beautiful and brave. I wish you happiness. Not just because you are the total package.
    I admire your lust for life, and your determination to get it right. Even after enjoying all of your recent photographs, my favorite is still "chocolate chip pancake." I wish you luck on this new journey.

    I feel like this is the real climax to your striptease. Now you stand there naked. I hope you can hear the applause.

    Recipe for ice:

    water (tap or bottled--not carbonated)
    ice tray

    Pour water into tray so that it is level with the top.
    Reduce heat below 32ยบ Fahrenheit.
    Wait 2 hours.
    To remove ice, twist tray along its lengthwise axis so that the cubes break loose.
    Serve with cocktails, soda, or fruit beverage.

    M.K.

    Hey DPQ...I'm pretty sure this day will be in my future too. I can't imagine what it finally feels like to pull the trigger on a decision like that.

    I admire you for your strength to do what's right for you.

    Oh...and sauerkraut??? BLECH!

    your hnt'S are beautiful. about you and the Mr, remain open to change, sometimes the separation brings you together and that is good and sometimes it makes it easier to end which can also be good. dont let yourself get too down though... you are young and beautiful and deserve to be happy

    I have no words of wisdom - but I think this is going to be very good for you.

    Being separated can be really good. I was so happy while separated that I tried to make the marriage work, again. It didn't work, but I remembered how happy I had been. Hope all works out for you.

    someone somewhere said that to have a beginning you have to have an end.

    something had to give, huh? I admire your decision, it is a hard one to make. my wife and I separated for 6 months - 10 years ago. We were able to work things out. Not that you will or won't, but just to say anything could happen.

    Take care of yourself. I hope that the healing can begin and that you find happiness where ever this takes you.

    Slowly making my way through your blog. Funny...you separated (or announced your separation to us) exactly 6 years after my ex-wife and I got married.

    I want to jump ahead and see how you're doing now, but I won't. Separation/divorce is a very difficult process to go through. Mine was relatively amicable and still very difficult.

    In my case, it was for the best...the best decision for myself...and yes...for my (now 5 1/2 year old) daughter...she was almost 4 when we separated.

    I sense that how your son reacts to this is one of your biggest concerns. All I can say is to always talk with respect about his father when you are around your son. Do not allow your guilt to influence the way you discipline your son. He will, if he hasn't already, mis-behave and blame it on your separation/divorce. Do not allow him to do this. Apologize for how your decision is impacting him, let him know it's not his fault and that you and his father both, do now and will always, love him.

    My daughter is now happy and well adjusted. She knows she is loved. Make sure your son knows he is loved!
