This Thursday, the 24th, will mark not only my birthday but one year since Barry and I broke up and he tossed me out of his house. What a year!!!!! It has been an eye opener and probably one of the best years I have ever had. I have been on three vacations this year compared to none over the past 5 years. The most memorable one was my recent trip to Chicago to visit Bettie. I had the bestest time EVER. I think I ate my way through Chicago, lol. Went to a fabulous play and met Bettie’s two wonderful kitties (one bit me, but we’ll overlook that). Seems the only time I really enjoy shopping is when I am with Bettie and I tend to buy way too much, but then again, I’m worth it. My relationship with Bill is solid and growing every day. Apparently Barry is on his 4th or 5th girlfriend and all I feel is pity, for him and for her. Time now to get ready for work, I have an exam today and have been stressing over it but it will soon be over and I remember stressing over this in the past and everything worked out just fine, as I’m sure it will this time. Luv to all, Deb
