We had been married about a month and a half when the moon landing and walk happened.  I remember watching it with Keith.  I remember thinking it was cool we were on the moon but not wowed by it as others were.  I guess because I expected it.

Everyone else's reaction was the same, "good for you, he didn't deserve you"

It is a shame he couldn't do what was needed to keep you.

Not important, just fun, was my second date for the day.  My walking partner took me out to lunch for my birthday.  To my shock, half the women in our building were at the table to surprise me.  I even received gifts :)

Congrats, Jane!

Very true.  I hope it doesn't get worse for them after you leave.  Are others also job hunting?

And now, I'm off to rehearsal.  We'll be going through all the music tonight.  That will be very helpful. :)

Be back later.

The surprise was funny.  The hostess took us to the back room for our reserved seating.  It is mostly booths back there and one long table for large groups.

Of course I was expecting to be seated at a table and couldn't understand why she was taking us to the table.  Suddenly I realized "I know these people".  I am sure I looked rather stunned before I broke into a smile.

Um I wonder if someone gave him a clue that you were leaving. But seriously could he not see how over-worked you were?  How much you did for him?  Does he think that people should stay every night till 9pm for no extra pay?!?

I am not eating Oreos because they use Palm Oil even after saying they would stop.

I wish I could find palm oil. I like it in Brazilian food. And even the South American market seems to be out of it every time I go there.

You gave him the Christmas present that he deserves. Now you know for certain that you have made the right move. I wonder how many people it will take to replace you.

Vixmom, I wonder how he's going to behave for the time that you have left there. If he continues to behave like a petulant child or, worse, treats you poorly, leave early. You have suffered there long enough.
