This morning my rep came over and I signed the contracts for my new copier, to arrive within the next couple of days.  While she was here, she was in the control panel of my current copier taking a look at the IP address.  Ever since, nothing works!  No faxes, scans, and printing is on and off the network.  I am reallllllllly frustrated because all morning I have been working on this stupid thing.  I don’t want to place a service call for a machine that may be leaving as early as tomorrow!  But I need the scanning feature at the very least, and my faxes!  I think it’s feelings are hurt that it is being replaced! ;-)

Weekend recap: I will try not to write a book here.  Friday night took the kids down on the train, had my traditional sushi on the ride home.  Bought some Easter stuff at Target for the kids, then went to the $2 movies to see Revolutionary Road.  I am still not sure what to think about it, to be honest.  I would like to read the book.  Saturday morning, up and out to Albany.  SBFF and I walked about two hours on these wonderful trails, then we had salads at Paneras (my most favorite salad - the Orchard Harvest - which will be leaving us soon since it is seasonal, sniff sniff!).  Then we went up to Saratoga to stroll the village there and look in the little boutiques.  We had a wonderful time!  I am SO proud of SBFF, I hope she continues this path she is on.  She was just so much happier than she has been in such a long time.

Saturday night I did end up hanging with Match guy.  I decided just to mention getting together.   Thanks so much for all the advice.  Mel, it was too late for your advice - but I thought it was fantastic!  And everyone who brought up the fact that I was even questioning this … I thought of that myself.  The end result: we spent a couple hours in his studio (he is a composer) and he played the piano for me (breathtaking!) and showed me his work … the million buttons, etc.  Was very cool.  We had a good time, but I feel like this is headed into the “friend zone”.  I think he is an attractive man, but I don’t have any butterflies or passionate feelings about him, lol.  Which is fine, because I really do think he is a great guy to hang out with and a good friend to have.  We have lots of deep conversations which I would miss if we weren’t friends at all.  And that is that, so we shall see.  Kids are home the next two weekends, so there won’t be any dating going on in my very immediate future anyway.

Sunday was the usual cleaning, shopping, laundry, etc.  Made a large pot of homemade sauce, froze half.  Productive day. 

Oh … so a side note on why I would like to kill my XH.  As soon as I meet him to pick up the kids and drive away, DD6 is crying.  She wishes she could see daddy more, etc.  Breaks my heart.  But then DS6 says, “But Gabby, remember what Daddy said?” and I asked what that was … and he replies, “Daddy said that next time, he is moving into our house.”  WHAT!??!?!?!?!? Soooo I remained calm, chuckled, asked to hear that again … and he explains that Daddy said that next time they come to visit, Daddy will be moving into our house.  DD6 agrees and tells me that is what he said.  (Now, the twins were 15 mos old when he cheated and we split up, so they don’t recall him ever living there)

Wow … so what a coincidence being that on Friday I JUST finally told him that R and I broke up, huh?  We have been apart since Summer 2004!  Divorced since 2005!  And there is no, no, NO way in hell we would ever be reconciling!

But how could he be such an idiot - so stupid to SAY THAT to our children!  I mean really, WHAT is wrong with him?!?!?  He is seriously deranged. 

Okay, copier guy is on his way over so I better just publish … food today will be on plan, will do Firm DVD tonight.  Will be back to comment.

Love you all!
