Family Forum / Parenting / Step Parents / June 2008How 'Bout Some GOOD News for a Change?
Posted this in ASM as well, so my apologies to anyone reading it twice. Got my house on the farm rented. Rented a house near work. Have a date this weekend with someone who thinks I'm worth driving 2 hours to spend time with and to get to know better - someone who DOESN'T need rescuing. (38, single, no kids, steady job that he loves, no problem having to pass YS and my mechanic's inspections before he can date me, etc) Kitten In a previous article, Caitriona Mac Fhiodhbhuidhe <st_brigids_gate_farm@yahoo.com> said: >Posted this in ASM as well, so my apologies to anyone reading it >twice.

Flowers are wonderful; I have a garden that's making my heart glad too. But I have a little potted kalanchoe, and darned if I can make it bloom. It's beautifully healthy, growing branches and leaves, but no blossoms. :-( What did you do to make yours bloom? Vicki Signature"We move toward a lofty ideal.

It was blooming when I bought it. I was surprised when it started blooming again. I keep it on the window sill, which is south-facing. And I water it with ferti-lome added to the water. Other than that, I just turn the pot a couple times a week. Kitten > In a previous article, Caitriona Mac Fhiodhbhuidhe <st_brigids_gate_farm@yahoo.com> said: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Vicki I think lots and lots and lots of sun. Mine always got leggy and rarely bloomed when in the house. The ones I bought and have sitting outside with 5 or more hours a day of full sun haven't stopped blooming since I bought them 6 months ago. Tracey Whoooo and hoooo! Way to go Kitten! Have a wonderful time on your date!

A year and a half was spent trying to get THEM to work with me to fix things. Didn't work. So I'll just fix myself on my own, and they can do whatever they will - on their own time and in their own space. The important thing is, I get to be ME again, without worrying about what kind of mood THEY are in. <big goofy smile> Kitten > In a previous article, Caitriona Mac Fhiodhbhuidhe <st_brigids_gate_f...@yahoo.com> said: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Chewy and his kids.

I really am finding that entire exchange in ASM quite hillarious, so much so that I had to explain to one of my office-mates why I'm laughing so much. There was a bit of a set-back last night with the house in town that I'd signed lease paperwork on. Apparently, my friend's son sold the house, without my friend knowing the son had the right to sell the place. However, I decided to leave it all in God's hands. And this morning, there was a good sign when I stepped outside the door. There was a strange, young black cat sitting there, as if she was waiting for me. She demanded attention, actually not allowing me to leave for a bit. :-) Leaves me wondering what's in store.

Well, AY is a prat. Has to have the last word. It's kind of funny to watch you goading him/her. >There was a bit of a set-back last night with the house in town that >I'd signed lease paperwork on.

Nothing like parent-child communication. >However, I decided to leave it all in God's hands. And this morning, >there was a good sign when I stepped outside the door.

There are still scrapes, bumps, and bruises along the way to recovery from where I've been. But I'm climbing my way OUT of that hole - and I'm determined not to ever go back down that pit again. :-) Kitten >> Posted this in ASM as well, so my apologies to anyone reading it >> twice.

He's sweet, affectionate, *wanted* us to spend part of our time with my best friend (who's been down due to falling off an 8' ladder and tearing her ACL) and Viking (YS), beat my butt twice at pool then shrugged it off as luck, likes my attitude, is a protective type guy, dealt well with us bumping into the guy I'd been dating right after Chewy left me, and is planning to come back next weekend if his work schedule goes OK.

Excellent! Just relax and enjoy it. And if something goes wrong, don't try to fix it, just let it go. There are many fish in the sea! Vicki Signature"We move toward a lofty ideal.

Still at the farm. I've got 2 weeks to find me a place and get moved in. lol...

The Viking has given me a very strict rule and is expecting me to follow it - no getting serious about anyone until I've known them at least 2 years. Not that I'm any good at following orders or anything. LOL Kitten |
