here’s my new house-in-progress.
I was up there today and they had put in insulation and had started sheetrocking. wow. that’s fast. the guys also showed up to start shingling the roof. wow.
one hill over (behind the house in the photo) BEEEEEEEEEG machines were moving earth for a new subdivision. when I say big, I’m not sure you really understand. I have NEVER seen trucks that big. think: would dwarf a semi. it was fucking COOL. I’d have stayed way longer but bjane was about to wet herself, dammit.
yesterday I picked out light fixtures and stuff. the day before was floor coverings and counter laminate. I’ve stopped daydreaming about potential lovers and started salivating over paint chips, which I’m sure is far healthier.
I also talked with my attorney yesterday. it’s pretty apparent that yes, I am going to get screwed. I need to get over it and move on. I’m applying for a job that will start in two weeks. it’ll be semi-workfromhome. I need to get on with my life. if the fucker won’t just go ahead and die, the best I can manage is to make sure I don’t ever need anything from him.
l’chaim.

I like the looks of that house. It doesn’t look HUGE and it doesn’t look pokey. It’s got gardening potentioal, too.
dude, this is sooo exciting
po-ten-shul.
your houseinprogress looks so friendly. and you can see mountains from where it is! that’s way cool.
and I spent at least four months of my life salivating over paint chips, in order to pick the perfect shade of blue.
You need not to get screwed. Get an attorney you can trust. You have to set a baseline. GREAT house!
Nostrovya.
Mountains in the background? Sight for sore eyes… I’ve only lived in the flatlands.
Well your attitude is just great. And the house . . . damn. I’ll probably never have one built. Lookin’ good!
the house has potential.
Lovely house lara. You will be just fine in time. I think in a shorter amount of time than you think. One day you will wake up and think.. Damn, I am ok, I am good, I am wonderful.
I think you know this already.. You are one very lucky person.
party at your house!
cheers!
Somehow it makes me smile that smile, the one I’m never sure of its origins but you know that smile of which I speak, when I read that you got so jazzed about beeeeeg machines. And no, I’ve not clue one as to where that thought was heading and I doubt if Freud would either. *wink*
So…drooling over paintchips eh? Hmm…I’m putting my bet on the once dreamt of potential lovers are gonna be sad…I know I would be…but yeah, paint these days is most likely the healthier of the two passtimes.
Jobs…gotta love ‘em & hate ‘em at the same time. But you’re right…no need depending on Mister Asshat. Which, if you can have your attourning work into a court document…would be PRICELESS!
Lotsa love to you Lara girl,
Timothy
And by ‘attourning’ I meant to say, ‘attourning’
ya know…just so there’s no misunderstanding. *grin*
Damn. Remind me to never get married.
I can’t believe you’re not going to fight him every step of the way.. I know you just need to move on, but wow.. you’re a much stronger person than I am. I’d have found myself the least ethical divorce lawyer going by now and firmly removed the gloves.
The house looks fantastic!! I am so jealous ~ our cheapskate landlord is such a tight ass that even though last night’s was the seventh radiator to blow in a year, (and second in just over a month) he is still refusing to replace all of them. Swine. It’d be okay if we had a hot plumber, but no such luck
*HUGS* and love to you
Oh yes, and would you shit me up a bag of kumquats, please?
get a new lawyer that will screw him
I don’t want you to get screwed, at least not by stbx.
God, I hate him.
Great house…you’re actually better off than some, if anything happened and Danny and I split, I wouldn’t even be able to pay my apartmen’s rent…
And hey, fantasy lovers are the bset kind, when you’re done with them, they go away.
50,000props for your great attitude and
((((((((MASSIVE HUGS!))))))) When’re you having a house party?
-M
Great house – don’t give up entirely on sex, yet. Sometimes we do have to move on, even if we’ve been badly screwed.
Awesome!! You rock my socks!!
AHHHH SMELL THE FREEDOM.. way to go woman
I think you’re right. When paint flakes out on you it’s not as difficult.
You have so much more strength than I or many would have in your place. Damn that prick pisses me off!!
That looks like a great place, and with a view! The best revenge is to live happy and healthy you know.
