Hi. I'm trying to think of another description to put here. Any ideas? I'll try again at 420.

This has been a long day already...

...I started out going to the Bartow County probation and when I got home from that, I had no electricity. I had to get the money and take it to the electric company (by taxicab) and then come home and read until the electricity came back on. It's on now and I've put down the book that I was reading. It was a stupid book anyway.

I had to get a ride to Cartersville for the probation thing so I called a friend of mine who works from 7 PM to 3 AM. He came to pick me up at 4 AM and then we went out for a while before the probation office opened. I went to take care of that and when my friend dropped me off, I walked into a dark house. If I had known, I would have paid it earlier. Damn, I have to open bills wheteher I have the money to pay them or not. I usually don't so I don't bother opening them, but I hate little surprises like a dark house so I might just start opening the mail now.

Luckily, I have an old rotary phone so I was able to use that while the power was off. That stupid phone has saved me a couple of times. I wish I had a gas stove too, then I could still cook. I prefer the older things that still work when you don't have certain utilities on. I think I'd like to live out in the boondocks where no one could come and mess up my entire day by turning off some utility that I don't have.

Progress, it's highly overrated...isn't it? It makes us all dependent upon things that we don't necessarily have any control over. I kind of like having the power off, it's much more quiet and you don't waste time watching television. One winter during an ice storm, we all sat on the couch watching this tiny, 2 inch screen TV that I had bought my son for Christmas. I cooked food on the little gas heater and read by candlelight.

When I went to Europe the last time I looked in amazement at the bulidings that they built hundreds of years ago that are still standing like The Parliament Building in London and Notre Dame in Paris. When we got home and that ice storm hit, I realized that they were able to build those things because they didn't have television around to waste their time. If I had it to do over again, I would raise my kids without TV.

OK, I'm about to get myself a boyfriend. He's helped me out quite a bit and he isn't even trying to get in my pants. I may have to take the aggressive tact myself if he doesn't do anything soon. But that's OK, I don't mind.

Rick used to bitch that I wasn't assertive enough in bed but he never made me feel very wanted so I didn't because I didn't want to be rejected. If he would have treated me in some sort of romantic way, I would have felt more like initiating sex. So, while he was out making other women feel good about themselves, I was left here to feel pretty much useless. No woman will go after a man who doesn't make them feel like a woman. And the worst thing that you can do if you want a wife who initiates sex is cheat on her or leave her sitting alone at home worrying that she isn't good enough.

Most of the time, women, as well as men, will live up to what you expect of them. If you treat them like dirt, you probably won't get too far with them. If Rick would have taken all of his time and spent it on me instead of other women, he would have had what he said he wanted. If he would have brought flowers home once in a while or even just taken me out more than once every other year, I would have felt more like coming on to him.

When he started his last affair, I could tell because of how often he brushed his teeth. That daily toothbrushing of his was certainly something new. It's pretty bad when your wife knows something's up because of your oral hygeine. I bet he even wiped his ass really well. I stopped paying much attention to his ass wiping while I was sick. It made me sicker to think about it. I don't know why he bothered, if the wench didn't mind a married man, I doubt that she would have minded his filthy ass.

Oh well, it's been such a long time that I don't really mind anymore. Especially when I have people treating me better than he ever did. He really did do me a favor by leaving. It took a while for me to realize that but I've figured it out now. I'm going to go and make something to eat now. I think I'll have a bunch of strawberries and bananas. That's another thing that I like now, I can eat whatever I want to eat. I don't have to have a pound of meat with every meal and if I want something with onions in it, I can make it without worrying about some whiny ass man bitching that the onions are giving him heartburn. I hope all of that meat he made me cook him is clogging his arteries and raising his blood pressure.

See ya!

Meg
