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

I have good news and bad news...

...the bad news is that the MRI showed something growing off of my spine and impinging on my spinal cord. They haven't a clue what it is yet but I'm sure further tests are in my immediate future. I had just gotten home from the doctor's office and before I had a chance to get too upset over that, I got the phone call that I've been waiting for for what seems like forever.

They called to say that I got the job that I was talking about last week. I couldn't be more pleased. It pays more than any job I've ever had and the hours are my own. Luckily, it isn't a physical job, it's one that will be total brain power and believe it or not, when I put my mind to it, I can be a pretty bright lady.

Well, now that I have a plan, I need to get to work on it.

I hope you guys are having a great day! Thanks to all who sent me prayers and crossed fingers...it did the trick!

Meg

Marie and Lori, if you guys see this, give your big sister a call so I can tell you all about it!

Meg, Congrats on the job, I know how much it means to you to make your own money and finally be able to do the things that you want to do. I also think it is great that Rick will still be paying your morgage hahahahahahahahahahaha. Just want you to know that you will be in all my prayers in the coming weeks, May God Bless you.

Thank you both! Nice to meet you CJ, comment anytime, I love to hear from you all!

Karin, you have no CLUE how much I appreciate making the money that I'll be making AND still using the alimony to pay over half of my bills...well, maybe you do!

I hope it's worth it to Rick...he got what he wanted and if it's worth over $1,100 a month to him, so be it! I can't tell you how much money we'd be bringing in right now had he had stayed...he might explode if he found out. But trust me...it will be substantial. Now, if my health can just stabilize, I'll be golden!

Thanks again and see you later!!!

Megster!!

First things first: I hope that everything turns out okay, healthwise. I'm crossing my fingers for you and saying a few prayers for you.

Now for the good news:

You have absolutely no idea how happy I personally am that you got that job! Oh man, oh man - can't wait till Rick finds out that he still has to pay you a good chunk of his cash every single month!

I wonder if he thinks that it was still worth it?? I mean, was the moron he gave you up for really worth it?? NO!!

hee hee hee hee hee!!
hee hee hee hee hee!!

Life is sooooo beautiful, isn't it - especially when Karma shits people up the ass!

Damn, now if only something as nice can happen to me - you know, something that will make my stbx husband feel like crap for leavin' me.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Thanks so much for the kind words, I am so absolutely thrilled about this job. I'll email you guys about it, if I mentioned the firm's name, my ex husband's nutty wife would call them immediately and tell them that I had something to do with the Chernobyl Incident or some such crap. I want to tell you guys so badly and I will in emails...but trust me...this is the best job I've ever had and I truly lucked out by getting it. I always made more money than Rick working a fraction of the time and suffice it to say, this job just exagerates that situation! He loved to leave me when I was too sick to work, both times he left when I had just been hospitalized, the last chance when I had been given a 50/50 shot at survival. Well, I DID survive and I doubt that he had that in mind when he agreed to pay me alimony. But I'm also sure that his lawyer said something like this..."When you desert your wife who has cancer and can't work or even get to the doctor's office for a trailer trash bimbo, you're better off avoiding the Southern judge and just agreeing to pay her."

And I promise, if such good stuff can happen to me when I least expect it, it can happen to anybody.

And Solaris, when a man leaves a lady for a bimbo, he will realize it sooner or later so just smile and enjoy yourself, he WILL be sorry.

And...Mack, thank you but trust me, after lsoing 80 pounds, I need to work out a bit to lose the Oprah arm thing I have going here.

And to think, Saturday morning I was at the bottom of that damned well!

I think I accidentally deleted Laureal's comment...so here it is:

There are a lot of Rude Dude's in this world and I am so glad I don't have to deal with their asses any more!

I finally have a chance to get caught up with my favorite blog-goddess. :)
Sounds like you've been having some sleep problems - I'm not sure what to tell you about that but just take care of yourself, whatever you do.

I thought I replied to your emails !?!?! I'm stumped now...I probably did something else wrong...I can design a powertrain but I can't figure out HTML to save my ass! How is the other project coming along? I have to check in on that, too! geez, I'm such a slacker! :)

Stay cool! (HA HA HA HA HA HA! aren't kids FUN!?)




Oh my word...kids...you know I love 'em! I was just messing with you, I was referring to the comments on your blog...I didn't know if you ever got them.

Thanks Laureal, I'm so happy today that I'm amazed at me. I was about to get into another funk thinking about facing another one of my numerous health problems when the phone rang. I've beaten two different types of cancer, both times after being given a 50/50 shot at survival so I can handle another tumor...PISHAW I say!

One happy Megster!

Thanks girl,

And I really really AM excited about this job!

You know what? This is the first BIG step toward being someone that Rick will TRULY be sorry for dumping.

Now that's tee hee-able.

Meg,

I'm sure Rick the Dick eventually realized what a terrific person he lost when he lost you...they all do, but the realization usually comes just a little too late.

Congrats on the job! I'll be keeping you in my prayers regarding the other...
