Well, It is official - we are divorcing! I am moving this weekend to a nice little cape cod in our area. Couldn't find anything to buy right away so I decided to rent for now. Nice clean house with a two car garage and I can have my "girls" over when I want. Nice.
We just couldn't be together anymore - fought every day and annoyed each other to no end. Can't wait now for things to get settled - ready to finish this chapter and move on.

September 11, 2010
One of the best days of summer - I was in Newport staying at a Wyndham - decided to take the Block Island Ferry over to Block Island (that is redundant I know) - for a 15K race (running) that I had entered. It was a picture perfect day - sunny, breezy and about 75 degrees. Once on the boat - a little early was seated on the top deck next to two guys - Mark and Paul - we started chatting a little on the way over. Hit it off right away - and they asked when we disembarking what Ferry I would be taking back - 5:00? Yes. They would too. They were heading there for the first time, so asked me a little about the area. We talked about camping at Fisherman's Memorial State Park also. They were very interested in that --- great campground.
I went and ran my race - walked a few times - very hilly! I hate hills. LOL. They went to the Lighthouse at the South side of the island and walked around town - and had a picnic lunch they told me. After the race I walked around town - but not for long - didn't have much time before boarding. Once on board I looked for them and they looked for me -- we met and sat together again. Talked about our day -- and talked, and talked - it is an hour ride. They invited me to join them in Newport for dinner -- I was thrilled. Felt like a teenager out on a hot date. Ran back to my hotel - showered and dressed quickly - met them down on Bannister's Wharf.
We hugged -- greeted each other then walked a little to a place called the Landing. Had a wonderful dinner - bottle of wine - and talked, and laughed a lot. We exchanged emails and said we would all keep in touch. They were from Salem, Ma. - two of the nicest guys - intelligent, good looking, and fun to be with. I can totally understand their attraction to each other as I found them to be very attractive as well.
Back to the date - it was the Anniversary of Sept. 11 - which we talked about visiting Ground Zero - and our own experiences that day. It was a bit of a remembrance, and at the same time the day was one of the best - 2010 - for me. Thanks to my new friends.

Sailing Season coming to an end
Well - it is September and the boat has been sailed once so far this season. By me, alone. This was one of the best summers on record weatherwise - and since my husband and I are splitting up - maybe one of the worst for us. We only got up to the boat to put the sails on - then after deciding to split - he spent a week there - at the dock - and I spent a few weekends getting away up there. One of which - I took the boat out for a pumpout - waste - and then went for a sail. Beautiful - one of the best experiences of the summer for me.
Now that the weather is changing it will be more difficult to spend time there - but hope to get a few more weekends in before the sails come down and the boat comes out of the water. One of the few things that we have agreed to is that we will share ownership of the boat and dock for now - have to get something written up - it is valuable to both of us.

Sensitive
Was chatting with a friend this morning and the subject of AA and Alanon came up -- strangely -- I was very sensitive talking about it. Not sure why. I think maybe it is because it seems that I've been dealing with issues surrounding alcohol for so long that I'm feeling beaten by it at times. There was also some mention of the fact that I had a connection on her for a drink recipe of the day --- which I guess if you are recovering it is not the type of thing you would want to see on a blog.
In the meantime - I had a great swim this morning and planning on a walk on my lunch hour --- weather is finally improving. Spring is here!

Afternoons
I'm getting to be such an endorphine junky!!! I've been swimming this week mornings --- Mon., Wed., and got so high on getting things right that the rest of the day seems like such a let down. Then I either need to run or ride on my lunch hour or after work to get that kind of high again!
I guess now I understand what drives most of us to work out as much as we do. Today is a "boys lunch" day --- and I got a call around 3:00 that my SO was home and very sleepy. I can handle sleepy, it's grumpy and irritable when I get home that I can't handle. I spend most of the afternoon anticipating an argument when I get home --- today I'm planning a walk with the "girls" (puppies) as soon as I get home.
The weather today is 83 degrees and sunny --- yahoo!!

Try again
We r at it again.....or just continuing same argument? Talking thru the news...I'm supposed to b more interested. He's interested in what I do!
Dogs
Well, now things have "Gone to the dogs" so to speak. LOL. Last night on way home all I heard about was how bad things are with two dogs. Now, mind you, it was a Poker day --- so cleaned on Sunday and prepped (for him) and he slept in the morning yesterday --- only to rush around just before Poker was to start. Now, the dogs are to blame for a mess - tore into brand new bed spread --- and Marla barked all day.
I don't know what the solution is --- I do not really want to give her back to Homewardbound.....and by the time I got home after X-bike things were a little better. Attitude was a little better. I spent some time stitching the comforter.
Today --- when I checked in --- dogs had attacked comforter again --- guess it's better than furniture -- but I'm afraid that is next. Marla is obviously still a puppy --- and she is eating POO! We need to stop that -- vet gave us something for it after her last incident of opening a bottle of pills --- that was another story!
They are so cute and sweet --- I'm thinking obedience training --- and that means my giving up more time......and I am in training a lot for triathlon. I know that I will get a fight if I try to start obedience training for Marla -- but I think it is what needs to be done to settle her down.
We'll see.
