I had a lightbulb moment today while reading this entry on Sarah's blog. After reading that, I felt a little uplifted.
I'm convinced that we'll come out of this stronger. We're still us. We still laugh all the time together, which I love.
Today, Steph went in town to trade in a game and buy a new game at EB Games. On his way back he called to say that he had just picked up some creme brulees and eclairs at Croissant Soleil, and Tims Coffees. 5 minutes later he calls me back, all excited, because he found out that the lady at the bakery in the busy bee strip mall sells home made chicken fricot!! My favorite thing in this world! She was out, but she will have a fresh batch Tuesday. Yum!! But he did buy a home made chicken & vegetables meat pie from her.
See the problem ?
"Poulet et légumes" vs "Chicken and vegetable".
In English, there is only one vegetable, in french, multiple vegetables!
I pointed this out to hubby, miffed. (You know my appreciation for grammar..)
He looks at me and shrugs " Just eat it in french"!
Then we laughed our asses off and pretended to eat meat pie while laughing a la French Simpson style "Honh Honh Honh, meatpie!"
In completely unrelated other news, here is the wig I was going to wear for my Smurfette Halloween costume... but I think we're going to be Shrek & Fiona instead.(Warning : No make up, feeling sick day. Look at your own risk.)
Hugs, Nancy. I am sorry to read you are at a rough patch.
I want to tell you, however, as someone who is twice divorced. While working through a rough patch IS hard work - healing after a divorce is much, much, much, much, much (ya catchin' my drift?) more difficult. And when you do heal - you don't have your spouse there with you to celebrate. From my point of view, it's totally and completely worth the work. Do it.
I LOVE the wig! I think it's AWESOME! What a fun costume that will be.
aw! That wig is way better than mine! Maybe I should check Wal Mart
It's truly an amazing book...I think *any* couple can benefit from it, regardless of where they're at in their relationship. I heard the story about a couple who had the divorce papers filed and attended the conference...and pulled the divorce papers and are incredibly happy now. Of course, it's no magic cure or anything, there is A LOT of hard work to put in, but that just goes to show how powerful this stuff is, if you give it a chance :)
And I love the wig--I think it's super duper cute on you!
