Enjoy yourself!

I’m not bitter, but you got enough on your plate.

Hang in. It doesn’t sound like you spend much time now beating yourself up for past choices, so chances are that you won’t attack yourself in five years for however you end up coping with things now.

Nissans are fab-u-loso! have had 2. long life and few prob-o-lemos! i’d recommend highly.

(and put that smelly butt out and leave it out, blah!!)

Now here is the one and only piece of unsolicited ad/assvice I will ever offer.
First the details, everyone’s got a story, right? Dear friend of mine’s husband left w/3 other men in a small plane to do a quick trip to the Wake Forest-Clemson game in NC from VA this past Feb. Dear friend Amy barely kissed her young, cool, awesome husband Mike good-bye; it was like a 12-15 hour round-trip, game included, they were busy, she was running the kids (13 and 10) around, etc. You know where this is going. Plane crashed on landing back here in VA. No survivors. Very soon after the ceremonies and such Amy had the itch to somehow figure out or try to define her new life w/out Mike. She thought it would help her feel more “settled” or something. She said that the very best thing that happened to her was when a friend sat her down and made her promise not to do anything drastic for at least 6 months. She says it slowed down all of the great plans that she’d been mulling over, but that it really was for the best. She stopped over-thinking and just relaxed a little and kept going about the day-to-day. Of course, without Mike her day-to-day was a little different than before but she thinks that the lack of too many changes all at once actually grounded her and helped the kids get through it, too.

The new or new-er (craigslist?) car idea sounds like a good idea. So do the oranges and the sit-ups and a little grown-up time now and then. The phase of your life w/out BJ is happening every second. But take it light. Don’t overthink it.

The Jetta is a nice car. Only warning — you can get a good one or you can get a bad one. They tend to spend a little more time in the shop. With carmax, make sure it is not a “value max” car. No warranty — bad intrest rates. If it is a Honda or a Toyata and has 35,000 miles on it — it is still a baby. But what I am talking about???? You are a big boy and I am trying to hold your hand?! And guys holding hands . . .

I was thinking about this Wifi thing at an establishiment that serves beer. You know the stories about drunk phone calls to your ex? What if you had access to your company’s email and started dropping drunken emails? Man, that would suck. I think I would change my password before I went out. Or have a designanted Internet Buddy — “Alright now you are little tipsy — best give that lappy to me and let me drive.”
