Livin' with Lifetime.

The first time I ever really talked to Theresa she was balling at her office. I had made a sales call on one of her brothers and she was having a meltdown in the next room. Ex-husband problems. I  knew her from our children's school but not personally.  I was sympathetic and I gave her my card and let her know that if she ever needed to talk that I had been through it too. She emailed me the next day and the rest is history as they say.
During our courtship I nicknamed her Lifetime....like the drama channel. Whenever you turn to it they are either fightin' or fu#$&*' on there. One or the other.....and the name stuck.

Theresa had no self-esteem at that time, cried at the drop of a hat, and generally let everything she couldn't control....control her.
 She is so different now in that aspect.....especially since the lap band and weight loss. She is much more self confident and in control of the situation. But I have noticed that various people in her life test this new person continually to see if it's just a facade she has put up or if it's the real new her. They always seem to be unhappy people, posers, and professional shit stirrer's that thrive on misery. I think God puts these people in front of us to keep us grounded and thankful for our own happiness. But sometimes, they can get to you. We have all been there. I think you have to just step off and avoid them.
So....be happy out there people....keep on keepin' on and follow the Golden Rule. I see a lot of great support and dialogue on here between bloggers. Frankly, it's refreshing....there are so many negative people out there.

Theresa has hit a new milestone and is now lighter than me by several pounds.....I wonder what it's going to be like being the "husky" balding husband married to the supermodel?

I think I'll call Billy Joel and ask him.....

I'm listening!
