Ok, so........we need details of the trip girlfriend!!

[MsMelancoly]

We probably won't be able to handle those details!!!!

Okay, so still fighting with my internet at home. It's causing severe interference with my online life. LOL.

Basic rundown.

R went with me for the first 10 days. Stayed in Dublin 2 days, then rented a car and did a loop down the east coast, across to Cork, up to the west to Galway, then back to Dublin. We saw castles, caves, the Cliffs of Moher, and plenty of pubs. It was gorgeous and we not only didn't kill each other, we got along pretty darn well lol. We both hit points where we wanted a little personal space, which is hard to get when you have one small hotel room and one sub-compact car and only 1 key to each. R flew home and I started my bus tour. I missed him a ton. I definitely got used to having him around.

Did a 3 day loop of Ireland, back to Dublin for St Patty's Day, then a 3 day loop of Northern Ireland. St Patty's Day was awesome. They had a great parade and I spent the rest of the day hanging out mostly at a pub that had live music and dancing going. On the bus I saw a lot more castles, made a couple good friends, and met some people I'd be happy to never see again. Slept in huge dorm room hostels with 11 to 15 other people, attempted to sleep might be a better description of some nights.

It was definitely an amazing trip. Well worth all the time and money. I think am finally back on a normal schedule.

Worked Thursday at my retail job. I should be back at my full-time internship starting Wednesday.

I haven't heard from STBXH. He was supposed to be filing the papers while I was gone. We also need to finish the taxes. I probably should shoot him an e-mail and see what's up.

I started posting pics on my normal FB account. I'll add them to my secret identity one shortly

Oh yeah, some of those hotels had some nice big bathtubs.

Hey Michelle, Sounds like a wonderful vacation!!! Good to hear that you & R are still alive!! I bet it was trying at times, one does get used to personal space - that's for sure. Back to reality now - huh. Yet, it always feels good to get home. We all missed you!

[mishka422]

Sounds AWESOME! I've always dreamed of going to Ireland and Scotland and tracing some of my family roots. I will look up the pics in the alt.

Welcome back!

[MichelleLT]

Well I logged onto FB today to update more pics and ended up signing right off.

STBXH and the SBW / TAP got back together. Ugh.

I guess him saying "that" was a period of his life he'd rather forget didn't last. Shock surprise.

Somehow it still disgusts me. I thought he was actually taking care of himself for a while there.

At any rate, yes, it was a great trip. I am glad to be home though. I am thoroughly enjoying having a kitchen again. Made tacos the other night, french toast for breakfast a couple days ago, and brownies.

Internet is still being a pain.

I WILL catch up with you all at some point when I have reliable internet and time to read. Promise!

(((everyone)))

Hi Michelle!!!
Welcome back! I like the part about you and R getting along well. I saw some pictures of him and I really like him. He seems smart and charming...(I describe ONLY the parts I can see).

Your trip sounded great!!

I haven't heard from STBXH. He was supposed to be filing the papers while I was gone. We also need to finish the taxes. I probably should shoot him.

Fixed that paragraph for you....

Sounds like you had quite a trip! I am jealous of both of you!

[mishka422]

UGH, the TAP is back huh? Well, SO not your problem, right?

I like Jeff's rework of your paragragh.
