"TOOT!!!!" "TOOT!!!"

I don't want to toot my own horn but I make one heck of a roast.  It has been slowly cooking since about 9 AM.  It smells so good!  Gotta love roasting cow meat.  Just add gravy, homemade bread, potatoes and carrots and you have dinner.

I had a crazy busy weekend.  A lot of it was working on my husbands Jaguar XJS.  That beast is everything that is good and bad about British cars.  The craftsmanship is elegant but the ludicrous ideas on the placement of things make it hard to work on.

But is is very pretty.

The mail isn't here yet today so I have not gotten my updated prescription yet.  I don't know if it will be coming in today or later this week.  Last night, Ozzie and I had a long conversation.  Much of it was about my improved mental state.  He says I am a completely different person than I was 2-3 months ago.  He says I am not moping and I am getting my personality back.  Slowly.  The house seems happier when I am not sulking in a corner, wishing the darkness would swallow me up.  The kids aren't as nervous.  That is easy when they don't see mommy crying for no reason.  I have been told by a few people that the difference can be seen in my writing.  I will have to go back and read to see if even I can see it.

We also talked about what we wanted to do for our 9 year anniversary in August.  That got us talking about what to do next year for our 10 year.  We want to have a celebration for our friends and family to join in next year.  Kind of a big middle finger to all the ones who said that we wouldn't last this long.  We got a lot of, "You won't make it six months."  "You can't make it a year."  And "You will be divorced by you 10 year anniversary."  So we want to make sure to have a great party to stick it to the naysayers.  Sadly, a lot of these people are extended family members.  People who I found, in the last few years, have never liked me and boarder on hating me.  People who pretended to like me.  So we will have a party.  And enjoy it without them.  For our anniversary this year we are just gonna, hopefully, find a babysitter and enjoy dinner and an evening, just us two.

I am going to take a moment to say, "I love my husband so much!"  He balances me out and treats me so well.  We balance each other out.  I couldn't imagine my life without him.  It is almost scary how much we influence each other.  I wish I could influence him to like veggies more.  He is the best man and a great father.  I love you, Ozzie.
