Goodness, you two are adorable 

Hey girls did you see there is another cute guy hanging around.

And Colleen you be nice to Marie? Marie Simone? Or just Simone?
Isn't this her forum posting?
You can have the last word on yours.
Or am I confused about who's this is?

Should we start calling you Marie? Marie Simone? Or just Simone?
No mater how good of a girl you are and how hard you wish your outties won't fall off.
I know I have tried for years. It just doesn't work. Darn. 

Sounds like both of you are having way to much fun buying out the stores in the area.
Colleen it sounds like your LBD has made you happy. So when are you going to wear it out?
Do you have a nice clutch and jewelry and shoes to go with it? Maybe more shopping. 

Marie? Marie Simone? Or Simone???
Sound like you have been real busy.
Glad you are back sis. You have been missed.
Oh wow your full time. Way to go girl.
So there Colleen.

Love you Both.
Hugs,
Jillieann

Hi Simone and Colleen

Sorry for not replying much the last time.
I was very busy doing the paperwork and finding a lawyer for the divorce and I was a little sad about it.

But, I read all your adventures and it seems to me that the two of you can get along together very well.
I'm very glad to read that things are going smooth with you.
Colleen have find here place and looks very happy to me.
And  Simone, I think the name Marie Simone sounds very feminine.....beautifull.

I'm not suprised that the two of you have a great time together, two kind, friendly ladies.
It looks a lot of fun to me and you'll have a lot of support from eachother.
Simone, good you think about that a few month's ago? great isn't it?

Stay healthy and happy girls, I will follow you on my computerscreen, with a big smile on my face.

love
annette

@Jillieann:  Yes, this is Simone's thread, but I like to tease her.  It's okay, she's fine with it.  About the LBD... NO, of course I don't have anything to accessorize with it, thanks for pointing that out...    But of course that just means more SHOPPING...    And no, I don't have anyplace to wear it, and probably won't for a long time, but... (I'm sure ALL you girls understand) when I saw it on me, I just HAD to have it!  I'll have to post a picture, it really looks FABULOUS!  And best of all, only $15!  Yes, you read that right.  Of course the dry cleaning bill will be more than that, lol...  And shoes...

@Annette:  Girl!  So glad to see you post again.  I was wondering where you were.  Sorry to hear the reason for your absence, it makes me sad.  Especially since I AM heading down the same path.  But for now, my wife and I are content to be separated, because as long as we aren't officially divorced, she still has coverage under my company health plan.  Really, there isn't much reason to formalize things once-and-for-all until one or the other of us wants to get remarried.  At least that's how things look so far.  And yes, there is much happiness for me, but also some sadness.  I spoke with my wife yesterday, to tell her about my plans for going full-time, and there was some sadness in that conversation for me.  Simone was there to comfort me when I cried afterward.  It was a rather difficult day for me.  I also spoke to my parents in the evening, to tell them of my plans, and I found they are much more accepting than I would have thought.  My mother said, "We love you COMPLETELY."  Wow.  I will be going to visit them in April, just before I go full-time.

Colleen, of course I know you were just being a tease.
And me, I had to get into the act too, sis.
Oh yes I know that LBD just called out to you and at that price Wow.

QuoteNO, of course I don't have anything to accessories with it, thanks for pointing that out...    But of course that just means more SHOPPING...   

No problem hon,  and anyway isn't that one of my jobs as a sister?

Colleen it's got to be weird starting over.
Happy with so much freedom, sad for the lost of a lifestyle.
Oh hon I do feel for you.
Hugs.

And Annette it is good to have you back.
We were starting to worry about you.
Sorry to hear about the divorce and all.
Hug for you too.


Marie? Marie Simone? Or just Simone? Where are you?
Although I like them all I can't just keep calling you all those names sis.
Which do you prefer?
And here a hug for you too.
Can show favorites.

Jillieann

Thanks for the hugs Jillieann and don't you worry about me, It's just a busy time.
Doing my job, the paperwork, lawyers and the emotional rollercoaster.
But I promise when all this is behind me, I will spend more time with you.

Simone or Marie, i was just reading your first posts again.
There is a lot happened since then.
I enjoy reading how happy you are now.
Keep on going girl.

Colleen, I know where you are going trough.
But, to see it on the bright side, thankfully you have a lot of support from your family.
I hope you can stay on speaking terms with your wife after so many years together.

love you all
annette

Hi!!!!!!! here I is.

Marie Simone will be my legal name Simone will be what I use day to day, yes it is odd but I love to keep then guessing.   

Yes we have fun but we have our moments too.  Things are said at times even a gesture can be rough. But like in any friendship or relationship one has to take the good with the bad and the bad with a grain of salt. 
Colleen is mostly a great room mate.  Mind you,  I have my flaws and she does too. Important thing is over all understanding from all concerned.

IE: yes I did accidentally have a fire in the oven today. Blah blah blah..
IE: Yes Colleen has lived her whole life with a wife that did the lions share of the home work (This is reasonable since her wife was a stay at home wife at the time) But I think Colleen is quickly learning to be an Independent woman.
IE: we are both used to things being our own way. now we compromise.
IE: we often double shop. we look in the fridge and go shopping and end up having bought double.

You see no one is perfect and we are learning to live together. I take it as an adventure and an exploration of becoming WE.

Oh wells everyone have a great day

Hugs
Simone.

Simone,
I'm glad your well.
Yes it does take a while to get use to having a roomie.
And figuring who does what when and not getting upset when they don't.
That's the key to harmony.

Heared all about Colleen's LBD and nothing about what you got on the shopping spree.
Keep moving forward sis.
Hugs,
Jillieann

Hey, I just watched "Meet the Robinsons" last night, and that slogan was in the movie!  I assume you've seen it?  Great movie!

Yeap Colleen I have seen Meet the Robinson's.
It's a fun movie.
But I didn't remember the slogan came that movie.
Hugs,
Jillieann

Where have you two girls gone?
My mom went into the hospital with pneumonia and is still there after a week.
And I got struck down with a bad cold. Thank you I am on the mend.
That's why I haven't been around. Thanks for asking.   

So what are your excuses? 
Do miss you too terrible. 
Hugs,
Jillieann

Just busy, JillieAnn, sorry.  We're going out to a club tonight, first time, and I'm feverishly working to get ready.  Had a GREAT shopping day today, got a pair of shoes (as did Simone), and a nice ring (Simone got sunglasses), and tonight, I'm going to wear my LBD!!!  So, sorry... just a "little" busy at the moment.  But, we're fine.  Just busy.  I do wish I had more time to spend here...

So glad to hear from you Colleen.
Wow! You get to wear that LBD and so soon.
Please write when you get time and Simone too.
Share about your shopping and Night Clubing too.
Hugs,
Jillieann

Haha, I was wondering where everyone had gone aswell!

Jillieann, I hope you and your Mum's health improve soon.

Thanks Make_It_Good.
I do feel much better.
My mom is impoving slowly but still in the hospital.
I am hoping that she will be able to go home before the weekend.
Hugs,
Jillieann

Hey girls

Where are you? Busy times right now?
I was just curious how things are going, everything okay?
Are the both of you allready used to live in the same house?
And Simone, how is your diet going?
Jillieann, is your mother recoverd now?
So many questions, I'll hope you can answere them. I really need an update.

Hugs for all

annette

Hi Annette,
Thank for asking about my mom.
She is still in the hospital. But off oxygen and doing much better when I talked to her yesterday.
Her lungs are clearing up and she is eating again.
Hopefully she will be going home soon.
I noticed Colleen gets on the Susan's but is posting.
Don't know what has happened to our sweet Simone.
Hugs,
Jillieann

Hi, girls,

Sorry about not posting more.  Things are just WAY too busy, and in my off hours, I'm too mentally tired to think of stuff to post.  And also, now that we're living TOGETHER, I think both Simone and I are kind of sensitive about what and how much we post here.  We want to make sure we don't cross a line and post too much - a girl's gotta have SOME privacy, lol.  Okay, updates on me:  I now have a friend-with-benefits I get together with once in a while (and she knows about me, and has given me jewelry, and gives me girl tips), I have an endo appointment on March 29th (YAY!!!), I'm down to 174 lbs (from 182 a month ago), and I'm using a number of things to see if I can get more hair on my head, enough to stop wearing a wig (Rogaine, Nizoral, NutriCap).  I commute to and from work, an hour or more each way.  And I JUST got my room nicely organized!!!

So... we're just busy living our lives.  Hope to post more and more often here soon...

Glad life is settling in so nicely for you Colleen. We do understand about respecting each other's boundaries.

A Girlfriend  . Wow you move fast.

We are happy for you. Tell Simone,"Hi!" from us too.

Big Hugs.
Roxy & Patty

Really pleased you and Simone are settling in. There is no doubt that having a friend nearby makes a load of difference. But respecting space is just the scond part, the first and most important is discovering what that space is.

I just get the feeling you'll do OK.
