I liked "In Her Shoes," too! It's great that we can find a movie when we are hurting and just see it over and over. I ran "Notting Hill" almost every nite after my breakup with my ex-.

Hang in there, Newleaf. It is tough to travel all that way and see your daughter for 1/2 hour. But it's good, too. You feel like you are doing something. But I've come to hate those windows and those short phone cords....

I pray that your sister will reach out to you as well. My sister and I have always had a rocky relationship. Other than still blaming me for going to college when my mother was ill (30+ years ago), I never know what she is angry with me for, or appreciating me for, or even thinking about! :--)) She just disappears from view. It's tough, but that is who she is, I guess.

Glad to hear finances are doing ok. Something will come up by July 8th!

(Hmmmm....I think you need to change your tag line in your profile as well!)
