A good trip overall. I enjoyed the trip with my sister. My husband didn't. The text messages killed me. She finally said why don't you just shut it off. I did end up spending more than I expected. But I bought a complete set of the "bare Minerals" starter makeup. it was a spur of the moment thing. That was the makeup used on me for my DD wedding and I didn't react. So when my sis and I were walking the mall, we went in and I had a made over. It felt good, it looked good. It was a shock to him. I also bought books. Went clothes shopping, ended up with $140 worth for $80, between gift card, discount for trying for a credit card (and got under my own name-alone finally! my credit got ruined when dh was in school) and then sales woman saying that those slacks are on sale-when she wasn't-but she gave us the sales price when we bought the second pair! I did buy for sis too! So she had fun. Didn't go to court, sis is scared to do that, and if she isn't ready, well, I am not going to push-it is not that important. We did talk about some things that she discovered about mom. We had to be better than cousins-in behavior. A minor infraction was major. And cousins would tell their mom if we did wrong, their mom. Our mom would believe everyone else over us. Even if we were right.

Hubby is still in shock and scared. He is walking on tenderhooks. But he did say last night that I looked the most relaxed he had seen me in a long time. He still thinks that I am getting ready to leave him, but only time will tell him otherwise. He is not listening to me, and is having trouble understanding why I am insisting on a 3rd party to help us work through this. But I am holding fast. (He just called me crying). Hopefully, he is not just acting. I don't know, I do know that I love him.

I did find out that when I am not around him, I do not eat as much. I ate the same amount as my sister did. AND WAS FULL. So I wil be watching it here. I want to loose weight. I will be increasing my activitly level also.
