View Full Version : 61 days and counting!-14 days
Crstnamre 11-13-2005, 03:02 PM 61 days till he is home and I am a wreck!!! This is going to be my day by day account/diary of my count down till he comes home. Some days I look at it like....Its only a little while longer and some days its like OMG....its still 2 months away!!! Today is the former...lol. I just cannot wait till I can hold him and be close to him! I fantasize about what it will be like to see him for the first time after a year. I tell you...I sure do admire you ladies who have/are waiting longer! I dont know how you do it.
whiskeylullabye 11-13-2005, 03:44 PM I'm so excited for you!!!
Crstnamre 11-13-2005, 09:07 PM I'm so excited for you!!!
Thank you!!! Me too!! But I am also a raving lunatic! My mood swings are even getting on my last nerve. He better not EVER put me through this again. Good grief! Half the time I don't even know my name. The first 10 months I think I just lived with it..accepted it. But, now that the time is drawing near, I am realizing how much this all has hurt. I know I am going to be a big ol cry baby when he finally gets here....and he will let me:p

Thanks Cali!!!!
Crstnamre 11-14-2005, 12:03 PM Well this morning is one of those mornings that I feel like 2 months is 2 years. I am trying to look at short term dates, Thanksgiving first..then Christmas, New years, Pauls birthday..January 11th which is 3 days before his release date :( . I want to make his homecoming really special...I guess I have all the plans to make for that too...right?
Crstnamre 11-14-2005, 10:16 PM I am excited tonight because my little ticker is going to say 1mo 29days. I have been waiting to see that 1 in front for a long time and its finally here!!! YAY!!! It doesnt change till after 1am my time..but I might end up staying up juuuuuust to watch it change. I know all this is making me a bit manic and I am just trying to go with it...ride it out.
Crstnamre 11-15-2005, 02:10 AM My ticker is under 2 months!!! I have been waiting to see that 1 in front!!!! YAY!!! I can go to sleep now. I stayed up late just so I could see the ticker...lol.
nimuay 11-15-2005, 07:09 AM Good luck girl!! It is nerve-racking,isn't it. Just remember, he's not really going to care if the windows got washed or the silverware is polished...if you've taken a shower and combed your hair, that's all he needs!
Crstnamre 11-15-2005, 12:12 PM Good luck girl!! It is nerve-racking,isn't it. Just remember, he's not really going to care if the windows got washed or the silverware is polished...if you've taken a shower and combed your hair, that's all he needs!
TY!!! I know you are right about the windows...lol. I am sort of just figuring it as extra activity for me during that last week to keep me from jumping out of my skin. Want to stay as busy as possible so the time will go by faster so I am planning these things to occupy my time.
robs_angel 11-15-2005, 03:30 PM good luck, its ok i would do the same thing about the ticker lol, we're not crazy just in love !!! im sooo excited for you!!!!!!

Crstnamre 11-15-2005, 03:43 PM TY!!! No...I think I AM a little bit crazy from all of this...much in love..but a little bit wacked out..lol!! 7 years. I admire you and all the ladies who are doing long bids with their men, WOW. You are SO strong. Yup...they better not do this again or its alllllllll over. I am to damn old for this stuff:D

TY!!!! I am sure trying..some days are better than others. It seems like these last days are dragging by:(. But at least I am in the double digits right??? We sure will..its going to be very special!!! Take care !!!

Yes..it is!!! Oh goody..we can go crazy and count down together!!!!
Crstnamre 11-16-2005, 11:23 PM Today went pretty fast actually...YAY!!! But I was talking to my grandma and at some point she says " Christmas is a long way off" and I am like "No its not!" and turned on my heels and went and sulked. Its little things like this that are getting to me. I know I am becoming somewhat unbearable to live with and I really do try to make an effort to not take it out on my family...but DAMNNNNNNN, its rough.
Crstnamre 11-17-2005, 02:41 PM And still it drags..I swear each day is a little longer than the last. WTF. Any other time and my days just fly on by. I couldnt fall asleep till 4am this morning, just layed there, tossing and turning. I honestly feel this has been harder on me than him. Hell, even when I did time it was easier than this. This is just torture. I pray I never have to do this again. Nope, this is no fun at all:(
lovespell 11-17-2005, 02:57 PM Girl, congratulations!! It will go by, just keep yourself really busy, and I am sure you will be, with Christmas coming and new years and planning for his homecomming.
I am really happy for you!!!!:thumbsup: and Christmas is not that far away, only 5 more weeks...YIKES!! It will be here before you know it.
Crstnamre 11-17-2005, 07:57 PM Girl, congratulations!! It will go by, just keep yourself really busy, and I am sure you will be, with Christmas coming and new years and planning for his homecomming.
I am really happy for you!!!!:thumbsup: and Christmas is not that far away, only 5 more weeks...YIKES!! It will be here before you know it.
Thanks lovespell!!! I know..its just a minute, but it feels like forever!!!!
Crstnamre 11-18-2005, 02:39 AM I cant sleep to save my life. 59 days now to go and I have a feeling sleep deprived is going to be an understatement. I am even trying to not pay attention to what day it is..YA RIGHT!!!
Crstnamre 11-18-2005, 06:19 PM How am I gonna make this?? I feel like time is just standing still. No matter how busy I am it just creeps on by. This sucks. I honestly feel this is the most difficult time in my life. I have been through some trials and tribulations...but this has got that all beat by a long shot. Almost one more day gone though....yipeeeeeeee.:cool:
e_wife03 11-18-2005, 07:41 PM Very happy for you
Crstnamre 11-19-2005, 04:16 AM TY very much....it means alot to have all you ladies support ya know.
Very happy for you
nimuay 11-19-2005, 06:10 AM So, have you slept yet?
California Sunshine 11-19-2005, 10:31 AM What are we down to now??? :)
Crstnamre 11-19-2005, 02:03 PM So, have you slept yet?
LOL...ya, I took some Tylenol PM and fell asleep at almost 5 am..got up at 10 am. Maybe I will be more tired tonight since I didnt sleep a full night:D. I am hopeful.
Crstnamre 11-19-2005, 02:09 PM What are we down to now??? :)
55 and a wake up:thumbsup: I think the days till Thanksgiving at least are going to go by fast....lots of family stuff going on and planning. The longest haul here at the end is going to be from TG-Christmas and I am hoping that will fly by too!!!
Crstnamre 11-19-2005, 08:44 PM Today has gone by fast!! YAY!!! I am thrilled....now if they could just all go by this fast I would be good to go:thumbsup:
Crstnamre 11-20-2005, 04:47 AM Oh ya...here it is 3:40 AM.....can't sleep again. I laid there for about 2 hours tossing and turning, trying to blank my mind out. No luck. Its like as soon as I lay down and am not busy anymore...then my head really gets going. I think when Paul comes home after we.....(well you know:D ), I am probably going to sleep for a week. I never would have thought I would be missing him THIS MUCH....I mean ya, I love him like I have never loved any man...but I have always been pretty self sufficient emotionally. I am definitely gone on his sh*t. How strangely wonderful it is to feel this way actually. Sigh......
tandg 11-20-2005, 09:20 AM It is hard to countdown. I never thought the end of the year would come. I found it easier to countdown the holidays or for instance my husband gets out on a Thursday, so I would count down the Thursdays. So today instead of saying I have 18 more days, I can say I have 2 more Thursdays and that's a lot more bareable. I don't sleep either. I've been on shopping and cleaning sprees. I pace, I play solitaire. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I feel ya. :thumbsup:
unoweallwegot 11-20-2005, 12:04 PM i wish the best for u both. i too await the day that my husband and i give back this 20 yrs to life. it has been 7 yrs already and each day i say that tomorrow will be our realease date. REMEMBER that the struggle still continues although he will be home.
peace

OOOOOh Thats a good idea!!!!!!! I am going to go with the Thursdays thing. He gets out on a Saturday. Hmmmmm, I wonder do they release on weekends? Thank you Mrs. Evans!!!!!

peace
20 years. Oh wow..now I feel bad complaining about waiting this little bit of time. My heart goes out to you both and I admire you're strength..you are a hell of a woman. Thank you for the kind words and support.
Crstnamre 11-21-2005, 02:51 AM Ahhhh yes, here I am again. I was asleep and woke up and here I am. I counted and I have 8 Thursdays left. Ok....not bad. I think I can do this. Do I have a choice....if I did I know I would be snuggled up with my baby instead of sitting here typing my woes. I am going to read this thread when this is over and let him read it when he is home. Geez I miss him. I am a fool in love with this man. G'night Christina...lol. Yall probably thinking I am straight crazy huh.....could be.:rolleyes:
Crstnamre 11-22-2005, 04:45 AM I actually fell asleep ok and made it to 2:30 am. Now I am awake though and cannot go back to sleep. I am so mad at him for not writing me for 3 weeks. I wonder how much longer it will be until I hear from him. This hurts. I think I am more hurt than anything though. Its probably nothing....at least thats what I keep TRYING to tell myself. It doesnt change the fact that I miss him like crazy.
Crstnamre 11-22-2005, 04:35 PM Still no mail today. I am really upset that he is doing this. I never would have thought that he was capable of this kind of BS....we have known each other so long and I just never saw this coming. Something has got to be wrong here. I guess all I CAN do is wait. I am resigned to that little fact...I think. Acceptance??? :cool:
tandg 11-22-2005, 08:10 PM I'm sorry to hear that you are going thru this.:( There has to be a good reason though. Even though it doesn't feel good, :blah: prison teaches us patience. He will tell you the reason. My husband did this to me and his justification was because he is excited about coming home. I too thought it was because of an issue that occured, but it wasn't. Stay strong, it's almost over.:thumbsup:
Crstnamre 11-23-2005, 02:13 AM TY. It doesnt feel good..it feels yucky. And heck ya...it teaches us patience..which is not one of my finer traits..lol. You're husband really did this too huh? That makes me feel alot better. Not happy that you have been down this road also, but just the thought that its maybe normal...makes me feel better. Thank you!!!!

Crstnamre 11-23-2005, 02:45 AM 52 and a wake up. I hope. :o Not such a great day....still no mail. I am hanging in there. It seems like I miss him just a little more each day. I am trying to think what this must be like for him...beng gone for nearly a year and being so close to coming home. I have been there myself, but everyone handles it differently. I wish he would talk to me and tell me everything is all ok. Maybe its not though...maybe this is really hard for him and he is struggling to make it through everyday just like I am.
tandg 11-23-2005, 08:33 AM 52 days, you're almost to the 40's. :thumbsup: Everything will be fine. He'll write you and tell you why and this will soon become water under the bridge. Congratulations on his homecoming!!! :)
Crstnamre 11-23-2005, 04:30 PM You were right...I finally got a letter today!! He tells me he has written 2 others and that I must not have received them yet...I havent... so they are MIA. Now I feel like a big goof for thinking all the crazy things. I am so relieved to hear from him and the letter was soooooo sweet. Damn I love this man. Like I have never loved another. I am going to marry him. I feel it in my bones. Thanks Mrs. Evans for all you're support...I think that you are the one person who has gotten me through this no mail thing...you're words played the loudest in my head..even over my neg thoughts. Thank you!!!!
52 days, you're almost to the 40's. :thumbsup: Everything will be fine. He'll write you and tell you why and this will soon become water under the bridge. Congratulations on his homecoming!!! :)

Crstnamre 11-23-2005, 08:56 PM Thank you megirl176!!!!!
Congratulations and God Bless:)
Crstnamre 11-24-2005, 12:28 AM Well all in all, it has been a great day. I finally received a letter from Paul and it was the best letter ever. Kinda fitting it being Thanksgiving and all...cause boy am I thankful my baby wrote me and my baby loves his girl!!! He is so special to me. Ok......its the end of one more day..one more day closer to my being in his arms and THAT is a wonderful thing.
Crstnamre 11-24-2005, 05:15 AM Cant sleep. I cant remember when was the last time I was able just to drift off peacefully to sleep. I am resigned to the fact that I wont know that type of sleep until he is home with me. I wait for the night I will be able to fall asleep in his arms again.
Crstnamre 11-24-2005, 12:50 PM I am so sad that Paul is without his family for Thanksgiving. He is a family man and I know this must be a very difficult day for him. I hope he feels me hugging him.
jblovesdb 11-24-2005, 01:31 PM I am sorry that you are stressing sweetie...but you have to remember...this is the LAST holiday season that Paul will be without his family. I am sure he is thinking about you just as much as you are missing him. Keep your head up sweetie!! He will be home SOOO soon! Best wishes to the both of you:) Hugs:p
-Jackie
Crstnamre 11-24-2005, 02:22 PM Thanks....you're support means so much!! Hope you are having a good holiday.

Crstnamre 11-24-2005, 09:51 PM I think I am really starting to realize how close we are to the end of this nightmare....as much as I bitch and moan about how "I cant wait" and how hard this is....it is in reality almost over. Being that this is Thanksgiving, I am so thankful that this is almost over. One more day almost gone......
Crstnamre 11-25-2005, 01:46 AM 49 days and a wake up. 12 days since I started this thread and ya....it seems like it was just yesterday.....looking forward it looks sooooooo far away....BUT ITS NOT. Its an illusion....time plays tricks on me. I wish old father time would just hurry up already...:( I am aging here....lol.
Crstnamre 11-25-2005, 02:38 AM And here I am again....it doesnt matter how early I get up or how busy I am all day....when it comes time to fall asleep, I get nothin!! I am seriously considering getting some sleep meds from my doctor...I just cant do this everynight...OR CAN I...lol. I am going to give it another shot here.:thumbsup:
tandg 11-25-2005, 06:43 PM I'm happy to hear that you rcvd a letter from him. :) It's almost over!!! I bet he misses you and his family but this is the last time he has to miss Thanksgiving. 49 days huh? :cool: Wow!!! :D Time is flying. When we look ahead it doesn't seem like we will get there fast enough but when we look back, we can see that time has gone by pretty fast. Just keep counting down by days of the week or holidays, or something that makes the numbers smaller. :D He'll be with you before ya know it. :) :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 11-25-2005, 07:16 PM Thanks tandg!!! You know..when I was laying here trying to fall asleep last night (the craziest things running through my head) I came upon the greatest revelation.....lol. I have ONLY one more "monthly" to go!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

tandg 11-25-2005, 07:42 PM LOL, :haha: You know what? I didn't want to say it. But that's how me and my husband counted down. LOL. :haha: I was embarassed and thought people would think I was crazy if i said it. :) I wrote him a letter earlier this month and told him we were through. :thumbsup: It works. Believe me. LOL. :haha: Do whatever works for you. :D
Crstnamre 11-25-2005, 11:22 PM Thats CLASSIC!! Don't know why I had'nt thought of it before!!!! I am going to write Paul tonight and tell him!! He will get a kick out of it.:D And 1 left DEFINITELY works for me. :p And I dont think you're one bit crazy for counting those..nope, not one bit!!!!

Crstnamre 11-25-2005, 11:37 PM The end of another day...I hope!!! Please GOD let me get a decent nights sleep tonight. 49 and a wake up!!!
Crstnamre 11-26-2005, 03:49 AM I am an insomniac. I never have been an insomniac before and frankly..I really could not understand how a person could have trouble falling asleep. Well now I know. I have even tried the counting sheep thing and I am here to inform anyone reading this that it does not work. I miss my baby damn it. BOO HOO!!!!! Poor me. Ok, I am done.
tandg 11-26-2005, 12:23 PM I'm so sorry that you are not getting any sleep. You know, when he comes home your going to sleep like a baby. Just a little longer. Try something relaxing right before. Like a bath and a book. Hope this helps. :)
Crstnamre 11-26-2005, 03:06 PM You know...I hadnt even thought of that...I bet a bath WOULD work. Thank you!!!!

Crstnamre 11-26-2005, 08:20 PM I finally broke. I havent cried...(ok, I have shed some tears) but tonight in the shower.....I cried my eyes out for real and you know what??? I feel much better. :D Maybe it was all the pent up frustration??? I dont exactly know...but I do know I feel like a weight has been lifted. Oh and I LOVE all these Christmas commercials....the more the better!!! Means I am getting closer!!
silent'sgirl 11-26-2005, 08:25 PM God bless you both! I'm excited for you! I find myself feeling the same way! Some days I'm like wow he will be home in less than four months. Then I have my bad days when it seems like eternity and a day before he will be free. I have waited for almost 8 years. I can wait a few more months! I wish you the best! Take care and make sure to try and get some rest! I'm sure he will love to just be home with you!!!!:grouphug:
Crstnamre 11-26-2005, 08:42 PM You have waited 8 years!!!??? I admire you sooooooo much. I really cannot say that I could have done 8 years of this. Thank you so much for you're support. I am trying....I suck at this. I hope we never have to do this again. I am so happy for you being almost done with this damn thing yourself...8 years....OMG!!

No problem, I just hope you get some sleep. :) So what are we at now? :fb: :yay: :dance:
tandg 11-27-2005, 01:48 AM I hope you're sleeping. :) As you can see, I'm not. LOL. Well you're into the 40's now. You are getting closer. :cool: Time is going by. Even though it's not fast enough for us. :blah: It is going by. :) Thanks for counting down with me. :cool: Congratulations and let's keep counting down. :thumbsup: :D
Crstnamre 11-27-2005, 07:09 AM I fell asleep actually pretty fast...now staying asllep, that was a whole different ballgame. I woke up at about 3:30 am and layed there for a while trying to go back to sleep. Popped in a movie thinking I might drift off and as you can see that was a complete failure. I am laying there thinking 48 more nights of this....lol. And this is one of those clear and really cold nights...the kind that you're bones are frozen, which REALLY makes me miss Paul...he is a heater that man. SOOOOOON Christina.:o I love counting down with you...I am so excited for you. And the closer you get the closer I get. Boy we are a pair. I hope you finally made it to sleep. I am going to give it another shot.
I hope you're sleeping. :) As you can see, I'm not. LOL. Well you're into the 40's now. You are getting closer. :cool: Time is going by.

tandg 11-27-2005, 07:34 PM We're getting into the mid 40's now. Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 11-27-2005, 11:22 PM Yup....just about one more week and I will be in the 30's!! I am now wondering how this whole parole thing works. I have NO clue. I wish Paul and I got phone calls so I could ask him these things better than going through letters. Its frustrating!!!
We're getting into the mid 40's now. Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 11-28-2005, 01:33 AM I just wanted to see my little ticker change days...lol. 47 and a wake up.:o
Crstnamre 11-28-2005, 02:34 AM This no sleeping thing is wack. I am going to be a raving lunatic in 47 days.....I tried the bath...I took my vitamins and my mind is still racing. I dont drink caffine, or do drugs and I dont drink...so whats the deal??? What is wrong with me?? I swear when he gets home...we are sleeping (ya right!! ) for a week.
Crstnamre 11-28-2005, 01:04 PM I slept FITFULLY. I woke up with the sheet around my neck and the bed tore up. Wonder what I was dreaming about??? Crazy.
tandg 11-28-2005, 04:20 PM Congratulations!!! :) You're getting there. :D Let's pray this time away. I hope you get some better sleep and more sleep. I know, not having phone calls sucks. :blah:
Crstnamre 11-28-2005, 05:39 PM Ya but you only have 9 MORE DAYS!!!!!!! 9 MORE DAYS!!!! I am still stuck on that. Whew........this is crazy! Who cares if we sleep.....you only have 9 MORE DAYS!!!!! I will have 38 days in 9 MORE DAYS...in the 30's....which will mean the 20's will be only about a week away. This short term goal thing is really working for me, lol. And you know what???? YOU ONLY HAVE 9 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!! :) You're getting there. :D Let's pray this time away. I hope you get some better sleep and more sleep. I know, not having phone calls sucks. :blah:
tandg 11-28-2005, 05:44 PM LOL, yeah I do have only 9 more days. :eek: But the closer I get, the closer you get. Let's keep counting. :D :thumbsup: :)
Crstnamre 11-28-2005, 05:50 PM Oh hell ya.....I am a countdown fool right now!! I am also excited for the day I get to change my ticker to say 30 days.
LOL, yeah I do have only 9 more days. :eek: But the closer I get, the closer you get. Let's keep counting. :D :thumbsup: :)
Crstnamre 11-28-2005, 10:46 PM Ughhhhh...I wish November was gone already!! I have had enough of November. Time to move on to December.....come on December!!! Lets do this Christmas thing and get it over with!!! I know I am being a grinch about it, and I truly hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. For me its just one more day without him though. Usually it comes so darn fast, its like wham....Christmas!!!! I hope it goes as fast this year.
Crstnamre 11-29-2005, 01:20 AM Just came to see my ticker change...lol. 46 and a wake up.
tandg 11-29-2005, 08:48 AM 46 more days. Yeah, I understand about November being gone. Tomorrow is the last day of it. Then December. And December is the last month you'll have to be without him. :) In my experience, once you get to the 30's, it's all down hill from there....Until you get to the last week. Then you start going crazy again. It's only Tuesday!!! This sucks. come on December!!! LOL. :D Congratulations, you're into the mid 40's now. You started this thread in the 60's. Let's keep counting. :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 11-29-2005, 09:12 AM I KNOW you are wanting December to come on in real bad too huh!!! Oh good!! I hope that last month goes reallllll fast!! I can do that last week.....bring it!! LOL. I know...I was thinking that last night...It seems like just yesterday I started this thread at 61 and now I am at 46...it did go kinda fast..looking back. This is just to much for my little heart to handle sometimes.....feels like its gong to explode! I never ever want to do this again.

Crstnamre 11-29-2005, 01:54 PM OMG...I am so confused about this 115 thing!! Its driving me crazy. Paul got a 115 back at NKSP about 2 months ago now and he said he cant file the 602 on it until the end of Dec...and they have 30 days to restore the credits so I am wondering if he is going to even get out on 1/14/06 or if its going to stay 2/28/06 because of the 115. GOD I HOPE NOT!!!
Crstnamre 11-30-2005, 04:14 AM Well I have decided that either way....I am leaving my little ticker just like it is. if I get to 1/14 and have to add time.....well I will but for now, its just easier on my brain to THINK its 1/14....wont look as far off if I have to change it at that point anyways...right?? Right. I swear...this is the biggest test....testing all kinds of things.
tandg 11-30-2005, 09:57 AM :mad: I'm so sorry about this whole 115 situation. Pray real hard!!! But I thought it was if he didn't have any reaccurances within 30 days that they would restore the time? So in that case since it happend 60 days ago, they should restore it and he should get out on time. 45 more days. You're into the mid 40's now. :) Tomorrow is the start of December. :thumbsup: We're getting there.:D
Crstnamre 11-30-2005, 06:55 PM Thanks tandg. I am just trying to stay positive here. Anything can happen. I have been told it was 30, 60 and 90 days. I dont know anymore and can we ever be certain of anything with the CDC(R?)...LOL. I am on this ride no matter what is going to happen. I am just hoping for the best. Who knows.....for all I know, he could be out on his original date 12/15 and surprise me...stranger things have happened. Like I said...I am leaving my little ticker right like it is and if it is longer by the time it runs down, I will add it then...if I have to. As you can tell...I have resigned myself that I am at the mercy of the whole damn thing.
Crstnamre 12-01-2005, 04:12 AM Well its December.....finally. I thought it was never going to get here. Surely the time will fly by till Christmas. I have done some figuring and as far as I can estimate..with his 602 credit restoration and his work credits...I may be seeing him in January anyway. I dont know...its just a gut feeling I have that its going to be sooner than I think, I dont know why....I cant explain it..just womens intuition I guess. Or maybe I am deluding myself..either way, it works for me...lol.
tandg 12-01-2005, 08:43 AM Yay!!! :yay: :yay: :yay: It's December. :D :fb: :dance: :fb: 44 more days. Whooo hooo!!! :clap: :bow: :clap: Everything will turn out just fine. We're almost there. :cool: Let's keep counting. :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-01-2005, 09:41 AM I thought it would never get here!!!! I know it will turn out fine....I have a gut feeling and they are always right!!! Ima counting!!!

tandg 12-01-2005, 06:59 PM I never thought December would get here either. :) Soon we both will be saying that January got here fast. :D Just think, this is the last year that you have to spend the holidays without him :cool: (excluding New Year's) But yeah, everything will be just fine. 44 more days to go. Whooo hooo!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-01-2005, 09:59 PM Its here!!! I am so damn glad....its going to fly by!!! From now until New Years at least!!!! I feel that everything will be fine too. And I have re-read his letters and it is right. The date is right w/his restoration of credit it should be 1/14.....so its good!!!

Crstnamre 12-01-2005, 10:46 PM I was reading my baby's letters and I wanted to share this one because it is one that has got me through this the very most. On my worst days I read this and it makes it at least bearable......
Hello Beautiful,
Sometimes two people find that no matter how close they are and how much they love each other, lifes road takes them in different directions, at least for a while. I miss you so much, there are days when I would give anything to look into your eyes and feel the warmth of your smile, days when it seems like this separation will last forever. But I know it wont because the connection between us is to strong. When that day comes and we are together again, I know that it will be as if all this time and distance between us never existed. Until then, you are in my thoughts and in my heart with every day that goes by,
I love you
tandg 12-02-2005, 12:44 AM That is very beautiful. :cool: :) It made me all teary eyed. :D Congratulations once again. It will all be over soon. :thumbsup:
tandg 12-02-2005, 01:44 AM 43 more days. :eek: :D Much closer to the 30's. :cool: :) Let's keep counting. Just a little longer and it's all over. :thumbsup: As you can see, no sleep for me as usual. I also wanted to see my clicker change. Congratulations Crstnamre.:thumbsup: :D
Crstnamre 12-02-2005, 02:47 AM Huh?? I am close to the 30's!!! Gotta hold on just a little bit more!!! Ya....sleep is evading me also...I get a little here and there, but its never for very long. I KNOW you understand well. I know....I just have to see my ticker change.....it makes me SMILE!!!! The poem is beautiful...I dont know if he wrote it and I dont care, the meaning in his heart was all the same right??? Makes me all warm and fuzzy. TY for counting down with me!!!!
43 more days. :eek: :D Much closer to the 30's. :cool: :) Let's keep counting. Just a little longer and it's all over. :thumbsup: As you can see, no sleep for me as usual. I also wanted to see my clicker change. Congratulations Crstnamre.:thumbsup: :D

The only thing I'm sure it won't bring is....SLEEP. :D LOL!!! I can't wait to see your ticker change. :) The 30's will be here so soon. :cool: 6 Thursdays sounds pretty good. :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-03-2005, 12:21 AM I know...I am the same way. One minute I am smiling because we are almost there and the next I am crying because it still seems so far away. It definitely is the anticipation!!! Its almost over for us and thats what we have to focus on...easier said than done...yes??? 2 years!!! Oh wow, I have only been waiting a year and I dont even want to think about what 2 would be like...oh damn!!! Ya....six Thursdays left. :o I look at my calendar and just wish it was here already!!!! Like if I close my eyes tight and open them again it will all be over.....I WISH!!! I am going to try and get some sleep here, usually its only a couple hours though...so I will probably see you later tonight, lol!!!

Crstnamre 12-03-2005, 02:45 AM It was raining earlier and that made me really miss him. We used to lay together in bed and listen to the rain....just talking for hours. Ok....and doing other stuff too!! LOL. I just came to see my ticker change. One more day gone. I am almost in the 30's now. Just a couple more days!!!

Crstnamre 12-03-2005, 05:38 PM Oh I just got the MOST wonderful letter!!!! Paul says that he put in the 958 (restoration of credits) in Dec 1st!!!! This means it could be any day now!!! He will be taking the train back from Fresno and then the Blue Line into Long Beach. It could be any day now!!!! I have so much to do!!! I want to be ready, cause my baby LOVES surprises!! I told ya, I had this gut feeling it was going to be sooner. I just have a feeling it could be before Christmas. I am not counting on it...but I am not counting it out either. That closing my eyes thing just might work!!!
Yeah, I bet the sleep will be wonderful. :) Till then let's try and stay busy and keep counting. (Since closing our eyes didn't work :( ) LOL!!! :D
tandg 12-03-2005, 06:13 PM Crstnamre, that's the best news!!! :D Congratulations!!! :) May GOD bless you. I'll say a prayer for you. Can you close your eyes for me that my husband is good to me when he comes home? :) LOL! :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup: :D :thumbsup:

Crstnamre 12-04-2005, 01:43 AM I came to see my ticker change...but it hasnt changed yet:(. I found out tonight that a 958..which is what Paul filed on the 1st, is to ask for extra time off for good behavior!! EXTRA TIME OFF!! I am sooooooo praying hard right now!! Well....I guess I will try for some sleep and see my ticker later.
Crstnamre 12-04-2005, 03:36 AM But of course.....sleep avails me. I just wanted to come see my ticker change.:p

Crstnamre 12-06-2005, 01:52 AM Thank you babygirl350!!! Yes.....he will be coming home soon. I am hoping even sooner than what the ticker says, we will just have to wait and see. But I am getting so anxious to see him again. I have not seen him in about a year now.
This is just wonderful. I am very happy for you both. Yippee another one coming home. Happiness to you both always. All of my best to the two of you.

Crstnamre 12-07-2005, 12:51 AM The end of day 39. Creeping up...getting closer. I actually feel like this is getting somewhere now. For a while there it seemed as if I was stuck...half way to almost there. I miss him so much. I have never felt like this for anyone. I knew I loved Paul before...but all this has made me really understand how much this man means to me and that I cannot/ do not ever want to live my life without him. He is my best friend.
Crstnamre 12-07-2005, 03:33 AM Just wanted to see my ticker change. I actually slept for 2 hours straight!!! WOW!! I am going to try for 3 straight tomorrow.
tandg 12-07-2005, 05:49 AM 38 more days. :eek: :cool: Whooo hooo!!! :D This prison experience is one that makes us realize many things. I'm glad that in your case it was positive. :) Only the strong survive throughout this type of ordeal. You are coming out in love and together. :cool: That is wonderful. :D I wish you the best. :) You are almost there. Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-07-2005, 06:56 AM Is'nt that the truth....I sure have realized alot...like I am never going to bug him about snoring EVER again, lol!!! I would love to hear him snoring like a bear right now, it would probably help me sleep. So close, but yet so far.
38 more days. :eek: :cool: Whooo hooo!!! :D This prison experience is one that makes us realize many things.

tandg 12-07-2005, 08:22 AM The weird things we miss or would now ignore huh? :D
Crstnamre 12-07-2005, 08:34 AM Its soooooo true. As you can see....sleep has failed me, again too...lol.
The weird things we miss or would now ignore huh? :D
tandg 12-07-2005, 02:27 PM Yeah no sleep, no sitting. Just being anxious and excited. That's what we're going through and what we will continue to go through until we get our men back in our arms. :) Next week your ticker will say 30 days. :eek: Wow!!! :) Time is going by. :cool: Congratulations and thanks for all your support!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-07-2005, 05:55 PM I have had 2 hours sleep in the last 24 hours....maybe because of this I will actually get a few hours tonight....Lawd I hope so because boy was I grouchy today..lol. I was even grouchy to myself, now thats bad!!!! I am just going with it though...I know its going to be this way until he is home. Yup..on the 14th I can change my ticker to say 30 days. I still feel he is going to be home before the 1/14 date though.
Yeah no sleep, no sitting. Just being anxious and excited. That's what we're going through and what we will continue to go through until we get our men back in our arms. :) Next week your ticker will say 30 days. :eek: Wow!!! :) Time is going by. :cool: Congratulations and thanks for all your support!!! :thumbsup:
tandg 12-07-2005, 06:47 PM It's very possible that he can come home before that date. :) Just pray!!! :D Don't worry, prison is hard on all of us. We all have our days and times. ;) In a few hours, you'll be at 37 days. :eek: :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-07-2005, 09:55 PM I am on my knees everynight. Yes, it is hard on all of us isnt it. But you know??? I honestly feel that when I did my time way back when....it was'nt nearly, not even close to as hard as this is on me. Maybe it is because I was younger and more resilient..I dont know. Oh ya....37 come on down, lol!!!!
It's very possible that he can come home before that date. :) Just pray!!! :D Don't worry, prison is hard on all of us. We all have our days and times. ;) In a few hours, you'll be at 37 days. :eek: :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:
tandg 12-07-2005, 10:54 PM I probably won't be on tomorrow, so here's to 37 more days (or less). Whooo hooo!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-08-2005, 02:49 AM I managed to sleep for about 4 hours straight...that was after 24 hours NO sleep. One more day gone and one more day closer to my baby walking through my door. 6 more days and I can change my ticker to say 30 days!!!!!
Crstnamre 12-08-2005, 06:52 AM So much for the sleep thing. I am not a coffee drinker...but I have decided to give it try and see if I can get really caffined out and then crash hard and maybe get some sleep. I dont know if its going to work....but its worth a shot. I am worried about Paul...if he is keeping warm enough. Its been dipping into the 20's where he is at. His mom sent him thermols a few weeks back...but of course I still worry about my baby.
Crstnamre 12-08-2005, 06:15 PM I found out to day that they were flipping Pauls yard TODAY to an SNY yard. This means they will be moving Paul...somewhere. Damn, I wish they were'nt doing this so close to the end of his time. It makes me nervous.
Crstnamre 12-09-2005, 02:49 AM I just wanted to see my ticker change. I am stressing on Paul...where the hell did they move him to?? I can't even send my baby a damn letter until he writes me and lets me know where they have put him.
Crstnamre 12-09-2005, 09:59 PM I called the prison today and they have'nt moved him....yet and I really hope they don't actually. I hope he is able to stay where he is at until his release date. I miss him so much...I feel like I am really losing it here. Its not much longer now. I keep telling myself that I have managed to hang on this long, whats a little longer....but it is getting harder and harder emotionally each day. Sooooooon right????
Crstnamre 12-10-2005, 06:37 AM I managed to sleep from midnight till 3:30 am...wooooooo hooooooo!!! Its a new record since this sleeping thing has become an issue. I have been having these crazy dreams though....very random and wacky. I miss Paul so much...I think I am going to die....J/K!!! Only 3 more days and I can change my ticker to 30 days!!! I am so excited!!! I am still holding on to the possibility that he will be home before 1/14. I don't know how healthy that is for me emotionally...but oh well.
Crstnamre 12-11-2005, 01:07 AM One more day closer to his arms. What a beautiful thought. I am so filled with anticipation and excitement. This is the most anxious I have ever been in my whole life. Its probably somewhat comparable to the way I felt as a little girl waiting for Christmas morning..but on a much bigger scale. And...I dont know exactly when this Christmas morning is going to happen..that makes me 100xs more on edge. On edge in a weird, stressful, happy sort of way. Ahhhhhh one more day gone.
Crstnamre 12-11-2005, 03:25 AM I just wanted to see my ticker change...3 more days, Wednesday and its gonna say 30 days!!!!!:D
Crstnamre 12-11-2005, 08:40 AM I just realized....it just hit me that we are down to 32 days and a wake up, at the latest and all of a sudden I feel sick to my stomach!!! Whats up with that??? I KNOW its not that I am nervous about our relationship...maybe its just that after all these months of waiting it just is now hitting me that we are so close?? I am sure I will figure it out. So close but yet so far. Oh Lord.....please let it be that he comes home sooner than my ticker says so I can stop stressing out. I feel like I want to explode into a thousand and one pieces 24/7!!!
HotLatinaMILF4U 12-11-2005, 12:34 PM Awwww honey :grouphug: To be perfectly honest I'd be more worried if you weren't having all these emotions. Just hang in there you'll get where you need to be, believe that!!!
Hugggz,
Patty
Crstnamre 12-11-2005, 12:53 PM Thats true....is'nt it?? I never thought of it like that. I am just so excited that this is almost over. I have never been very patient and this is like the ultimate test....I mean what choice do I have?? I love him with all my heart and my only choice is that I be a lady in waiting. Thank you for the support and THANK YOU for changing my title to say 33 days...it looks much, much better!!!
Awwww honey :grouphug: To be perfectly honest I'd be more worried if you weren't having all these emotions. Just hang in there you'll get where you need to be, believe that!!!

Crstnamre 12-12-2005, 01:51 AM Oh definitely....we are in the same boat...all of us who are getting close to the day we can hold our guys and they can hold us!!! I am trying to hang in there, the closer it gets the more I miss him and the harder the waiting becomes it seems. Yup, you are only 5 days behind me...so we can count this down together.:thumbsup: And my ticker says 1month 1 day now!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!

Crstnamre 12-12-2005, 03:29 PM I got a letter from Paul today and they had his release date messed up:eek: . They had it as March something. Its Jan 14th with the restoration of credit. The counselor almost had sent back his 958 saying he put it in to early...but its all straightened out now. Whew....I am soooooooo glad he caught that!!!!! So he is supposed to go to committee within 3 weeks from the 5th of Dec. He hasnt had anymore 115's so he will get the time back. Looks like for sure my ticker is correct. My God am I glad he caught that!!!!!!
Crstnamre 12-13-2005, 07:01 AM My ticker says 1 month!!! (giggling:p)
Crstnamre 12-14-2005, 04:12 AM MY TICKER SAYS 30 DAYS!!!!!!!!!! I just want to stare at it for a while..I can't believe it really says 30 days!!!!

Crstnamre 12-14-2005, 12:39 PM Thank you!!!!! I know....I will be in the 20's tomorrow. I am working on the sleep thing, its just so hard to fall asleep when all I am thinking about is him coming home finally!!! I am trying though, thanks!!!!
You go girl!!!! He will be home before you know it!!!! I wish you the very best, just try to get a little rest before he gets here because I am sure you will need it...lol...
Crstnamre 12-14-2005, 04:29 PM I got the cutest Christmas card from Paul today and in it he says "I will see you very, very soon!" Now....what does this mean??? I just don't know. I don't want to read to much into it....but then again, maybe he is saying he will be home sooner than I think??? Geez I love him!!!!!! I am focusing on the set date and if its sooner well.....YAY!!!
Crstnamre 12-15-2005, 03:48 AM I am in the 20's!!!! My ticker says 29 DAYS!! I can't believe it!!! Woooooooooooo Hoooooooooo!!!!

Christine,
And another has passed...........read my last post in Reddawg's thread...I am exhausted!! and running around like a nut!! Have a good one!!
Crstnamre 12-19-2005, 01:03 PM Thank heaven!! Another weekend gone!! They seem so dang long!!!! Next weekend wont be so bad because its Christmas and it should go by quickly. I only have 3 weekends left and a wake up on Saturday the 14th!!! I get goosebumps just thinking about it!!! I feel like a little kid waiting for their birthday, or better yet, like a kid waiting on Santa Claus!!!! My Santa's name is Paul. It says 25 days.....amazing!!! Sunday I will have 19 days!!!!
JamesWifey 12-19-2005, 04:29 PM Hey Christina! :wave: Just checkin' in with you again! Girl when you said we'd have 19 days by Sunday I nearly fell out of my chair!! :haha: I cannot believe it! How are your homecoming preparations coming along?? What are you planning on doing after you pick him up??!
Crstnamre 12-19-2005, 05:36 PM I know its hard to wrap my mind around it too. I play with the dates all the time girl!! Like on the last day of this month (which IS only 12 days away) we will have 13 days and a wake up!!! Or how about this....as of Christmas...we will only have 2 weekends left and a Saturday wake-up!!! The mind is an amazing thing....mine won't shut up!!!! LOL. I am saving most of my big cleaning for that last week so I stay really busy...but I have been shopping, candles, a little something special to wear. The thing is, I am not picking him up, he is taking the train from Fresno, and the train from L.A.. Thats the way he wants it, I think he wants a minute to breathe...clear his head for a minute. He is a really deep man, so I am not questioning it. We have been together for a while before he went in so I am not even worried about it, thats just Paul. BUT...he is coming right here from the train and actually, it works out pretty well because then I can have my candles and the "little thing" on when he gets here. I am so excited. Oh my gosh, I am rambling!! We are so close JamesWifey!!! Its for real, after all this waiting its really almost over for us!!!
Hey Christina! :wave: Just checkin' in with you again! Girl when you said we'd have 19 days by Sunday I nearly fell out of my chair!! :haha: I cannot believe it! How are your homecoming preparations coming along?? What are you planning on doing after you pick him up??!
JamesWifey 12-19-2005, 05:45 PM Ohhhh La La!! :p Christina, Paul is going to love this! Your homecoming plans sound wonderful. I know what you mean about the cleaning. I like the idea you have about saving it for the last weekend so we keep our anxious behinds occupied right?! OK I'm going to borrow your idea about the candles! That is such a wonderful idea and one I never even thought of. Thanks! I cannot wait for James to call me! Girl, he doesn't even know that his release day is on th 13th. Boy is he going to freak. You know I'll be back many more times checking in with you over the next month. Keep em' coming!!!!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-19-2005, 06:09 PM Oh ya....I got some pumkin spice candles...they are yummy!!!! Yes..I left all my heavy cleaning for that last week so I will be extra busy because I am going to be fit to be tied and also I want to do my best to wear myself out so at the end of the day I might actually fall asleep. I am also leaving a string of Christmas lights up...make it a little festive and set the moooooood. Sigh......I love him so!!!! He doesnt even know he is getting released on the 13th!!! They don't tell them these things...lol!!! The yard Paul is on, all the phones are down, for maybe 3 weeks he wrote in his last letter. Thats ok, I am used to the no ph calls, we have only had one the whole time he has been locked up and I was just able to fix it so I could get calls. Of course now their phs are down. Oh well...I wont need a ph soon anyway. Arent you just feeling like a schoolgirl?? I swear I feel like squealing right now!!! :p

dboylove 12-19-2005, 07:21 PM Christine,
Just make sure you don't save TOO much cleaning to the last minute like I have......I am going crazy!! Somehow along the way I began keeping house like a frat boy!! LOL and now I have to back peddle!!! Well it is not THAT bad but it is much different than if he had been living here with me all along!!! One more day gone dear!!
Crstnamre 12-19-2005, 08:00 PM LOL!! Ya...me too, and I relized that it was way out of control a couple weeks back and have started to chip away at the disaster little by little. I have got down to the surfaces of furniture now and am just waiting to do the final cleaning and vacuuming behind, under....all that good stuff. And my windows...oh wow, because I smoke and have been smoking even more lately. Ok, I am off to bed. I wake up at 3:30-4am so I am worked!!!

Crstnamre 12-20-2005, 09:35 AM Awwwwww, I know what you mean...I have to force myself to NOT think in order to get any sleep and its getting harder and harder to do that the closer we get so I can only imagine the rough time sleeping you are having.

Crstnamre 12-20-2005, 11:10 AM Oh wow!! You love my ramblings!!! I have been losing my mind!!! This is my outlet, where I can say anything about this whole mess and not be judged. It has been a Godsend!!! It is great to know that you relate to all this....sometimes I feel so alone, I can't really talk to my family about all of this, they only can take so much...like 2 minutes, lol!!!!! Only 10 more days for you!! Single digits tomorrow!!! (Actually midnight:D ) Thanks for being here going through this with me!! Thank you for the support and friendship!! We are going to make this...its almost over!! I just have to keep telling myself that because I don't believe its true...IT IS ALMOST OVER!!!!!!! Think Paul will think I have lost my mind when he reads this thread?????

dboylove 12-20-2005, 03:37 PM I got a call from MCI high toll dept and the woman said they were blocking my line until I paid.....it was slightly immature but I told the woman I really don't give a damn.......she then said "well you do realize you won't be able to recieve any more correctional facility calls?" and I told her"He gets out in 4 days so I think I can live without your crappy service until then!!!" I know she was just doing her job but in my eyes she was representing one of the biggest evils I have had to deal with since he went to prison!!!! IT FELT GOOD!!!!!! Well Christine these days are flying by for me!! I hope you too!!
Crstnamre 12-20-2005, 06:39 PM Good for you!! I bet that did feel good!!! 4 more days at midnight!!! I will have 19 to go...this is sooooooo killing me. I hate waiting. But.....the homecoming will be worth it. OH BOY!!!!!! I am smiling ear to ear just thinking about it!!!!!!

I agree, this place is a godsend!! I can't really talk to my family about this either. But you are right, we ARE gonna make it. Girl you are almost to the "teens"!! I'm jumpin up and down for you and me both!! I tell myself everyday too that its almost over, but like u I still don't think I believe it. lol I will believe it in 9 days tho. AND when Paul reads your thread he will think "Wow, I have an amazing woman who loves me since she went through all this and still stuck by me!!" ...or something along those lines. lol
Take care girl!! Wooo Hoooo!!!! :thumbsup:
Crstnamre 12-21-2005, 10:26 AM I really cannot imagine how I would have made it through this all without all of you!!! Sunday will be 19!!! I can't believe you are in the single digits!!! OMG!!!! You are sooooo close!!!! I think he will think that too!!! I had the most awful night sleeping last night. I kept waking up all night, and well....at least I did make it till 8:30 because usually I have been waking up at 3:30, 4 am....which makes for a very long day and we dont need these days to be any longer huh??? I am so H.A.P.P.Y for us!!!!!!!

Crstnamre 12-21-2005, 03:10 PM I looked for a big red bow to put on for Pauls home coming and I could'nt find any big enough, or that I really liked....lol. I don't think its going to matter what I have on..its all coming off rather quickly I imagine:D. Today is really dargging by, it feels like it should be 4 -5 pm already and its only a little after 2pm:mad:. Hurry up hours...just roll on by!!!!
dboylove 12-21-2005, 04:02 PM Hey girl another one down!!!.....you know what I forgot? It is going to be that time of the month for me!!!! Damn..oh well nothing I can do....I am getting so so excited!! IThanks for being here!!
Crstnamre 12-21-2005, 06:35 PM Yup....another day almost hist-or-y!!! Ya, I read that in the other thread...I was dreading that myself and have been keeping track. But ya know, if it were me....it wouldnt matter anyways:D, it would still be ON!!!! Go with it girl....I am sure he wont be minding none. I am beside myself..between excitement and anxiety....every emotion in between!!! What a ride!!!! And my mood changes from minute to minute...its insane!!!
Hey girl another one down!!!.....you know what I forgot? It is going to be that time of the month for me!!!! Damn..oh well nothing I can do....I am getting so so excited!! IThanks for being here!!
Crstnamre 12-21-2005, 07:40 PM Today has seemed extra long!!! And I have officially decided that I hate the calendar. I spent about an hour altogether staring at the damn thing and ya know what?? It still says the same thing.:cool: I went and bought hair color today cause my roots are showing BADLY. Nothing to drastic, just a color pick me up...I have'nt been getting too much sun lately so its kinda drab. My gosh I am glad this day is almost over. I hope tomorrow is a better, seemingly faster moving day!!! God I miss Paul!!!! :(
JamesWifey 12-21-2005, 09:07 PM :wave: Hey sweetie! I lovvvee the idea of the big red bow! That is too cute :) Well I just wanted to say we are less than one hour from 22 days!!! Pretty soon we'll be in the teens, then single digits, then we lose our minds, then we enjoy our men for eternity!!!!!!! :haha: I am enjoying every minute of this countdown and it's so nice to have someone so sweet, interesting, and fun to count down with :yes:
dboylove 12-21-2005, 09:10 PM Get those roots spruced up Christine!!! I didn't do mine but all that shows with me is gray coming through the black!! I have too much for being 34!!! As for the sun, I really can't sympathize considering it was about 20 degrees here today!!! LOL I lost about 23 pounds now and I hope he notices and is excited!!! He knows I have been working on it but doesn't know the exact amount!!!! But like Linda said, roots, weight, sun, potatoe sack or period....nothing will matter!!! LOL I am sure you will look like the bell of the ball in his eyes!!! Tomorrow will be my last day home and everything for the most part is taken care of!! Maybe I can get some sleep tonight!! Take care!
Crstnamre 12-21-2005, 09:42 PM Hi Mari!!! If I could just find one big enough..I mean I am not huge, but the bows I have been finding...well he wouldnt even notice the bow lets say..lol!! I am west coast, so I have 3 and a half hours to go, but HOPEFULLY I will be asleep when 22 rolls around. Sunday.....19!!!! And by next Saturday we will only have 13 days!!!! I cannot say that I am enjoying every minute of the counting down really, it has its moments though and I am glad we are at this end of the wait...whew!!!! Awwww you are too kind, I don't know about the sweet so much, but the interesting I will go with....J/K!!! No seriously, you are a sweetheart too and I am so glad that we have each other to count down to such a special, unforgettable day!!!!
:wave: Hey sweetie! I lovvvee the idea of the big red bow! That is too cute :) Well I just wanted to say we are less than one hour from 22 days!!! Pretty soon we'll be in the teens, then single digits, then we lose our minds, then we enjoy our men for eternity!!!!!!! :haha: I am enjoying every minute of this countdown and it's so nice to have someone so sweet, interesting, and fun to count down with :yes:
Crstnamre 12-21-2005, 09:49 PM Ooooooo its cold there!!!!! I feel for you!!! I am just back to the weight I was when he got locked up. He doesnt like me too thin although I would be happier with losing 20 more. You are right, they are just going to be happy to see us no matter what we look like!!! So tomorrow is the last night alone in you're house....sigh......I am so happy for you!!!! You too, take care!! One more day crossed off!!!
Get those roots spruced up Christine!!! I didn't do mine but all that shows with me is gray coming through the black!! I have too much for being 34!!! As for the sun, I really can't sympathize considering it was about 20 degrees here today!!! LOL I lost about 23 pounds now and I hope he notices and is excited!!! He knows I have been working on it but doesn't know the exact amount!!!! But like Linda said, roots, weight, sun, potatoe sack or period....nothing will matter!!! LOL I am sure you will look like the bell of the ball in his eyes!!! Tomorrow will be my last day home and everything for the most part is taken care of!! Maybe I can get some sleep tonight!! Take care!
Crstnamre 12-22-2005, 09:34 AM What a tortured nights sleep!! That was awful!! I kept waking up. But on the positive side of things.....down to 22 and a wake up!!!
Crstnamre 12-22-2005, 10:49 AM This is how I feel already today....:) :( :) :( :) :( :D :( :) :) :( :( :D :) :) :) :( :D :D :( :eek: ....LOL!!!! Help??????
dboylove 12-22-2005, 01:34 PM I liked that Christine!! I have been feeling that way for about 2 weeks now!! Deep breaths!! Funny that you thought of this being my last night alone at home!! I said that to myself before I fell asleep last night "Only one more night in this big scary house all alone"!! Spooning with a boxer named Lucy wasn't all that bad though!! LOL See today is almost over!! That wasn't so bad now was it? Hang in there!!
Crstnamre 12-22-2005, 01:57 PM Its like a ride I cant get off!!!!! At least not yet. I have been having to remind myself to breathe, I catch myself holding my breath!!! Well it was you're last night home alone, that must be a wonderful feeling!!!!! I am looking forward to feeling that myself. Congrats mucho mucho!!! I LMAO when you talked about spooning with a boxer named Lucy!!!! I have my Cassius Clay (KaKa for short) he is my kitty, my baby and he has helped me get through this whole ordeal....my wittle lover kitty!!! He misses Paul too, when I have Pauls letters out, he lays on them and rolls around on them and then passes out on them, lol. Yup 1pm already here..today is going faster than yesterday, thank heaven. I am so excited for you!!! This nightmare is just about over for both of you!!!!

Brettsgurl 12-22-2005, 02:27 PM Wow just 22 days left! I know what you mean about reminding yourself to breath cause I am going though that too! Just keep yourself busy and the time will go by faster!
dboylove 12-22-2005, 02:32 PM Tonight is my last night!! I said about one month ago in one of my posts that I felt like a kid standing in line for a new roller coaster. You don't know what the heck to expect!! Lucy was depressed when Danny left..she lost weight and slept in the chair in front of the door looking for him!! I even had to spell his name if I was talking to someone!! It was crazy!! I love the name of your kitty!! Pets work wonders in times like these!! Breathe!!
Crstnamre 12-22-2005, 04:48 PM I know I wont be sleeping AT all when I get as close as you are. Awwwww she got depressed. Sounds like she is going to be a happy girl too!!!! Ya, he was named that because he is a little balls out boxer kitty!!! He has always been my baby, he was a dumpster baby. I just got a really wonderful letter from Paul. He is getting very excited. Up until just this letter, he really wasnt talking to much about the "when he comes home". This letter was all about how much he just wants to hold me and misses me. And how short we are getting. I can tell he is feeling it now. I miss him so much. I cried all over the letter. Come on Christmas...hurry up and be done!!!

JamesWifey 12-22-2005, 04:52 PM Tomorrow brings 20 days a wake up! Can you friggin' believe that?! Would you mind if I ate that candycane on your counter? Or how about we just move it to 5 days LOL! I am so glad to hear you received such a lovely letter from Paul! Doesn't it just make ya all mushy inside? I received a great one from James yesterday too! Girl, I think we are going on strike once the postage stamp goes up to .35 cents! That'll just be ONE WEEK without mail! By then we'll really be out of our minds anyway! :haha:
dboylove 12-22-2005, 05:06 PM Danny just let himself get excited about Monday!! So what Paul is doing is normal......imagine the emotions he is going through!! They have to be scared to death to!! So he is taking a train home to you? That is quite romantic!! Like the old movies!!! LOL
Crstnamre 12-22-2005, 05:19 PM I know...it is good to see that he is getting excited. I know that this is hard for him too though. He is a real sensitive person, very caring and thoughtful so I know he is feeling this deep. Ya, it is kinda like the old movies isnt it....I am so excited. I think I will sleep better than I have been tonight, I always do on the days I get letters from him. He is very romantic.

Crstnamre 12-23-2005, 03:19 PM Wow....my heart feels like its going to just beat right on out of my chest!!!! This day is moving right along...not too long and drawn out. I can't believe that this day next week we will be at 13 days and a wake up!!!!! Please..oh lawd, hurry up and get there already!!! Lets just skip Christmas this year, next year will be much nicer, lets just wait till then for it. My whole family is going to my sisters in laws and I was invited, but I am not going. Everyone tells me to go and have a good time....but, its not going to happen. I am staying home. I don't even mind not going. Not one bit. I will celebrate the birth of Jesus and the passing of another day all by myself thank ya very much...lol!!!
Crstnamre 12-23-2005, 04:26 PM No...I cannot believe it!! I am in a state of shock....24/7 now. LMAO!!! Yes, eat the candycane....get rid of the darn thing, thats one way to do it!! Ahhhhh, if only the imagination could rule the world. I never even thought of that, the postage does go up in January huh?? I have to mail Pauls birthday card I am thinking around the 2nd or 3rd so he gets it by the 11th. Kinda sucks he will be released 3 days after his bday....geez, they could at least kick him 3 days early!!!:D Riiiiiiight!!!!! I love it when he tells me all the sweet things, he is so romantic!!!!
