Hey,

How are you? Hope you are doing well. Have been feeling like a bit of a loner of late, so I have been checking in here but not as often. Feel drained lately and I sometimes find reading all the problems here drains me. Does that sound strange? I do find comfort knowing others are going through the same kind of thing and I do gain strength from others successes/stories but then there are the times I just feel overwhelmed from reading it all.

Anyway, how could I not send a note to get your AI feedback? I was happy for Fantasia. She is amazing but I did like Diana too. I felt kinda bad for her, although she will probably do well and get herself a record deal too. Who am I too feel sorry for her huh? At 16 years old I was deciding which boy I should like. And at 33 I am still deciding that. Not much has changed. (LOL)

Thought of you last night as I was watching it. ;)

Hope you are doing well. Thinking of you.

xo!

Hey there! Good to hear from you!! I've been wondering how you've been doing.

I have been feeling really great this week! Like I'm really putting XMM in the past. I don't even know how to explain it. However, I know that strong feeling does not always last, so I've got my guard up. But for now I'm enjoying the feeling. I know what you mean about getting drained sometimes; I actually think I need to stay away from the posts from the brand new people who are just going through the fresh pain, although I feel bad because I know they need support. Had an eye-opener yesterday -- visited the "My Affair" board for the first time ever, and was really hit by how clueless people seem -- and I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I just mean they have no idea what they are in for, and I sometimes wish I could go back to that clueless state of bliss, but now I *know* I could never go back. That's a good feeling, too.

I'm sad AI is over, mainly because it was fun to get into it with my 8-year-old. He loved it. We voted for Fantasia 12 times on Tuesday night. ;-) I snuck him out of bed last night to watch the announcement. I did want her to win because I thought she was by far the most talented, but realize I would never buy a CD by her or any of the finalists, really!

Well, hang in there girlfriend! Thanks for checking in. :) Have a great weekend.
