My cold is starting to get better today (finally- I was totally sick for our lodge/ winery anniversary celebration, so it did not in fact include ANY wine 
)
DH is off today and tomorrow, the kids are on spring break next week.
So today we went for haircuts. Before we went I searched online for what style I wanted (a short sixties wedge in the back/bob in the front cut) and it turned out JUST like I wanted it to! Then we went a cool little coffee shop for lunch.
I have lost three pounds, mostly thanks to my cold ruining my appetite, but also I believe thanks to some revelations this week about what I can do best to help SD (as in STEP BACK- YEA! My favorite!)
So I am feeling much sexier with vixen hair style (instead of shoving clips and hair bands into split-end filled, flat/wavey mess) and a little bit looser jeans 
Oh- almost forgot! DH got a new job that is a lot closer, and with a very successful co (current co is merging and in fiscal trouble) he is very excited about this opportunity, and still thinks he can get the three days off to take me to my prospective student conference for a religious studies masters I want to begin next year.
And...only one month til my wonderful women's writers retreat with two friends I've known since we were 14!
Just thought I would share something positive with everyone!
Woohoo!
Who is that flashy, thin, fulfilled woman?
I like her!!!!

You deserve the new you. Great things are coming your way!
It's about time...
things started looking up.

Good for you!
You deserve it
COOL!
I hope i've lost some weight too, as my flu turned into mild pneumonia; got a weigh in today!! no new hairdo yet though; that will be when the "economic stimulus package" comes in!
Sounds Great
Sounds like things are going well for you. I admire your courage for chopping off your hair - maybe it will transfer : ) I think a new look and a few less pounds can do nothing but good!
Stepping back is hard - so good luck with that. I had to leave to step back. It is nice to detach. I hope someday she'll realize that I did love her, but those days are pretty far off.
I'm glad your DH got a better, closer job - lots of change going on with you and yours and it all sounds great!
Thanks to all
I couldn't have done it without the support of everyone here. I equate this place with self therapy. We get to vent, get feedback, hear other tales of woe and contribute with feedback ourselves. It's really a way to allow us to process things and try different on perspectives.
I must step back from here a little the next few weeks as I try to motivate myself to get some thing accomplished. But that doesn't mean I'm not reading and won't post at all. If anyone has anything pressing that you would like me to see, please PM me so I don't miss your post.
Peace, love, and red wine
