...Althea!!!!!

For her stellar portrayal of loving, concerned girlfriend when FDH came home and morosely told her that BM is planning to move far, far away with SD and he'll never see her again.

So while I was doing my inner happy dance, I consoled him with talk of Skype and spring break and Christmas vacation and weeks at a time during the summer. He felt better, I think. But then my elation fell as I realized that nothing BM says like this comes true, usually.

Please, please let this be the time she actually follows through on something. For the love of all that is holy, Universe, do not tease me this way!!

(by the way, mid-performance my mind did wander to step talk and I pictured myself as one of the group dealing with the vacationing skid)
