So it's unclear what base (if any) ole' SIL (J's sister) reached on her vacation.
What I DO know, though, (via J) is that this dude asked her to stay another week so they could do "western" things together-riding horses, etc.... SHE DECLINED!!!! Alright. You hate your job (and are contemplating quitting it), spend every waking moment b*tching about being eternally single & are miserable about every aspect of your life BECAUSE you are single-What the h*ll does this girl have to lose?
She reasoned that she'd just take a full week "some other time." She never will. Is this self-sabotage? A risk-averse character trait that results in failing to carpe diem at life's most critical moments?
Perhaps I'm overdramatizing her mistake. Perhaps I just really wanted her to spend the holidays out west. Perhaps I wanted to enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner in peace. Perhaps this is more about me & my hopes/dreams and less about her.
Anyway, last night I got a phone call from a prviate number at 1:40am. I had been in bed for like hours. We went to watch the Notre Dame game (which I could take/leave) w 2 friends. The night was really sober & boring for me. At half time & I came home and promptly passed out- true to my pregnant nature. So when my phone rang at 1:40am, I got creeped out. Back in the day, my night was just beginning at 1:40.

I'm confused--it sounds like it's better for you that she declined. I thought he asked if she could stay an extra week--as in this week. So, if she declined now, then maybe she'll go over the holidays. I mean, she might not have a ton of time off and it seems like she comes home sort of often...so maybe she's running out of vacation time.
As you can tell, i'm still holding out hope.
I like that he asked her to do "western things" though. That's one of the most romantic things I've heard in awhile.
I hadn't considered the romance of it, but you're right. It is romantic. The idea of someone wanting to be romantic w her is so foreign to me. Maybe he's "the one"!
Also, I'm going to hold out hope w you- maybe she will pick the holidays. I will keep you all posted!
Did you find out his "status?" I mean, considering who we're talking about, I'm with you--he could have like 5 wives and 30 children and I'd be like--go for it. Anyway, I do kind of hope he's single though because then there's a better chance he doesn't have holiday plans other than "doing western things" with his special lady. Also...much better chance that he's "the one" and will take her far, far away.
Due to my self-induced 3 month hiatus from the ole' fam & j's desire to NOT encourage follow up phone calls, we're unsure. But all signs point to single. He originally left Chi-town to move west for his gf after heavy flirting w SIL. 6 months later he finds out SIL is planning a trip west & invites her to stay w him. If he moved out west to be w his gf, they were probably living together. So my guess is they broke up. She told me all this before the surprise party.
My ears are wide open, though & I'll be sure to spread the word.
