So there you go...were you all properly convinced? Did I get you good? You know I did...you totally bought it. =D

Yesterday I posted that I was leaving James and moving to Europe. For those of you who didn't note the date - YES, this _was_ my lame attempt at an April Fool's Joke.

I was going to let it go for a couple days and then laugh, but due to certain technical difficulties that I didn't intend, this got out of hand and caused a lot of distress.

Therefore - To Amanda: I am trusting that your note this morning was not a counter April Fool's intended to get my goat, and therefore I am _very_ sorry. I honestly didn't expect this to be this believable and I didn't know the phones weren't properly receiving calls. I thought that your LACK of knowledge about my post or its contents would damage my credibility and point out that this was a joke. Unfortunately it had the opposite effect.

( To Everyone Else )

I should have stuck with posting that I was pregnant...

I am curious however - a) am I really the kind of person who would leave my husband and the country without talking to my room mates first and b) do James and I really appear to be sufficiently unhappy (or at least distant) enough that I would be leaving him? (I know people don't completely get the open marriage thing, but my flirtations don't mean I don't love him...)

ok, so this is going to probably come as a shock to a lot of people, but it's time to tell you all...

( It's over )
