Good morning! How was your weekend? What are you looking forward to this week?
My weekend was nice. Spent Saturday morning hiking, Saturday afternoon with family, and all day Sunday with family and lots of food for Easter. This week I'm looking forward to sprucing up the outside of my house, lots of walks with my pup, and fun happy hours with friends!
Friday, I almost didn't go out but I am glad I did as I met a pretty nice guy and got his number. Saturday, the weather was fabulous and I went to a bridal shower, then ran errands. When I was done with that, I texted the guy from the bar and met up with him at the lake. We talked for a while and made out a lot. Then got the kids back a day early b/c stbx had to work. Sunday I unpacked all of the living room and cleaned, then the kids and I went to the park. Then after their bath we had a nice ham dinner and watched the last unicorn. Then all went to bed and I drank wine with my mini eggs.
My weekend was pretty great! I'm bummed to be at work today because most people are off for the marathon. Friday I took off because ds's daycare was closed. We went to breakfast and ran errands. Then family came over for dinner and the kids colored eggs. Saturday- Did my long run. Ds had soccer. It was bf's bday I gave him the boudoir pictures I had done for him and he loved them. We went to a really nice dinner at night. Sunday-Ds woke up super early because he was excited about easter. Hung out with him, my ex-mil took him for a few hours so I went to the gym. Then ds and I went to Easter dinner with bf's family, it was a really nice day and weekend. Went by too quickly!

This weekend was fantastic! I went to a fundraiser "yappy hour" with my dog on Friday night. Proceeds benefited our rescue group. Saturday, we went to the park with the dog and stayed there most of the afternoon. Saturday night we hung out with good friends. Yesterday, went to FI's Mom's house in the AM, then I did school work. We played basketball and then winded down toward the end of the night.
As for looking forward to something this week, I am looking forward to tomorrow night, after class, because then I will be done giving my presentation. I don't like public speaking.
Great weekend but damn am I pooped. Still a bunch of stuff to unpack but most is done! I got a last minute (and FREE) sofa bed from my neighbors who are moving. So instead of a dark brown leather loveseat which is nice but, well, dark and leather...I have a gorgeous white full size sofa bed. Excited to see everything taking shape in here!
Friday's beer tasting was a success and Tux came and met my friends. Saturday I shopped and had lunch with a friend then went to dinner with Tux. Last night I went to the game and my friend and I wore bunny ears. ESPN came by and we were on TV! It was really fun and my phone was blowing up all night from people who saw us.
Still the weekend here. Marathon Monday is in full effect and I"m off to Fenway Park for the game then Marathon party with Tux possibly.
Friday night I stayed home and didn't do much. I was out Wednesday and Thursday nights and felt too wiped out to do anything. I think I read some and watched TV.
Saturday I talked to my mom on the phone for a while, spent probably an hour playing a game online with my BF, and then met a girlfriend for happy hour. Later that evening BF and I had dinner and watched hockey at home.
Sunday I dyed eggs with my BF and made hot cross buns for the first time ever (I guess that's an English thing?), which turned out ok. Spent most of the day on that and reading "Insurgent". Took the dogs on a nice walk and finished out the day watching Game of Thrones. I felt kind of bummed because even though it was a nice day, I knew my family was together (4 hours away) and I kind of wished I had gone home to see them, even though I was glad not to be out of town for the weekend. It's days like Easter that I wish my family was closer so I could do the holiday dinner thing but not have to give up my entire weekend to do it.

Fairly lazy weekend. It was nice.
Watched a movie at home on Friday night.
Saturday, did a whole bunch of cleaning the house and unpacking wedding presents, then went out for dinner and a movie (Transcendence--it was pretty good).
Sunday, had a lazy morning and went to a movie afternoon/evening at a friend's house.
I did not, however, get any thank you notes written. Need to work on that.
Friday - Went out to dinner and then the casino with stbxh. Since separating we have gone pretty much every payday. Saturday - Bought a new cell phone and switched to my own plan. I'm currently second guessing this and I may end up doing a family plan with stbxh because it will save me like $50 a month. Sunday - Easter dinner. My brother came over with his wife and stbxh came over for ham dinner. It was so effing good. It was my Dad's first time making it since my mom isn't healthy enough and he did a great job.
I am looking forward to a girls dinner on Thursday. I bought an adorable little onesie for my friend's little girl and I can't wait to give it to her. I may even go crazy and order a cocktail

I say this with love, you are setting yourself up for huge heartbreak with all if this. He's not your buddy. It will be in your best interest to try and make a very distinct line with him.

Weekend was good. Friday was a chilled out night. The rest of the weekend was busy and I was burning the candle at both ends.
On Saturday, I had some work done on my car and ran errands. I also worked on a campaign. Later, my friend and I went out and partied. We had a blast. I wouldn't do that all the time but, man, we had fun. We always seem to have fun together. She is great.
On Sunday, I spent the morning with my family. Later, I went out and got some exercise outside. I spent the evening studying until I fell asleep. I crashed and slept really hard so I feel good now.
This morning I ran a couple of cute springy dresses to the dry-cleaner's before working.
Friday I chilled at home with my pups and watched movies Saturday cleaned my house, ran some easter errands, baked my cakes, went to chelsea handler and dinner Sunday got up bright and early to get the ham in at my moms house, celebrated easter, came down incredibly sick and struggled through completing a work assignment last night.
It was a nice weekend but as usual, never long enough. Did some studying, celebrated Easter with the family, had a little Hockey party for the Wild game and saw gault 's new apartment.

My thoughts exactly. Especially don't tie yourself into a contract on a phone with him.
It wouldn't be an actual contract, so I'd be able to split from it at any point if things took a turn and just switch to an individual plan, he already looked into it. I think we are both sort of making this crap up as we go since the only divorces we know have turned ugly and we both honestly care about each other so we don't want that. We should probably go back to the once a week dinners we were doing in the beginning so I could see the dogs. I need to find other people who will go out with me so I don't have to depend on him as my sole form of entertainment. Where does an adult meet new friends?
Took a friend to a movie/dinner combo place Friday night to see Transcendence. Horrible movie. Awful. But the food, drinks, and company were good so all was not lost.
Saturday slept in and then had lunch at one of my favorite spots. It was still rainy so we decided to go see a movie. Saw the new Disney documentary Bears....loved it!
Saturday night I stayed in and caught up on Downton Abbey.
Sunday was so beautiful outside! I went for a super long walk in a swanky neighborhood and daydreamed about owning one of the big beautiful houses. Then I came home and did a bit of cleaning. Sunday night I met up with some friends for Mexican food. Really, really nice weekend all around.
This week I am looking forward to cocktails tonight to catch up with my girlfriend and then bowling after that!
Oh I forgot to share my random from the weekend - I was kind of in the middle of a high speed chase.
Driving down the road, on my way to gault's last night when out of no where there is the black SUV charging at my car. I was in the left lane doing 45 (the speed limit) so I put my blinjer on to move to the right lane and I thought dude might rear-end me. He flys over to the right lane as I am doing so. so I quickly jump back into the left lane. Next I see flashing lights in my rear view mirror and think black SUV is trying to get out of the way of the cops.
Nope - black SUV is fleeing. 2 stes of cop cars come flying past me on the right at high speed.
I learned this AM from the newspaper that the chase got up over 100mph but thankfully A) no one got hurt and B) the cops finally stopped the bastard.

holy scary! I would have had to pull over and cry.

I repeat, he is not your buddy. What's going to happen when he meets someone new and you're left in the dust? You need to have your own people. He's not your people. Eta: it will be easier for YOU to be in control over that vs. him making the call. Trust
Weekend was good, mostly! Friday I laid pretty low.
Saturday, worked out and then we flew to Boston. DS got sick because of the turbulence and ended puking on the plane and me. I cleaned it up but due to the gross factor and turbulence I ended up puking too...but I made it to the bathroom!
Sunday we toured Boston and had a blast!
Today I took the beasts to the Salem Witch Museum and saw my mom finish the Boston marathon! It's been a great day!

Oh there will be lots of posts coming from me soon about how to find new people. Mine are all married and raising young kids so not exactly what a newly single childfree person is looking for. This has been a life long issue for me so it will definitely be a struggle but I've been gradually easing my way back into the real world for the last year so hopefully that progress will continue and stbxh will become less and less present. I'm going on my first ever solo vacation in July

I hear you, but you've gotta cut ties!
We'll get together soon, ok?
Count me in. I like long walks on the beach at sunset...or wait, I hate walking. I like sitting on my arse at a restaurant surrounded by deep fried everything
