Hi! I did go, and it was fine. I really like the couple who hosted, and their kid is a hoot, so I forced myself to rally. I really enjoyed the other couple that was there -- they're fun and interesting. Had kind of a weird interaction with this girl who is Thor's friend's girlfriend. She's always been pleasant before, so I'm guessing it just came out wrong, but she pretty much just walked up to me and was like, "So. I guess your divorce is final if you guys are living together now." Um. It's been final for over a year, thanks.
She was out of town for 6 months, but still. I was divorced long before she left. I didn't love her tone, but I'm not certain it was intentional. It felt judgy, but what do I know? I haven't seen her since April; maybe I'm just not used to her delivery.
It certainly didn't ruin the night, though! I'm pretty good at letting things roll off of my back. And we were home by 10, so I was able to get good sleep.

She kind of has this perpetual disapproving mom thing going on. Which is funny, since I'm older than her.

I HATE people like that. Even if they have no idea where you're coming from or have been through similar things, they'll act as if they have and pass judgement or give unsolicited advice. The prez at my company is like this and acts like the all knowing authority on everything from divorce/custody battles to nutrition to you name it. Reality is she's been through very little adversity in her life and things have pretty much gone as she'd like. But she always has advice or an opinion to throw out there.
And, I have to add, of course she is trying to touch your boobs because they're FABULOUS. I don't blame her. Oops, did I say that?
