My X is now REALLY an X
« on: May 17, 2005, 12:13:29 PM »
Hi All,

I went to court this morning for the finalizing of the divorce.  I had great concerns of breaking down which I absolutely did not want to do in front of him.  

The good news is, I never even came close.  I looked at him on the stand and I was actually able to smile and think Thank God its over.  I actually thought he looked really bad.  He's gained back all the weight that he originally lost for the OW and then some.  The chins are in the triple category right now.  He appeared very downtrodden, but that may have been just an act.

I however, looked fabulous, thin, blond and ready to start the next phase of my life.  I arrived in my new (to me) cute little convertible (too cold to put the top down) that I bought myself as a early birthday present.

I think I am going to be just fine, but I don't think I can say the same for him.

Three dear friends are taking me out to dinner tonight to "celebrate."  I wasn't sure I would be able to term it that originally, but now I feel it is the perfect word.

Blessings to you all and many thanks for all the support you have given me.  There is certainly more rough road to travel, but its getting smoother and I'm beginning to see the rainbow on the horizon.

Hugs,

Brigid  :D  :D

Brigid...Congratulations!  My divorce is still crawling along but should happen soon.  I'm glad to hear you're going out with your friends.  I will plan to do the same!  Bittles

My work colleague was magnanimous enough to attend the recent engagement party of her ex.  They both fell around laughing when they discovered they were not 'legally' divorced.....

Brigid,

Mazel tov. I think it is a time to celebrate. You've gotten rid of this overweight ball and chain. Your new life is going to be great. I'm so happy for you. :-)

He's on his way down and you're on your way up. Good riddance to the fat tub of lard.

Many thanks to all of you for your kind wishes.  :D  :D

Mudpup,

No, I do not have to cook tonight.  The kids are on their own and I'm going to have something very expensive and decadent.  (I'm praying they have crab legs on the menu tonight  :o )

A VW bug in the lime green metallic.  My daughter and I have always loved that color and I have loved bugs since I had my first one (in bright orange) in 1969.  She absolutely flipped out when I brought it home the other night.  It was great to see the look on her face.  I am LOVING it and she and I look so adorable driving around town with the top down (well, at least she does). :lol:  :lol:  My son thinks its a little girly and I reminded him that he never had to drive it, if it made him uncomfortable.

Brigid,

Congratulations! :D Really glad you're seeing the rainbow again! I had a similar experience with my ex (i.e. I looked gorgalicious (new word which should be in the dictionary hehehe) and he looked like he'd been slapped in the face with a wet fish and the result was permanent! (No he's not an N but he was a real a$$ towards the end...)

They say the best revenge is living well (or something along those lines) and you are doing a great job. The car sounds fabulous btw!

Much love,

(((())))

Ding Dong the witch is dead!  I am happy for you Brigid.  And it's good that you are realistic and know there will still be some rough times ahead.  And as was noted earlier by 2cents, the best revenge is living well.  Hope you were able to get those crab legs!

Had a wonderful dinner with my girlfriends.  (Unfortunately, no crab legs, but great shrimp scampi  :D ).

I wish there was an emoticon that blew kisses.  

Hugs and Kisses to you all.
