- So I went out to dinner after getting back from the parents house last night. Sat at the Olive Garden's bar and had a really good Steak Gorgonzola pasta. I was sitting a few seats away from a couple having dinner. They were sitting at 90 degrees to me, it was quiet, and I could hear almost everything they said. It was obviously a first date. The curious thing was that I learned some of the more basic info for only one of them. The guy. I eaves-dropped quite a bit of their conversation and not once did he ask anything about her. Nothing. I know how many marriages the guy has had, how many kids, their ages & boy/girl spread, what he does for a living, the unconventional way he got the nice clothes he was wearing, how he's wrecked the last 2 trucks he's owned, and what he thinks about her ass. The one and only thing I learned about her was that she's been married twice. That's it. And she volunteered that info! He didn't ask. How sad is that. I really hope he didn't get any...



- Christmas day was good. Got to spend it with my parents and my girlies...and my stbx. The day was very nice. We played a lot of Wii bowling (my 6 yr old threw a 214!) and some card games. The evening was interesting though. We all understood that I was going to stay overnight and the stbx was going home, as she had stayed overnight Christmas Eve. Well, when the time came for her to leave, she suddenly 'got sick' and started acting like a little kid. She may have been sick, but it was probably from the wine she'd had over the previous few hours. She wasn't drunk so I didn't have any problem kicking her out. It was a scene. We ended up having a 'discussion' on the front porch in the 30 degree weather, with her trying to resolve our marital issues. *sigh* I finally went inside and left her standing there. She sat in her car for a solid hour before she finally left. But other than that, Christmas was nice.


- Oh, and we also had a plumbing issue right before everyone started getting ready for bed. We figured it out and fixed it, saving a Christmas visit from the plumber.



- I think I just overheard a coworker say "Alrighty then" to a customer over the phone. And it wasn't intended to be funny.


- I got a nice big fryer pan with a cover from my parents (which is what I asked for.) They also gave me a loveseat that they didn't have room for in their new place. Score! It crowds my tiny place a little, but I really missed having a couch. Now I have places to seat more than 2 people!

- Oh, and check this out... during out little discussion, the stbx said (talking about her infidelity. Yeah, even that came up. Sheesh.), that "Yes, I made a mistake, but it's different for a woman."

Ummm..wha? Like as in it doesn't mean you cheated on me? or that it shouldn't have hurt me? or that it was ok because you are a woman?

She spent all day doing something good towards repairing the damage and threw it all out the window with that one statement.

- Her birthday's coming up. Should I get her a stack of psychiatrist business cards?
