So, my almost ex-husband is gone on business for 4 days. What should I do?

[SarahB]

Not to mention, I should be signing my lease tomorrow and should be finally be moving at the end of next week. :D

[ET Awful]

I had to go with "weird guy" because hey, I'm a guy

and I'm weird :)

[SarahB]

37. Yeah for weird guys!

:bounce:

[RT Atlanta]

1. Test the waters as a swingin' single again! :) n/t

[SarahB]

36. Err... uh.... already tested.

As usual, another disaster. :nuke:

[elfin]

2. If he is allergic to cats and you don't have one ---

Borrow one and have it roll all over his stuff - then send cat back to friend with lots of toys.

[SarahB]

38. Nope, I tend to be the allergy person.

:(

[Dhalgren]

3. I think that you should definitely have a guy.

Someone you know. Someone you like. Then ride him like a trick pony for the next 4 days. Hey, you gotta start somewhere... :hi:

[the Princess]

12. I second that!!

Yee Haw baby!! Have some good old fun!

[two gun sid]

22. Self-Delete for stupidity

[SarahB]

39. Sometimes easier said than done.

There's only about one available person I know who'd be up for it, but the way he is he'd end up all clingy. It'd be nice to find someone who'd be up for uncomplicated visits and then hit the road when I tell him to without some sort of issue, but that is always easier said than done.

[Dhalgren]

44. Ahhh, but the search must go on...

[SarahB]

54. Ain't that the truth?

There's something to be said for taking some time, but there's also the problem of collecting so much dust under your feet that you're afraid to get back on the ride. Kind of a balance in figuring it all out at times.

[Dhalgren]

55. You sound to me like you will be alright.

One of these days some lucky fellow is going to be a real lucky fellow - you just wait and see...

[MissMarple]

4. Go out to lunch, go shopping and buy cute shoes and cropped pants..

Then go to a bookstore and get something really great to read. Pick up something tasty and already cooked for dinner. :-)

[fudge stripe cookays]

28. THEN....

get laid.

I girl's gotta live a little! Shopping and sex is about as decadent as it gets!

[SarahB]

33. Sometimes though....

A hard man is good to find good man is hard to find. :P

[demnan]

5. I know I'm weird

but I opted for Ikea. Nothing lifts your spirts like buying furniture . . . nothing!

[the Princess]

9. mmmmmmmmmmmm maybe

I know one thing that works better. LOL

[kick-ass-bob]

6. 3,2,1.

In that order.

:D

[SarahB]

52. It'll probably be 5, 6, 2, 1.

:crazy:

[bunk76]

7. Ms.Belle....

how weird must you be to qualify,for those that would like to toss their weirdness into the ring? :crazy:

[the Princess]

8. Hey!

Where you been??????

[SarahB]

29. Pretty weird apparently.

Given my recent and past history anyway, I'm apparently too weird for the majority of them. :crazy:

[Terran]

10. LOL, "weird guy", how amusing

To your ex, any guy but him is going to be weird...how just like a man (and I am one).

Anyway, I voted for the weird guy. Have some fun!

[SarahB]

41. Yep, isn't that the truth?

:eyes: (eyes directed at him, not you by the way)

[AllegroRondo]

11. Yard Sale!

I'm sure he has lots of excess stuff he doesnt really need any more.

[SarahB]

42. Get rid of all that Yankee crap.

:7

[LynneSin]

13. Technically aren't you still dead?

At least in his eyes?

[SarahB]

27. That was allegedly an accident.

:eyes:

[LynneSin]

32. well, if you don't post here everyday, I"m calling 9/11 & People Magazine

m'kay!

[SarahB]

43. I appreciate it.

I'm glad people have my back sometimes. :)

[Amaya]

14. I vote for

drink wine while we whine :hi: ;)

[SarahB]

35. Whatcha doing Friday?

:D

[Amaya]

68. Friday sucks

Saturday is good tho :D

[SarahB]

69. He gets back Saturday.

Not until around midnight though. :7

Soon. Soon. Soon. Soon. :bounce:

[supernova]

15. Have a packing party with your friends.

:D Enjoy yourself. You've earned it. :D

[SarahB]

45. That'd be fun.

I wish I could go out and get some of the new stuff I need NOW, but I don't want to move it twice. It's been a long, long road. :(

[Squeech]

16. Yay!

You found a place! :grouphug:

Too bad you don't know any weird guys :silly:

There's a lot to be said about dingbatism.

[SarahB]

53. I know lots of weird guys.

Too many of which aren't in my near vicinity. ;)

[SOteric]

17. Rent some chick flicks,

get a big bottle of wine, or a six pack of those flavoured wine spritzers and a take out pizza and have a bunch of your girlfriends over to yatter, eat pizza, pack, drink wine, yatter, pack, watch movies, yatter, and pack.

[DS1]

19. Aka

:rant: :grouphug: :boring:

/SOteric Smilieblast

[SOteric]

20. *LOL* - 'zactly!

[SarahB]

30. Great smilies!

:D

[politicat]

18. Combination: Drink wine with weird guys and chicks while you pack.

You'll feel better being able to get out (BTDT, trust me) quickly and efficiently. So call the friends, get the boxes, and make it a party.

Many hands make light work, so you'll get the packing done faster, can bitch and whine at leisure (and will probably end up laughing a bit, too) then you can have great amounts of fun with the free time.

Step away from the IKEA site. Put it down slowly. You can do it.....

On edit: Congratulations and good luck. You've been amazing getting through this. You have my utter admiration.

[SarahB]

48. Thank you.

I'll be ok. I have everything in place now, but it's been quite a road. :)

[liontamer]

21. advertise yourself as a recent widow, pick up new guys

;)

[SarahB]

46. LOL!!!

:woohoo:

[two gun sid]

23. Throw a party, wreck the place...

hell, you're moving in a couple of days so why should you care?

Seriously, I wish you all the luck in the world. What you are going through is hard.

[SarahB]

34. Yeah, but I have kids that'll still live here 1/2 the time.

Otherwise... :evilgrin:

[Floogeldy]

24. How bout you and me getting a couple bottles of liquor and renting a motel

room?

B-) }(

[fudge stripe cookays]

31. That's what I love about you, Floo.

Your amazing subtlety and turn of phrase.

:spray:

[SarahB]

40. So, just where are you?

:evilgrin:

[jandrok]

25. Trash his shit and change the locks.

THEN invite some weird guys over.

[SarahB]

51. I'm too nice for that.

In my dreams though. :grr:

[Freebird12004]

26. All of the above !

... and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere as you go about moving on :hug:

:woohoo: that's great news about your new place !

[SarahB]

50. Yeah, probably.

I think I'm a little burnt out with the male gender these days (no offense to any decent ones out there), so it'll probably in reality be all except #3.

[Freebird12004]

72. They're still out there - somewhere.

Now is the time to be gentle with yourself, take a long walk in the fresh spring air and just breath deeply for a few moments .

Tomorrow is another day :hug:

[yellowcanine]

47. Drain the bank accounts and max out the credit cards with cash advances...

Squirrel it all away in an offshore account.

[SarahB]

49. Finances already separate... darn it.

;)

[edbermac]

56. MOVE YOUR HOUSE!!!

Why just take some furniture? Just jack it ALL up and hit the road! That'll teach him a lesson...:woohoo:

[SarahB]

59. Good one!

:thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

57. Hey! I'm not weird!

I'm really pretty normal.

Hee! :hi:

[SarahB]

58. You comin' over?

:D

[GOPisEvil]

67. Don't I wish.

You'll have to settle for Boston on the 22nd-25th. :D

[Wapsie B]

60. Whatever your heart desires at the moment.

Enjoy the moment. Advice I need to live by as well.

[SarahB]

63. Have a great time in Cleveland!

:hi:

[Wapsie B]

64. Thank you!

I certainly will! :bounce:

I'm going to take it easy. You do that too. :hi:

[BikeWriter]

61. I dunno about your husband, but when I was married...

if I'd found a man in my house the results would not have been pleasant...

[SarahB]

62. Our divorce is final in 6 weeks.

Hence the title "almost ex". No plans for any guys around though. :hi:

[BikeWriter]

66. That's good I hope it's amicable and you wound up happier.

I know how heartbreaking those things can be, ;-(

(ededed fur spaling)

[SarahB]

70. It could be worse.

I suppose the practical stuff is going well and aside from "accidentally" calling himself a widower on internet dating sites and reminding me as much as possible how much he still loves and how awful I am for not wanting to remain married to him, hey, it's great.

At least the practical stuff is going well. I just learned to bite my tongue with him a long, long time ago.

[Longgrain]

65. Ask me, I might have some ideas...

:7

[SarahB]

71. Hmmmm.....

:think:????

[Jack Rabbit]

73. The one and only, most obvious answer

:party: :party: :party: :party: :party:
Party!!
