Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums Midlife Crisis Learning to play

I love to go out in the ocean and just jump up and down in the waves. And where I live, it is free!

I like to sing along with old (60s and 70s) rock.

S14 is often trying to get me to play Monopoly or some other board game with it, and I don't say yes often enough. Every time I do, I remember how fun it can be.

Great thread ms angelica.

Hugs all.
AH

I used to take ice-skating lessons in Queensbury after school.

It was so much fun!!!

That sounds like so much fun. What's a lemon?

A - Great thread!



Upside - I could have written every word of this. When I contacted at DB coach he told me to write 50 things that I wanted to do in my life with no editing. It was such a struggle and I never got even close to 50.

I had to ice skate several years ago when my D started. I'm glad you are enjoying your lessons, A. I will never do that again! Scared me to death!!!

I do love skiing and we will do that weekly this winter.

The girls and I have game night once a week. No excuses, no exceptions. We get pizza, don't answer the phone, don't get on the computer and just play. Monopoly, Life, Clue, Twister. We all look forward to it. The girls will get new games at Christmas too....

So I am doing okay in this area, but want to branch out a little - so I will continue to watch this thread to see what ideas come through....

Thanks, angelica, for a good thread!

brandnewday,
Where is Queensbury for you? You live in New England, right? I am thinking we might actually live very close by each other!

Play:
-I am taking a Pilates class
-I bought a Thomas Kincaid color-by-numbers kit of one of his beautiful paintings
-I throw a mean spiral football when I play with my brother

Hey A:

Yes, as everyone says, another great thread. Didn't want to hijack darboyd's thread, but wanted to tell you that I think you and I share an affinity for overpriced clothes and shoes! (My latest passion: Christian Louboutins...)

I've always been very careful with my money and have been very good at saving, especially post-bomb. But I took some advice from my mom who told me not to be so frugal all the time - to spend money on myself once in a while instead of just the kids. So instead of just saving for my unknown future, I set some money aside for myself and then go blow it all on some ridiculously priced shoes that make me look and feel totally fabulous. Oh-so-worth every penny... Like you, the MLC diet got me back to my pre-pregnancy body (even better actually) - never thought I'd ever feel comfortable in a bikini again.

I guess that's my version of learning to play again.

Oh yeah - and going to concerts too. All of my friends are married with young children and are not in to music as much as I am. So I take my S5 and borrow some nieces and nephews whenever a good concert comes to town (hardly ever). Going tomorrow night and can't wait!
