Thanks Broken. I called my new friend yesterday but had to leave a message. Haven't heard back from her yet, but have no doubt that I will.
Don't know about the whole "beating them off with a stick" thing, but I now know that life will go on without STBX. Hard to find a woman who is willing to have a serious R with a man with multiple kids, and who is okay with not having her own kids or anymore kids. Oh well, if I live the rest of my life alone, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be happy. I've got my kids, and that is the most important thing.
Found out yesterday from MIL that STBX was upset about something during D4's b-day party on Saturday, and therefore didn't think it was a good idea to bring up Thanksgiving plans with her at the time. I think MIL knew what it was about, but didn't/wouldn't mention it to me. Probably won't ever know, but it unfortunately made me a little curious nonetheless. Oh well.
Life is good, people! We're all going to be okay!
I'm going out for a drink and then salsa dancing tonight, then hosting a poker party Saturday night. Sunday I hope to go out and do something with my new date interest. Just got some front row tickets to Dane Cook for Nov. 30th, and hope to take date interest to that too. I LOVE Dane Cook (but not like that ).
