Hi PL! Lissie is right....bleh! I am a REALLY slow driver! lol!
I'm about 6 hrs (normal speed!) from you! I do hope you enjoy yourself, and thanks for the email addy! I know your presence is more scarce on the boards (a good thing for you), but I would love to be in touch!
To update...life is good. Things are well. Getting ready to road-trip home for the holidays! I can't wait for my mom's food (it just tastes so much better than mine!), chilling out and making plans to move home! I'm hoping to leave in January (my boss has asked about the beginning of Feb, so that would be fine, too!). I'm really excited to leave! I really can't wait for 2008!
I think I want to spend time doing a budget, looking at financial goals, etc. It's icky and scary, but good for me to do. I think I need to enter 2008 with some definate goals.
On STBX news.....well, it just gets zanier. Are we shocked?
Turns out, via divorce discovery, I found that he bought, one spontaneous night after a very nice dinner with the OW of the moment (the one he takes out when he wants to enjoy the finer 'dates'), a SPORTS CAR. This, just 10 days after filing for a D, and signing a Temporary Domestic Order, saying that he would keep all transactions status quo until the divorce was final.
Now, this is a man who has not really shown interest in sports cars, and thought it was inappropriate to be driving around in an area with significant poverty. This is his financial choice over student debt.
So.....the next interesting bit. To purchase the car, and pay some loans, he took out a loan on his government retirement account. He did this, WITHOUT my signature, which is apparently required, and an crime prosecutable by the Department of Justice. He either forged my signature, or said he wasn't married.
