I forgot to mention what the kids picked out for STBXH:
A BRAND NEW SUITCASE!
Yep and I let them get it for him.... LOL The irony was not lost on him as he commented by saying to me privately "Great, I'm gonna have to leave here with another suitcase in hand". I bit my tongue when it wanted to say "well, atleast we get to watch you leave this time, instead of you slinking out of here like a coward"
The reason I let them pick this was because STBXH travels a lot and likes his suitcases to match so when he pulls into a 5 star hotel ... he looks the part...nevermind that he is not affording the hotel .. his company is but I guess it helps feed the "see how wealthy and important I am (old H would have cared less what others thought). Anyway... got him the carry on and his B day is in Feb ... so I'll let the kids get him the big one to match. It's Samsonite so it's very nice. It useful and I'll be damned if I'm gonna buy him clothes to help him look better. He's on his own with that one.
He stayed a whopping 2 hours and then split as if a fire started here. Very weird and nothing on Christmas Eve.... I think he may be involved with a lady from a Kiosk at the mall. She hawks some kind of nail stuff and evidently my D has seen her and H took her by there...of course just to look at the nail stuff and H had mentioned to me that he got "attacked" at the kiosk the week before and the girl spent 45 min on his nails.... and he bought some stuff.... then and went by there with D and had to go to the mall at 5pm on Christmas eve to get a present wrapped... he lives 20 mins from mall... did'nt have anyway to wrap this present... Now, I think he was just trying to make sure we weren't at the mall. He has mentioned this nail crap at least 6 times in the past week!
Plus, I think he is closing on his live aboard boat next week... although he promised my A and me that he would wait until financial were signed. Oh well, guess I can't believe him LOL. The kids saw the boat and there are not 2 staterooms; there is one and a quarter berth. Guess they will never have a home with their father. So I guess one can sleep in the berth and the other one can get the couch or the table..... YEEHAW!
