25 - I strongly doubt she would be open to having a few drinks and sorting out ornaments. As noted, at this stage she only wants to talk about the baby or the pending D.
Durning my pre-DB phase, I reached out to the friend she is visiting via text. Basically to tell her that I was not "abusive" to Sara, etc. - I know, bad move at the time. She herself is divorced (H had a PA and a nice little porn addiction) and remarried. She replied to my text by saying "This might actual be better for you in the long run". Granted, what DO you say to an idiot that texted you about a pending D? So I don't know if the trip will benefit me much, but this friend and I really hit it off well and got along great - ditto on her new husband. Maybe it could work to my favor - I dunno.
I know I am reading into things too much - it's something that we type A's do. Remember my comment about the perpetual search for cause and effect relationships? I keep trying to take small pieces of things and weave them into a picture that makes sense. Foolish - yes, I know. I am working on stopping.
Our S won't be going with her on the trip. I will have him that weekend. I did, however, contemplate asking her if she wanted to take him. Do you think she'll even think of me if the baby ISN'T going??
What program? My GAL? Good! I went to my company Christmas party at a nice resort this weekend and actually brought a date (old friend, nothing romantic at all) and stayed over night. Gambled, had a few cocktails, a great dinner and a lot of fun. Went on a nice long hike with a friend, and this coming weekend I'm going to take my son to see Christmas lights at the zoo. I even made New Year's Eve plans already with some friends to see some Cirque Du Soleil crap with the music of Michael Jackson. Hell, I even forced myself to go bowling with the sales group from my office last week. I'm trying to say "yes" to everything and force myself to go.
