No, no, no NYGal...no mean glares. Don't give OW the pleasure of knowing you are hurt or thinking she "won." She is beneath your notice. Walk around like you own the place, laugh and joke with your friends, and pretend OW is an insignificant little bug who you wouldn't waste the time or effort to squash. wink

I also like the idea of getting coffee or being away from your office during W's normal walk-by time. If she's walking by to get a NYGal fix, she's definitely going to notice when you aren't there and start wondering why. Oooh...maybe you are out having coffee or lunch with the hot, young co-worker that you brought to the game. Of course, you're not...but wouldn't it be nice to let her do a little of the obsessing that you've been doing for the last couple months...wondering who and what you're doing? Mystery is attractive. Stop making yourself available to her. She has lost the privilege of NYGirl right now and she can't just come back and get a fix whenever she wants. She has to earn her way back.

I totally feel you on hating the drama and just wanting your old life back. I'm with you. But this is the life we have right now, and there are no quick fixes. Take what you have this moment and rock it!! Who wouldn't be attracted to a gorgeous girl out there smiling, having a blast and living an amazing, full life??

P.S. I thought "sow" was for the literal meaning...pig. lol
