How is your weekend going so far? I hope things are going well. Mine is fine.
Quick post, possibly the last for a week or so, but I'll certainly check in to see how you all are doing and check on any words of wisdom. I love the post on Bruce's thread. Too bad I didn't bust my divorce, but we can't all be so lucky.
Okay, updates: Friday...went to a biker thing with my ex sister-in-law. I was a little surprised that after my SIL asked my ex-wife to go that my ex suggested she ask me. My ex has always been a little worried that her sister might try something. Either she doesn't care or she believes me when I say I'm not interested. My ex did call to see if I'd watch the kids a bit while she went to the gym. I'm glad I got to. The kids and I went and had dinner at this place with games. It was a good time. When she was done I asked her to meet me at this park to drop off the kids and so she could walk the dog. She misunderstood where I would be and I had to call to see where she was. Once she figured it out she said "I'm coming honey". I don't know if she caught that or not. It took her forever to get there. I did have a decent 180 in that I would usually get upset at being made to wait.
Okay...so Saturday. She called to see how the night went. Then later that day I was talking to her and she asked if we were going to a movie. So we did end up going. We sat next to each other and whispered about stuff. At one point she asked whether something was going to happen and I lied about it. When it didn't happen she was playfully smacking me and saying "I could just kill you". It was in a cute way. After that we went to dinner then they took off. She called later for no good purpose. I suspect to see if I stayed home or not, but who really knows.
So she called this morning to see if I wanted to go for a walk...actually she worded it "have you walked the dog yet." I told her "No, but you can walk him if you want." to which she replied "you're not coming with?" So I did go. Really nice walk. Pleasant convo. Some playful ribbing.
Don't know what is in store for the rest of the day. Tomorrow I'm off to Chi-town. I'm taking her son along. She's worried about it and was giving me a hard time about "losing her son". I told her that hurt my feelings and she was "you know I'm just kidding."
So really nothing different here. I still haven't turned down any invites or had other plans. And I haven't pretended to have plans. I think that I better occasionally have plans or at least refuse and make some. I'm weak though. I like being around her too much.
