Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to give a little update - I just had the best birthday I've had in 15 years!
I made it thru my first birthday alone. STBX used to make a really big deal out of my birthday, and I was pretty miserable last week. I didn't know if he would call, or what. I've maintained no contact since August or so. But also, my one year of separation is the 19th, so I figured there was a pretty good chance that he's call.
So I wanted to keep myself busy this weekend. I went down to the pub with a girlfriend on Friday nite, and saw some other old friends, danced, had a good time. Saturday I slept in, then went out to dinner with my Mom, sister & brother in law to a really nice place I've never been before (no memories!!!). After that, one of my best friends came and picked me up and took me dancing, and an ex-boyfriend was playing in the band. It was a real ego-boost when he came over and said how great I was looking and how nice it was to see me again - as a friend, because he had missed me. :)
Sunday my sister called and invited me for a barbecue, and cake, etc. and they gave me my gifts. Of course, it was smaller than the $400 STBX used to spend, but that's great. (Nothing like gifts you know aren't affordable that you know you will end up having to pay for in the end.) And like my dad used to say - what you don't receive, you don't have to say thank you for.
So all in all, it was Sunday evening before I even thought about STBX not calling :)

WTG!!!
