I bought burgandy curtains for the living room and my daughter's room and I put textured wallpaper on the ceiling in my front hall and painted it a metallic gray. Looks awesome.

I bought pink sheets also. I love them. I also bought a new house. The best part was that it came with a huge gift card to American Furniture. I bought my dd a new bedroom set and a beautiful desk for the computer room. I also bought a new dining room table and a complete bedroom set for myself. It was like having free money. I still have money left over for a few other items for the house. When ex found out that I got a new bed he was really confused. He couldn't figure out why I wanted a new bed. I told him I didn't want ot sleep in the same bed we slept in together. Men never understand.

I also started buying wine. My ex likes red wine and I can't drink it so I have stocked up on all my favorite whites. I eat foods he didn't like. He really likes ethnic foods, but his new gf is allergic to so many things that she can't eat any of the foods he likes. LOL. I always tried and usually liked them so I have no idea what he will do now. I am going to keep eating the new things but also eat what I like.

I love the pink pots idea. Where did you get them?

I bought Miracle Whip and macaroni and cheese -- STBX doesn't like either of them. I ordered some Smashbox makeup on auto-delivery from QVC -- he can't complain that I'm buying too much "stuff." If I want to buy something I will buy it and he has nothing to say! He can go disapprove of somebody else now, LOL!!!

I also bought a flat-screen LCD television. It's great! And I don't think he knows about it, LOL!!!

It's really wonderful to be able to make our own choices isn't it?

Now, I can choose what TV station to watch, what time to get up in the morning (ex was a rediculously early riser and made lots of noise and woke me up all the time!), what food I want to eat, where I want to go on the weekend and on vacation, what movie to choose at blockbuster, etc.

I truly realized how terrific this was when I bought a mattress set after the D. Ex was adamant about always having super-firm, but it hurt my back. I bought pillow top and sleep nice and cozy now--no more back pain. Free from another person's selfish demands.

I bought a beautiful bed. The frame is very feminine and European looking and I have a pretty scarf draped through it. There was no way I was going to ask for the marital bed. I absolutely love my new bed!
