never do if you were married?
See if you can name at least 3 things - and certainly MORE is better!! I was hoping this could be a fun and positive thread to celebrate our singledom. Maybe some of it is in reference to the stifled state I had when married to my exh - so I guess it is relative to him and maybe not all husbands or men or spouses in general.
- bought 2 puppies at the same time. Slept with them in the bed! LOL!!! Well, just for few days until they got too frisky but then they had to go in the crate in DS's room
- redecorated the house in MY colors and took on special projects with the kitchen since I love to cook
- signed up for an Ironman
- dumped all the frumpy clothes and went wild with a new and younger collection. Goodbye Ann Taylor, hello Abercrombie! LOL!!
- got rid of the newspaper - always have hated those and the memory of exh reading it - bye bye - I read the WSJ and CNN online
- took XMIL off the Xmas list - instead of spending money on a husband and inlaws for Xmas I spend it all on DS and me - and you know what? I always get what I want!!!!!! No returns or regrets!!
- I am the only one accessing the checking account so it balances to the penny in 10 minutes flat - no surprises
- took a camping vacation and slept in a tent - there are few men my age who would do that
- took a Europe vacation and rented a tiny studio with a kitchen just for me and DS
- have really relished the one on one time with DS - although he is outgrowing me now - his social life is like WOW -

This is a GREAT discussion!
Let's see - where to start?
1. Take a beach vacation two years in a row with my DDs (we never went ANYWHERE on vacation - too much money, you know...)
2.
I go to bed EARLY
Let my son shave his head bald when he wants to (or dye it blue, have a mohawk... you get the idea)
Pierce my daughter's ears and buy her pretty jewelry just because I want to
Stop at a girlfriend's just to chat
Talk on the phone for as long as I want
Pay the bills on time because the money is MINE
Buy new shoes because the money is MINE
Work overtime without question
Paint the bedrooms, living room, whatever I want when I want the color I want
Make new friends who love me for me, and not my ex's family money or name
Spend as much time with my family as I want
Tickle my kids when they should be sleeping
Yell at them when they've done something wrong- no one else will take it any further than that, ever
Get a turtle/fish/dog/cat/ferret/bird....
Make plans without asking or checking or worrying
Live where I want
JUST BE ME, no worries, no fears, no questions
