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 -

I could tell you where, but not why.


Although, I'd have to say to me, there are worse things than tractors!
