New Car Smell, Halloween And Relationships

Posted on October 28, 2009 - Filed Under General

The Infiniti M45 I bought three weeks ago is a beast.   I love this car.

It is fast, drives smooth and has all of the stuff a geek like me could want.  I finally have a luxury car that I never thought I would be able to own.  Lucky me.

No costumes for Halloween yet.  I am slacking.   I should have something for Alex by Thursday.

I’ve been shopping for a costume but nothing has grabbed me yet.  Barb is dressing as either a queen or dead prom queen.  Either way, she will be a queen.

Me?  All of the King and knight/renaissance costumes for men are weak.  And nothing on the dead prom king front.  It’s a shame.

We have a deadline of finding something by Thursday or Halloween is a bust.  We are supposed to attend the party down at the Varsity Grill with a pre-party at Dodi’s house.   Should be an entertaining night mo matter what happens.  I have not dressed for Halloween since I was a kid so looking forward to the night.

Toni will have Alex that night, so I am taking him to an event at moms church on Friday night.  I think we are taking Barbs daughter Megan as well.

On the relationship front… I am dating someone I went to school with a long time ago.  We did not speak nor like each other back then, now we seem to have lots in common.  Go figure.

People are freaking out.  Which is expected.

How can I be dating someone when I’ve only been alone for six months now.  The shame!  The horror!

Let’s get this all out of the way right now.  My wife left me, told me she did not love me and basically left me hanging.  Bills, house, the works.  I understand why and how it went down.  Now the fun part is trying to divide it all up in a fair manor.  Not as easy as it sounds.

I am tired of being pegged as a monster because I make more money, or because I can afford things.  I am also a bad guy because I get mad and swear when I am angry.  Sue me.

We are separated, and we are filing paperwork for a divorce.  There is no stopping that.

That means we are both free to do whatever we want now, as long as the children don’t get hurt in the process.  The children are the primary concern.

I was not looking for a date or a relationship after all of that.  It was a tough time and something I never want to deal with again.

A funny thing happens when you start to like yourself again, and you can make yourself happy without the need to have someone else do it for you.   People take notice.

I am happy right now.  I am in a relationship with someone that I enjoy spending time with and… we are taking things really, really slow.

That is all I am going to say about this from now on.  Question it if you want.

    You go, BOY!!!
    Six months is a lifetime. . . . an eternity in a young man’s life.
    You get no questions from me. Just cheers.
    Be happy.
    Stay happy.
    Stay safe.
