There is something in the Air This Year for Sure! What Will 36 Bring me?

It has been awhile since a blog has come out of me. Life has changed drastically (not the title of this blog has changed from Wife to woman..LOL). Let's just say, I'm no longer bored or as stuck as I was when I created this and my many other blogs (Confessions of a DVR Addict).

Divorce seems to be in the air this year, what with my seperation this past February and the sudden changing of "status" on Facebook from a bunch of people from married to single.

Speaking of Facebook, when I decided to change my status I was basically announcing it to the world and setting it in stone for the most part. So, for those of my friends that have put themselves as "single" as of now, I know exactly what point you are at in your life and relationships.

But hey, things looked up for me in a big way. I got into my own apartment, a nice one to boot, with my son. I met a wonderful guy I have been dating now for a little over three months. I've been contemplating changing my status to "in a relationship" and making that announcement to the world similar to when I put my status as "single" but, have decided to hold of just a little while longer before I do for many reasons. None of them bad, just waiting for the right time. I'm also going back to school and have just completed week 3 of my first group of 11 week classes. I'm enjoying it a lot. I feel smart, strong, more independent and lots of other things that I had been lacking in over the past 4 years. Mostly, I have learned that I rock and kick ass and am smarter, stronger, sexier than my soon to be ex husband has given me credit for. That, and I'm a good Mom! Okay, I knew I was a good mom. I never doubted that even though the ex sometimes tried to make me feel I wasn't.

I've also learned a harsh lesson on who my friends are and aren't. I thought that I had found two amazing friends through my Burlesque Show project and they lent me their ear to vent during a tough time. One of the two, in particular, turned out to be, well just a plain Bitch by claiming the show as her own (rather than a shared and collaborative effort) and subsequently kicking me off of it. Pulled the rug right out from underneath me. As I have been vocal about it (hey, you don't treat someone like that and expect to get away smelling like roses) I suppose she hasn't been happy about the fact that I told people the truth of why I was no longer involved (as opposed to some bullshit she wanted to make up about me not having time, blah blah blah . .. all meant to protect her, apparently, because the truth makes her look bad, not me) that she then had to go and blurb stuff to my soon to be ex husbands pseudo girlfriend (they act like a couple but won't admit they are a couple..LOL. dont know why. I could care less if they are together now. Oddly, I do like her.) about the stuff I said to her when I thought she was my friend. To make matters worse, she exagerated or embellished what I said to make it sound totally twisted and really bad. Wow. Kharma monster is going to bite her in the ass. But of course, my true friends that I knew I had (yes, that's you Stacey and my prego friend Jeannine..whom I really want to see because I haven't seen her at all since the news) are still my true friends.

Well, anyway.. it has been a whirlwind almost year.. I lost a husband, gained a new man, found two wonderful friends then found out they weren't my friends, created and put on an amazingly wonderful show and then had that show pulled out right from underneath me and I've started college again as well as my own Wedding Planning Business.. Wow, enough to make your head spin. Yeah.. I think 36 is going to be a good year with some big questions marks as to what the future holds, but all exciting and all good!
