*WARNING* This post is rated R. If you don’t want to hear about me being crazy and drunk and hooking up with a guy then keep moving to the next blog*
OK, so I was a hermit throughout my marriage. Not by my choice mind you. My ex-husband was a homebody, couch potato. He left the house to go to work, to go to the gym and that was pretty much it. Very few exceptions, maybe once every 2-3 months a movie, but normally we sat around and watched TV. (No wonder I am here trying to lose weight!)
Now that I’m free and single, I so thoroughly enjoy going out with my girlfriends every once in awhile for a cocktail or a movie. Last weekend was just such an occasion. My friend’s boyfriend broke up with her last week and I was trying to make her feel better by taking her out for a drink or two. Her marriage ended at the same time as mine. I have only been on 2 first dates in that time frame. She has been with a couple different one night stands and just came out of a 6 month relationship. If you can’t tell, she absolutely does not like being alone. I jokingly have nicknamed her the female Jerry Maguire. So after a beer or two at a bar close to both our homes, a guy that had asked her out back several months ago when she was beginning her relationship with break-up guy, text her and asked us to come meet him. She begged me to go. I did not want to. It was a trendy bar clear on the other side of town. But I was trying to cheer her up so I went along. We both ended up drinking WAY too much and neither of us had eaten anything that day so we were fairly drunk. I don’t know when or how but next thing I know I’m making out with a guy. The next morning as we were talking, we realized that neither of us recall meeting. All I know is that a cute young guy took me home and I had sex for the first time since before my separation. It’s been 3 years people!!! And when I say young, I mean young! He’s 23…I’m 39. He’s closer in age to my youngest daughter than he is to me! I don’t care either. I’m allowed 1 crazy passionate night right??? One night stand or not, I had the best weekend ever :)))
I did not eat on Friday or Saturday which I know isn’t healthy but at least it made up for the amount of calories I drank.
I’ve been walking every day at lunch and I’m so happy about it. I am guaranteed to get in 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week. (Sometimes work is just too busy for me to leave, but I try to anyway if for nothing else but stress relief!)
Cheers party people!

i won’t scold
but please be careful… there are a lot of crazies out there! glad you are feeling so great. and glad you are exercising. sometimes we just need to do crazy things - remind me to tell you of the craziest thing i ever did..LOL. not sure i’d confess tho! haha. waiting to see if i can get OUT of seatac tomorrow we are expecting horrible weather and the shuttle leaves at 11 am. if we have 6 inches of snow they wont’ go. and i’m not going to have my daughter drive the one hour trip to seattle/tacoma airport in the snow. we know how to drive in the snow…we lived in alaska and in iceland. yes, iceland for 3 years. but it’s the other drivers out there that dont’ know how to drive. we’ve chained up the car today while the weather was okay knowing that the storm will hit around 2 am and if we wake up to a LOT of snow we won’t want to be out crawling around in it. we also shopped and i got some apples and oranges and some chocolate cake - o well. i’m still under my calories for the day..LOL and hope the liquid/fast has helped with the weight this week. i feel good. i don’t feel all icky anymore! sometimes you just have to cleanse it all out and get re-booted! LOL. i will write again when i get back on monday. (or i will come back tomorrow if i don’t get OUT!) bye for now, have a great weekend. wish me luck, i will be going to bingo in my hometown which has pots of 250 and 500 bucks for a 25 dollar buy in and YEAH baby, i’m going! bye again !

Nothing spells “I’m so over you” than good old uncommitted drunken sex with a handsome stranger almost half your age. Honestly, it’s probably a good thing you had those cocktails otherwise your ‘adult’ brain might have stopped you from doing just what you needed to do.
But what about the jilted friend? Did she find a new boyfriend?
