Day 2 of the retreat is today. It’s going well and I’m actually enjoying myself. Aside from the fact I’m rather hungover. I imbibed a little too much last night.
:cheers:
We had a good session yesterday. Our new leader is terrific and I think she has a lot of great ideas for the department. She’s intelligent, fair, open-minded, and just a generally nice person. The hotel is lovely. I have to admit it’s the first hotel I’ve stayed in that has memory foam on the beds, fluffy feather pillows instead of those cheapy foam pillows, and nice thick comforters. After our day of brainstorming, we had drinks in the sports bar and then it was off to dinner in the steakhouse.
The food – OH! the food! The food was so good. Lunch was excellent but the dinner was to-die-for. I had the lobster bisque and gorgonzola beef filet. We drank a bottle of wine – Rosemount Estate Shiraz. There was a lot of laughter and it was great to catch up with the ladies I’ve known for years. Afterward, a few of us hung out in the sports bar, drank and talked some more. I think I got to bed by midnight.
So here I am in the hotel room, sipping hot tea and trying not to be sick to my stomach. Just how am I going to make it through the day?
:doze:
And before I go, here’s a question to ponder… why would a woman knowingly date a man who’s divorce is not final yet? Are women really that desperate?
Ginger will settle your stomach.
I’ve visited Rosemount Estate when I was in Australia — I’m a big fan of their wines.
Regarding your final question — far too often, if one person is interested in another, regardless of gender, the person believes what the not-yet-divorced says about being the victim or the hero — at the very least, the protaganist of his own story.
My rule of thumb is: If he cheats with you, he’ll cheat on you. And I don’t have room in my life for a cheater. That means that I don’t get involved with men who are still entangled in previous relationships, no matter what sob story the guy gives me.
Devon hit it RIGHT on the nail head–and maybe she doesn’t “know?” Or at least to the extent that you think. Like I said before, good riddance. And he’ll probably talk her into cleaning his toilets for him. 😆
You should thank her for taking him off your hands!
Wow, you’re retreat sounds great, and as though you’re having some much-needed fun.
As far as the woman – oh, I don’t know. Most days I have trouble figuring out how to tie my shoes. Finally I realize they actually have zippers.
I concur – bet she thinks the ink has been dry a while…
:woohoo: Sounds like a party last night! Sorry I missed it.
This will be a WILDLY unpopular opinion but I’m gonna give it….here’s THE BEST MAN in the world:
You get a call from him once every 20 or so days…you have drinks….you get some (and he’s really really really good at it) and he leaves w/o spending the night. And for 19 days he leaves you alone. ::-::swoon::-:: 😆
I’m catching up on your blog and regarding the last question: why not? I’m not even started on my divorce and I’m happily living common-law with my new man. We just had our one-year anniversary. My “ex”-husband and I have been over for four years. We just can’t file for divorce because I don’t have access to supreme court services and he hasn’t lived in the same province for one whole year since we split. Divorce is like marriage. It’s just a piece of paper.
