Fun Friday: Trash It!

NO! Not your 'X's car! 

That's just a waste of your time, and your 'X' will know it was you anyway.

Trash something you both shared.

Why in the world do I suggest this, and then act like it's a good thing? 

Because, I just trashed something else that was ours back when my 'X' and I were married and it felt fabulous!

Believe it or not, after almost seven years of being separated, I just finally threw away my cordless phone.

Why didn't I throw it away sooner? I'm not sure, I guess I didn't realize I still had it!

That makes me laugh out loud! 

What's even more funny, is that the old numbers of locals (back then it was another state!) were still saved in memory!

Want to have a Fun Friday?

 Share with me what you threw out of your's when you were married

 and 

felt good while doing! 

(No stories about Wedding Dresses or Rings please-those make me sad.)

Funny Divorce Movies

Check out this list of funny movies about divorce.

I haven't seen all of the ones listed here, but my favorite one listed is hands down, 

 Liar Liar starring Jim Carrey.

The movie is about a son who makes a wish that his father would stop lying
after he experiences his dad's lies and let downs time and time again.
The boy gets his wish.

FUNNY PART IN THE MOVIE:
Cop: You know why I pulled you over? 
Fletcher: Depends on how long you were following me! 
Cop: Why don't we just take it from the top? 
Fletcher: Here goes: I sped. I followed too closely. I ran a stop sign. I almost hit a Chevy. I sped some more. I failed to yield at a crosswalk. I changed lanes at the intersection. I changed lanes without signaling while running a red light and *speeding*! 
Cop: Is that all? 
Fletcher: No... I have unpaid parking tickets. 
[groans] 
Fletcher: ... be gentle.

That Day Rings a Bell...

The other day I had been searching the internet for something funny for Fun Friday, and as I read a post, I noticed it had the date of September 30th.

At first I thought nothing of it. Then I thought I felt a small little inkling that I should know that date...like it meant something.

I finished reading the post, went back up to the top of the page and there was that date again...September 30th. Staring at me!

Now why did that date ring a bell?

Was it someone's birthday? Had I forgotten to do something that day?

I gave up on it, closed the window and THEN...it came to me!

That had been my wedding date when I was married to my first husband over sixteen years ago! (I've been divorced for 6.)

Yikes!

 I felt so embarrassed. I thought, 'Oops...I guess I should remember that date, huh?'...

Ummmm, nope...why? It's over. We aren't together anymore, and we will certainly never celebrate it again.

It should simply be considered 'just another day'. And that is what it will be...suppose it already is, since I kind of forgot about it...

Just goes to show you time heals......and helps you forget.

(So glad we didn't get married on a holiday!)

Have you forgotten your wedding date? 

If so, how long did it take before you considered it just another day?

Could Friday the 13th Be Your Lucky Day?

I have met many people who absolutely dread this day, and just mentioning 'Friday the 13th' sends shivers up their spines.

As a child I was very superstitious. Maybe it's because I watched 'My Bloody Valentine', 'Happy Birthday to Me',  'Halloween' and our pal Jason, more than a few times as a child....or I suspect it could be because when I was in the third grade I dropped a small pocket mirror in class. It shattered of course, and soon after my parents divorced, and according to me, my life sucked for ummm... about the next thirteen years.

Creepy? A little...it haunted me for my entire childhood and teen years.


Though, now, I am no longer superstitious. (Maybe except for the knock-on-wood thing; hey, it hasn't done me wrong yet.)

I suppose I no longer stress out over superstitions because in my life I have experienced my share of 'bad luck', so I simply just embrace whatever comes, realizing that there's no rhyme or reason (or specific date for that matter) which bad karma represents itself.

Ironically,  Friday the 13th has actually become my favorite day, if not my Lucky Day!
I cannot tell you how many times I have had the most outstanding luck on this supposedly haunted day.
Including, one wicked-hot summer day, when I had to leave my family on our first annual camping trip, to drive back home to go to trial. It would be the first day of a two-day-long battle with my 'X' for custody of our children.

When I walked into courthouse, I could barely stand still, I was shaking so hard. I had no idea how it would all play out. But, by the time I rounded the corner of the hallway, and reached the lobby outside the courtroom, I met the eyes of at least seven outstanding people...they were waiting for me and were the teachers and our doctor, and were all there to support me and my children.

It took three months to find out the results of that trial, but when the final word from the judge came in it truly reminded me, that I would never have anything to fear on Friday the 13th. It was, and would forever be my luckiest day!

Happy Friday the 13th! 

May it be Your Lucky Day!

Fun Friday: Can You Laugh About It?

Some people might criticize me for posting things like this...but I think that if you are far enough in your divorce, there are some things you can laugh about.

This story is one of them. Found on Divorce Jokes, this is really funny and could very well go both ways when it comes to who's making the three wishes.

A recently divorced woman is walking along the beach contemplating how badly she came out in the divorce settlement, when she spies a lamp washing up onshore. She rubs the lamp, and out pops a genie.

The genie notices her anger and lets her vent her troubles to him. Then the genie informs that he will give her three wishes. But, he cautions her, because he does not believe in divorce, he will give her ex-husband ten times what she wishes for.

The woman is steaming mad, thinking that this is hardly fair, but she makes her first wish. The first wish was for a billion dollars.

The genie grants her wish and she finds herself sitting on one billion dollars. The genie then reminds her that her husband is now the recipient of 10 billion dollars.

The woman can barely contain her anger when she makes her second wish. The second wish was for a beautiful mansion on the shore of her own private beach.

In an instant it was granted, but the genie then reminds again that her ex-husband now owns ten of what she wished for.

Upon hearing this, the woman takes her time to contemplate her last wish. Just as the genie was about to give up on her, the woman informs the genie that she wants to make the last wish. But, before she can do this, the genie again warns her that her ex-husband will get ten times what she wishes for.

No problem, said the woman as she grinned in ecstasy. For my last wish.."Id like to give birth to twins".

F.Y.I.: Fun Friday will be replaced...

This week Fun Friday will be replaced by a 9/11 tribute.

I have always said we need to have a sense of humor about things in life, and I still believe that.

Though there is not, and never will be, anything funny about the events that happened on September 11, 2001.

Please join me tomorrow when I dedicate all three of my blogs to the victims, and the public awareness, of the 9/11/01 World Trade Center Attacks.

Thank you.

NOTE: Tomorrow's posts will NOT be identical.
