Vomit, Curse, Hate


Because in real life that's what you do in a divorce. The Eat Pray Love blahblahblah is a very sweet concept, but sadly mere mortals cannot take a year off to go "find themselves" by visiting exotic locations and humping a few foreign hotties. Not to say it's necessarily a bad idea, it's just not terribly practical.

So.
To sum up the past couple of months: Mr. Bunker has officially been kicked to the curb.
At long last I took the kids and left him alone in the family castle with his busted up hoarders collection of old clocks, spittoons, and giant shitloads of other junk which he can sort through and rearrange to his heart's content as he continues to milk his "disability".

I am missing having things like, um, a bed, and a dresser and sheets and dishes and salt and pepper shakers, but it appears that I have excaped with my sanity and ma bebbies, so fuck you Mr. Bunker.

And that's MS. Bunker, thankyouverymuch.

Wow, I was totally wrong. I thought you were doing the Blago thing. Really I did. You gotta admit the timing was right.

I am glad you jumped ship, it was time. I have a friend just finishing a similar mess. But know this Ms. Bunker, there will come a day very soon where you'll be padding around the kitchen and realize you feel lighter, and that is because you no longer live with that mess of a man.

Booyah!

Dear Ms. Bunker,
Hooray! Hooray! And yes, it would be nice to be Julia Roberts and get over things with the big bucks. But that's the movies.

Pick out the best bed ever. One night soon, just wallow in it plus your Egyptian cotton sheets! Tell me where you are Registered for the Freedom Trousseau and I will contribute a pillow sham.

I'm so happy for you!
Take care of yourself, dear one,

Ann T.

Oh Edith!! I am so proud of you! I know how hard that was, and some moments may still be, but take heart, you can now "Eat Pray Love" in your own space, in your own time and with whomever floats the boat! No more giveaways on your blog!! I too will look for your registry!! I will be passing through your fair city soon, you arent living in the airport are you?
Always,
Gia

Where was I?, oh yeah, Good on Ya Edith, although I still think my "Big Pussy" idea was better.
Just sayin, Lake Michigan's a BIG Lake, I mean a GREAT Lake, Nome Sane???

and I just love "Ms." it even sounds sexy, like my 11th grade Algebra teacher Ms. Cannon, except she said it like:
"Mizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Cannon"
She was a Divorce' too

I figgered as much. Hey, good on ya, Dr. Edith. An intelligent attractive professional like you shouldn't have to be saddled with a loser like that.

Edith Bunker said...

sorry for the delay, I'm not online at home yet. Soon!

Booyah is absolutely correct, SCRN. And I never gave it a thought, but you are correct, it is disturbingly in sync with Blago. yuck.
I already feel lighter. I'm still adjusting to the reality that I don't have to go home to him and it never fails to give me a momentary thrill. after I pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming, then punch myself to make extra sure.

Thank you Pat! thanks for checking in. There were some rather horrible times but I'm hoping that the worst is behind me. It's probably not, but I can still hope.

Ann T.: I'm still trying to accept the fact that I can pick things out that I like, and buy them with my own money, and bring it home to MY place. I now have a bed, so the sheets are coming. They will be spectacular.
Thank you for your unflagging encouragement!

Gia: tell me when you're passing through, you have my email? would love to see you!

PeeDee: Yes, the kids. I hate that they're going through this but so far they seem good. They are learning that a home should be peaceful place, and they are adjusting.

I tried to boot from the house but it is so hard to separate a hoarder from his hoard. I would have had to evict him through the courts and that would take months and before that was accomplished I would probably be the floater in the lake. Like you say, all in goo time. Thanks for sticking around.

CrazyPoet: Cheers! damn straight it's been a long time. finally.

911: Thank you. I'm still trying ot get myself situated but being able to walk through a room without having to step on, over or through mountains of crap makes me a little misty.

Frank, Frank, Frank.
The only problem with the "Big Pussy" idea is that whole prison gig. Besides that, I quite like it.

Who are the Brave's again?

CholeraJoe: did you say something nice???? I'm crawling under my desk RIGHT NOW because the end must be near.
but thanks, now I'll have to see about getting that boob job.

Edith, the price for saline bags is down to $2695 complete in SW IN. Just had another woman at work get them. That makes 4...er...8. This one's kind of slender like you and went with 325cc smooth implants. Took her to a small 34C.
