So, there are several firsts following a divorce. Here are a few in no particular order:
1. The first night spent really, truly alone.
2. Your first big event (birthday, Christmas, Festivus, Groundhog Day) alone.
3. The first time you run into some, who obviously doesn't know about the divorce or the extent of your ex husband's douchebaggery, who says, "So, how's (insert ex's name here)?"
4. The first time you say, out loud, "No, I'm not married; I'm divorced."
5. The first time you see those awful legal papers.
6. The first time you seriously consider drinking enough vodka to render you unable to pronounce, hell, probably even remember, douchebag's name.
7. Your first date post-divorce (I'm pretty sure I vomited).
8. Your first kiss post-divorce (thankfully, I did not vomit on this particular first).
9. The first time someone new sees you naked (always fun - sarcasm, peeps!)
I'm about to add a new one -
10. I am getting ready to go to my first wedding post-divorce (duh, as a guest, moron).
It's been more than two and a half years since we separated....I'm not sure why I'm just now getting to this first. Maybe I've avoided it...who knows...I'll let you know if I got misty-eyed, or simply rolled my eyes.
Peace to the homies,
Annabelly
