Late to start a thread, but feel free to add yours below, too.
I was having a decent Friday, until I got a call from H. His ex is filing for her second divorce today, and was calling to tell him she'd be taking back our last name. Awesome way to ruin a Friday. I do not understand why someone would get divorced, re-marry, divorce again, and take husband #1's name again. I shouldn't be letting it affect me, but I'm pissed off.

Re: FFFC
Doesnt she have kids with that last name? I can kind of see it. I didn't change my name when I got divorced because of Connor. I can kind of somewhat see why I guess. You're right that it really shouldn't affect you though. She can change her last name to snuffalupagus if she wants.
@Wendy - They do have a daughter, and that's part of her reasoning for going back to his last name. I understood her keeping it when they got divorced, but now that she's been re-married, it just seems ridiculous. It feels like she's hanging on to her past in a creepy way. It was such a relief for me when she got remarried and changed her name, it sucks to regress like this.
@Puppy - She called because apparently she thought she had to ask H's permission to take the name again. Turns out, she does't (obviously), but that's why she called. He told her we weren't comfortable with it at all, and she basically said she doesn't care, that she doesn't need our permission after all, and is going to go by our LN regardless of our opinion.
Like Wendy said, I can kind of see the last name thing if she has kids with the same last name. And yes - don't let it ruin your day! [easier said than done, I know]
My dad got a brand new Tundra last weekend when we went to Texas. He leaves next week to go back overseas until the summer. I'm secretly hoping he'll leave the keys behind so I can take that baby for a spin - it's niiiiiiiiice.
The only remotely productive thing I did this week outside of work was file our taxes. I had this whole list of things to do since JJ spent the week with my parents, but I didn't do anything. Oh well.
I lurked over on the H&F board a few days ago, and there was a post from a girl who drank a 20 oz. bottle of Diet Coke each day. She got a response from someone who was like, "OMG, you drank 20 ounces per DAY?" or something like that. I think those H&F girls might keel over if they knew how many ounces of soda I sometimes drink in a day.
In similar news, I had a headache yesterday that was my body telling me just how addicted to caffeine it really is. Crap.
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
I have done nothing today. NOTHING. Well, I ordered some new glasses. Pretty excited about that. Work-wise, though...Nothing.
We finally filed our taxes. Somehow we get a ginormous refund. Like, it will pay for our master bathroom to be redone. But. I made that New Year's resolution and I don't really know what accent tile I want to use. So, it will go into the bank.
This is cracking me up.
Drink 'Til it's pink, yo. I wouldn't tell most people either.
Yup. My neighbor even asked if we ha started trying for another...I said no, not yet & changed the subject. Ugh. I've told my parents and closest friends only. Well, and the interwebs. Lol.

I don't see the big deal really. Some people just aren't bothered by the topic. I talk to to people about all kinds of other things going on in my life. If we were ttc I can see how that may be just another thing going on. I guess I'm saying I don't get the judgement. If you want to keep it private, go for it, but who cares if someone else shares. It's not like they're giving inappropriate details.
OH my God, you all, we are having major BM drama. You wouldn't even believe it if I told you. DH won a huge case the other day and he didn't seem excited about it. Turns out, he got an extraordinary hateful email from BM that said "Screw you and Puppy" and it also said "I hope Puppy can't have kids. That would be hilarious considering how critical you are of SD." It has been awesome. And? She clearly needs to get laid.
Is it 2008 again?
Wait, why? Just to be an ass or is there some reason to attack you guys?
I don't "judge" them, I just don't see why it's my business, or why anyone thinks it's their business to ask me if we are trying. I just feel like, if we were to start trying, that it would be very private for us, that it would be a personal journey. It's not like I wouldn't celebrate it publicly with family and friends once it happened, but I guess I'm just weird in that way. If someone tells me that they are, I usually just say good luck, have fun with the sex.
Not to be aired in print. But yes, just to be an @ss. She has sent the email string to everyone and their dog INCLUDING DH'S PARENTS and she isn't getting any sympathy - when I picked up SD from BM's step parents they said "Well, I am not sure what to say. Do you want to talk about it? We are mortified. We aren't sure what to do. We are step parents too and it is hard." They are great. Anyhoo, this is typical behavior for BM when we have SD for the weekend. She will do whatever it takes to ruin the weekend. That has got to be exhausting for her.
I wonder if she's threatened by the possibility of you having his child. That's the one thing of his that she has, and I wonder if she feels like she'll lose her perceived "ground" with him.
Exactly what I was thinking.
What a biitch.
I was thinking it was probably related to your mentioning pushing for more visitation, but this makes sense too.
Well, DH suggested to her that we would pay for SD to have speech therapy because she was tested at school and doesn't qualify for in school therapy (which has her teacher very upset). It isn't brand new news that we are concerned about her lisp. This set her OFF and started on the "I hope you can't children" because we are so critical and horrible people. She also, apparently (as I haven't read the emails) made several extremely rude and tacky comments about me and how even my in laws hate me. Nice, huh? Classy. All of it.
Also, there was more drama last night. She continues to attempt to get DH's parents involved and gosh, they just can't figure out why she thinks she should contact them. Idiots. All of them.
If you didn't have any common sense, it would be confusing. Or, if you were desperate to always be the hero. Of course, at the same time, you would alienate your own child but hey, who cares about him as long as you come across as the hero, right?
