H did his disappearing act from our 25 year marriage and family at the end of March. He (what he tells everyone anyway) is living in his truck (semi) and does nothing but work (drive). He has been hit twice, most recently this week by a drunk driver. The first incident caused $5K worth of damages to his truck (which we own).
He also commented that the kids (23 & 18) don't call him but will talk to him when he calls them. His phone rarely rings except for bill collectors, even calls from his family are few and far between. Even our mutual friends don't call him. In all fairness they don't call me either. Our friends, really his friends and their wives, like me according to H and he seemed somewhat surprised to hear that they weren't contacting me.
There is so much material here that is so ripe for sarcasm, I could do at least a 30 min stand up routine, but I have refrained.
Is this the beginning of a visit from Karma? Or do I just have a vicious and vindictive streak that is a mile wide right now?

It would be Cousin Karma knocking at his door. While sometimes I think karma is a big superstituion of boogeyman story, I do think sometimes the universe has a way of laughing at people. There are just some strange coincidences sometimes.
As for my ex, life has gone really well for him, almost TOO good, and I don't wish him any ill will but if someone ever leaves him high and dry in his time of need, I do hope he remembers me. One time he did tell me that his prized 60" plasma blew out and .
Also, the day we got divorced, in court, he looked AWFUL (and I looked pretty hot, if I might say) and all his hair was thinning. Later he texted me a pic of him with no hair--he shaved it all off. I think he wanted me to say he looked nice and I told him "Do you like your head?" He goes, "Do you?" And I said " It looks interesting." My mother said, See... all his evil is coming back to him in the form of hair loss. I know I shouldn't laugh but she said it so deadpan.

My kids stepmom talks badly of me to them all the time. My kids (16 and 19) don't give her time of day anymore and she has some disease where all her hair has fallen out. Healthy (I'm not mean enough to wish her ill), but bald as a cue ball. I love karma! Posted via Mobile Device
Something else that got me to wondering was when he text me about his truck being hit was this:
H- I got hit by a drunk driver yesterday.
Me- U ok? Maybe u should rethink driving otr?
(over the road for non trucking folks)
H- not an option.
Me- Seems to be a lot of "non-options" for u these days.
Ok, I admit that last comment by me was a veiled, sarcastic dig. What can I say?!
He hasn't mentioned "her" for quite a while, whoever or whatever she is/was, if she even existed. Don't know, don't care. I like to think she jumped ship when it was obvious there was no gravy on that train. Sorry for all the cliches but it would appear that my humor and wit are making a slow comeback and I won't stop them. LOL!

TY, GG! Been months since I've felt like making a joke. I know I can take a joke, after all I was apparently married to one for 25 years.
Wedding preps are moving right along. Tomorrow we are meeting at the reception hall to take a look at the sound system set up. The kids are making their own CD's for the ceremony and reception. We spent hours the other night picking songs for the ceremony and the special dances. I've narrowed my choices for mother/groom songs down to Rod Stewart's Forever Young, Lynryd Skynyrd Simple Man, and Def Leppard Two Steps Behind. I know that my son wants to use Simple Man already at the reception but the Def Leppard is definitely me, love that band.

I saw Def Leppard in Fayetteville, NC years ago. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" is my fave song of theirs, although I love nearly everything they've done. They have a sound all their own. Stripping huh? I tried belly dancing to it, not easy.
I haven't gotten my dress yet. I've lost so much weight that I've decided that late Sept would be better to shop than now. They are having the ceremony on the beach at sunset, being FL it'll still be plenty warm even in October. Gonna look for teal/turquoise or near fuschia for colors. Wedding colors are sun gold yellow (accent) and blue (horizon is the name). Went today for to get the tuxes set. It's going to be gorgeous!
Karma perhaps? In the first month of separation, after his 2 wk vacation (we together have not been on vacay for 5 yrs, remember we have a budget he would say), he was in a motorcycle accident, 15 mph, and bike was totaled. Karma?
I have seen retribution come to people in my life and I have received it myself. Retribution, no I think it is called justice. I believe life involves balance.
The callousness and selfishness will be dealt with, of that I am positive because it happened to me.
Karma??? Hmmm, I wonder... 
do you have your dress yet?
