About a year and a half ago I was driving home from a friend's house on New Year's Eve day morning after a wonderful girl empowering evening celebration. You see, my dear friend "Y" had a fantastic girl only evening for all of us who had basically had a crappy year - in hopes that we'd start the year off with better juju.
We were all there for different reasons...me? I was there because about 3 weeks earlier, a week before my birthday I came home from work and my boyfriend of 5 very long years had apparently taken the day off from work to clean his stuff out of the apartment. I won't bore you with the details but how I remember the conversation going is:
Me: Hi honey!
Him: Hi babe. How was work?
Me: Good. I stopped and got dinner - think you're going to like it! How was yours? Wait you're not dressed for work.
Him: Yeah. We have to talk.
Me:...(looking around and noticing a lot is gone) Wait, what's going on?
Him: Can I get a kiss? (<---WHAT!! ahem)
Me: Not till I know what's going on?
Him: I'm leaving. This isn't working. Blah Blah Blah
Me: What the what?!?
Him: Blah blah blah...and I gotta go - I'm meeting a friend.
Yep. That's the gist of what I remember. I believe that after 5 years together he gave me about 30 minutes before he left.
Crappy story right? Actually, little did I know but this would turn out to be one the best things that's happened to me. Granted didn't figure that out for a while.

So, jump back to New Year's Day. I'm driving home from my friend's house and I'm feeling GREAT! It was a perfect night with laughter, tears, songs, more laughter, good food, lots of drinks, great friends and release!
Then I start balling. Sobbing. Uncontrollably. And at first I think it's about the ex but then I realize that he
was the furthest thing from my mind. But what is on my mind....
EVERYTHING'S GOT TO CHANGE.
So that's the beginning.
Part 2 tomorrow.
