Since the separation, I've had the overwhelming urge to dye my hair red or pink, get a huge tattoo, pierce something or basically do something drastic.

Anyone else do this? Did you follow through, do you regret it? Or was it empowering?

Nothing crazy yet, but have done a few things that some would say are. But for me their not, I just wan't "allowed" to do it because he said I couldn't. Psshht!

Got another tatoo, have one more to get.
Have thrown away my entire wardrobe minus uniforms and basics.

Got a credit card...hee hee

And seriously considering going to Vegas by myself!!

I bought the mop and mop bucket I wanted.

No, seriously, that's as crazy as I got.

I have huge ta-ta's now.

No, just kidding. I always had those.

I did get a tattoo, and will get another or two.... and I met an amazing person in the mirror, well somewhat amazing.

Oh and I'm SERIOUSLY considering dying my hair jet black again. I always liked it like that. My hair is dark brown as it is, but I like the Jet Black look on me.

Nothing crazy...but did make the following changes...

*I returned my hair to its original hair color and letting it grow long.
* Bought sexier clothes.
* Started exercising.
* Started attending church more frequently.

I am planning on getting a tattoo. Never had one before. I am basically going to wait until the divorce is finalized before I get it though. Kind of a finalization of things and start of a new life.

What are you thinking tat wise?

Got two tattoos and a nose piercing. Grew a pair of webos and stood up to my ex. Redid the outside and inside of a house we bought 26 years ago (roof, siding, gutters, plumbing, added a closet, dry walled and made over half of the inside, and got real furtniture!)....got a brand new attitude too!
I got crazy in a good way....it is soooo empowering :)
