So, last night after a harrowing day of seeing Levi and signing our divorce agreement, my friends decided to throw me a divorce party. Anyone on First Wives been to one? It was supposed to be a surprise but I saw the "Happy Divorce" cake in my friend's refrigerator, so I had some idea. It was a lot of fun.

At first I was pretty apprehensive about the idea of celebrating the end of my marriage. But it went well and we didn't bash Levi--well, not too much--and we had a blast.

My friends sang "For she's a jolly good single." I got a slew of gag gifts, including the biggest dildo I've ever seen and an ex-husband voodoo doll! We had a few toasts. I actually toasted to Levi for all the good that came out of my marriage, for all I've learned, for all the wisdom I've gained and for my beautiful son.

I realized last night that I was celebrating the beginning of my new life. A celebration of my "reinvention" and a fresh start. I'll be moving to New York City and starting a new job in a couple of weeks so it really does feel like I'll be starting over.

The closure that came along with that realization was phenomenal. I feel like a new woman today. Now, the only question I have is: What do I do with the leftover "Happy Divorce cake?" I know you're supposed to freeze the first slice of wedding cake and keep it for a year, but what about " Divorce Cake"? Anybody know?
