When Divorce goes Literal...

Husband takes half the house

March 12, 2007 12:00am

A 43-YEAR-OLD German decided to settle his imminent divorce by chainsawing a family home in two and making off with his half in a forklift truck

Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said on Friday the trained mason measured the single-story summer house - which was some 8 meters (26 feet) long and 6 meters wide - before chainsawing through the wooden roof and walls.

"The man said he was just taking his due," said a police spokesman. "But I don't think his wife was too pleased."

After finishing the job, the man picked up his half with the forklift truck and drove to his brother's house where he has since been staying.

Kinda funny. Even though I hate what divorce does to people.

So last night I went with Chris to see "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" which was playing in York. It's his favorite musical, so I was excited to see it. The theater didn't open till the show was supposed to start, and then we learned that a significant number of the cast members had gotten sick and were unable to perform. We stayed anyway, and I still thought the show was good. I liked the variety of the music. It was nice to see Chris on a Monday (I miss him now that I only see him Friday-Sunday) - and it was our 4 monthiversary, so that was fun too :)

Tonight I'm going to see my mom, the first time post-Mexico. She's so cute, she can't wait to show me pictures, and tell me about her trip. I love that she's so excited, and that she had a good trip. She's not really keen on travel, so I think this helped a lot.

I'm eating a really delicious chocolate chip cookie right now. I just thought I should share that. Have a great Tuesday, all!
