I have never known/The likes of this/ I've been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight/ But other (boys) were never quite like this
Mmmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm...
Today was just 'one of those days'....
I didn't make it to meeting, simply because I've felt, well, sub-par the entire day. I'm not quite sure if it is something that I picked up from my mom this past weekend, or the interesting, but not-pleasant-in-the-least kind of surprise I had in store this afternoon. Anyway, I always like talking about the good things first. For Christmas last year (2009), I purchased my mom, my hubby and I tickets to see Disney's Finding Nemo On Ice. We finally got to see it last weekend. It was a long wait, but man, what a spectacular show! It was a little hard to follow for my mom though (she's never seen the animated version), so much of the time was spent explaining the plot to her as the story progressed. Even so, if a spectator who wasn't familiar with the story line went to this, there is no doubt they would have still enjoyed it. The colors used were dazzling, and the skaters themselves had so much character-depth and not to mention, STAMINA! I was very impressed to say the least. In the words of my SO, Check +, would buy from again. Unfortunately, my mom fell ill last Thursday or so, but was still a trooper enough to grin and bear it. But regardless, we all had an awesome time, at an awesome show, and ate at an awesome restaurant. The whole day was just...ahem, awesome.
Today, however is a different story. I'll only hit the highlights, and spare most of the details, but I've not felt 100% for the past day or so, and today was just the tip of the iceberg. This morning, after waiting a long, suspenseful weekend, I took an AHPT, and got a big, fat negative. I was so sure this time, but I guess my ovulation chart is somehow screwy...(gee, what else is new?) Sigh. And to top off the wonderful A.M. I had, I was 15 minutes late for my Spanish class (I'm the only one in the class), frizzy hair, naked face, and sweatclothes in tow. I was looking pretty rough. Luckily though, since the hubby didn't have to go into work today, I got chauffeured around from location to location, and when class adjourned, I found him sitting quietly in the lobby of the college. But unfortunately for me, he was not the only significant person sitting there. An ex-boyfriend, whom I was rather serious with, was the first person my eyes greeted as I came sulking down the hallway, already feeling crappy. I've not seen him since I graduated high school, hoping that I would never have to again, and what do you know? The one day that I don't do my hair, no MK on my face to make me beautiful, and old sweats swallowing me whole, 70 lbs. heavier than he remembers me, he is there. I always promised myself the the next time I saw him, he was going to eat his heart out from how fantastic I looked, and his regret would swallow him whole, you know, the typical reaction...LOL, but alas...how wrong I was. (I wondered to myself if he even recognized me, from all the weight. I'm sure he did, but there is always the fractional shred of doubt...)I then casually walked up to my lovely chauffeur, smiled my biggest smile (all the while feeling Jerkass's eyes on the back of my head), and asked to leave, as soon as humanly possible.
I know it is nothing to those of who are long married, or proud singles, but it was a very long, difficult break-up, where I not only lost my SO, but my very best friend in the world. I've moved on, without a doubt, but the wounds are still slightly salty after this sad encounter. But life goes on, I suppose.
Starting weight - 275
Current weight - 264...I think.
That last bit had to be so upsetting. I'm sure you looked much better than you think though. Besides, in a county this size, you'll have many more opportunities to fill that loser with regret. Hey, you've just been back a few months, and you have already ran across him once by accident. More opportunities will come, and you'll be more and more lovely each time. :)
ReplyDeleteShe looked great. As for him... I thought he was at least 6 years older than me, but he's 6 years younger.
ReplyDeleteNemo on Ice was a ton of fun, though. Great show, gorgeous costumes, and it left almost nothing from the movie out, which is a pretty impressive achievement in that format.
