Upon being introduced to his wife, it turned out that her name rhymed with mine, so I said, "That's easy to remember!" because I'm usually so terrible with names. My friend and my ex stared at me for a second, then busted up laughing, at which point I had to clarify, "I meant for me!"Ara Burklundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449683179737319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-48007068037041415572009-01-14T06:50:00.000-08:002009-01-14T06:50:00.000-08:00What a foul way to meet an ex again!My "Dream Isla...What a foul way to meet an ex again!<BR/><BR/>My "Dream Island Job" was posted online and I found it at bbc.com--I know--is it awesome or what?<BR/><BR/>My most recent bad run in was with my mother--when she discovered we'd secretly brought my mother-in-law to Disney World with us--and probably guessed (quite accurately) that we footed her bill.

The host introduced my hubby and I to the guy I dated and he shook my hand like he had never met me before. My hubby smirked later and said, "He acted like he didn't know you!" I knew he did! So later I confronted him and said, "I'm Kelly!" He acted cool and said, "Yeah, I know!"

So they gave me pain meds in the meantime. When I did meet with the surgeon, he explained the procedure and asked, "Well, do you have any questions?" I said, "This is a long-shot, but my EX is a surgical tech, and I'm wondering if he ever helps you in the OR." The surgeon sez "what's his name?" and I said, "EX". "Oh, sure, sure, EX assists me all the time." I nearly fainted before he said, "...but never for this sort of procedure."<BR/>* : )<BR/>close call, huh.hope505https://www.blogger.com/profile/17009340882214475628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-67528832734884763202009-01-13T09:15:00.000-08:002009-01-13T09:15:00.000-08:00Way back when I used to imbibe - frequently - I ha...Way back when I used to imbibe - frequently - I had a conversation with this one woman. The next day, I thought about that talk and realized I only remembered bits and pieces. My alcoholic blackouts tended to be sporadic. The last bit I remembered was me telling her I loved her. She, being involved with someone else, said 'Thank you'.<BR/><BR/>I remember the moment of clarity when I understood what I was really feeling and it wasn't romantic love. Then my memory ended. I don't know what went on during the rest of that conversation.<BR/><BR/>Fast forward a bit and this time, I'm sober. She lets me know she's single and gives me a 'significant look'. No idea if it related to that earlier conversation. No idea what I was supposed to say. No idea if she expected me to sweep her up in my arms - which I had no desire to do. Very awkward for me. No idea what was in her head either as I was so deeply entrenched in mine.Sarah Laurensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252565450452195395noreply@blogger.com
