Break time again...

[susandennis]

I knew I was headed for 10-12 hour days for the next 14 days straight but I found out this morning that those 14 days might well turn into 21 or 28. I'm too old. And about the time I was trying to figure out how I was going to cope, I got an email from machupicchu telling me that the movie I want to see (Paul) opens this weekend at my favorite movie theater, they have an 11:30 showing on Saturday and why don't we meet for breakfast first.

OMG yes. Just the kind of break I need at the perfect time. Yay!

So now all I have to do is make it to Saturday. I can do that, I think. The Mariners game is on TV tonight so that will be a lovely treat.

I had a most bizarre dream involving my ex-husband last night. He rarely shows up anywhere - dreams, thoughts, whatever. We have been divorced now for more than 30 years... Then I realized his birthday is in a few days. If he's still alive, he'll be 84. He was a lovely man. Deadly dull but lovely and I'm sure he still is - just maybe duller.

Ok, time now to get back to work. At least I have a lovely dinner to look forward to. I don't think I can appreciate Chef Anita more than I do right now. But, I'm probably wrong about that.

Wow. What a random subject to have come up. I'm curious about the story behind all of that, even though it was 30 years ago. Goodness, that is a long time.

ahh, it's not that interesting. I was 30 -- by bff at that time said that I did it (got married) because I hadn't done it before and was bored (she was probably right) -- It was a mistake from the start. We both wanted wives and we both got disappointed. I stuck it out for about 2 and a half years but I knew before I finished eating the cake that it was a mistake. At least I learned that being married was not something I ever needed to do again!

Well, that makes sense. I had a boyfriend for the same reason, once, but I knew early on it was a mistake, too. And those are things you just can't learn except from experience. *shrugs*

“Deadly dull but lovely”

... sounds like me! :P

Self awareness takes a good bit of the dull off...

I think the big diff is that he had NO idea he was dull and, in fact, would lamely (and dully) try to argue the opposite.

Dull is sometimes very good!

"Lovely Man and EX husband" haha would never be in the same sentence for most- or at least with my experience!!! But I too can have those dreams about my Ex in which they can flavor my attitude for the whole day.. And just a note- I would give anything to now date a "Deadly dull" fellow instead of "the life of the party" which is who I mistakenly married. Live & Learn..

Oh I totally do! I even have a google alert set up to catch his name but... it never turns up. If he's alive, he most likely in Charlotte, NC so I keep an eye on the obits there. Any other suggestions?
