I have had the strangest few days… Maybe the planets are aligned some crazy way…
Earlier this week I was at Cracker Barrel for lunch on a weekday (which is HIGHLY unusual for me), when I noticed that a lady standing behind me who looked very familiar. I knew her. Haven’t seen her since 1989! And even then, she was an acquaintance, not a good friend. Anyway, I spoke to make sure- it was her. She was vacationing near here, and she still lives in our hometown, 2 hrs. away.
Yesterday afternoon I decided to look up some blogs on myspace.com- just out of curiosity. I put in my hometown zip code and found 1 profile that I recognized. This guy had been the boyfriend of one of my high school friends. Then down the list of his friends’ comments was my very first boyfriend!!! I have googled this old boyfriend of mine several times because I have been so curious where he went, how he turned out in life! Plus, I had heard rumors that he was a stripper at one point. Haven’t seen him since 1987. Anyway, he has a profile on myspace, and is the lead singer for some band. From his appearance in his photo, it is probably a speed metal / grunge band. He is all tatted up, with a goatee. Not my type at all, but I have had to stifle the urge to leave him a message, make contact, see if he remembers me. What do ya’ll think? (I am very happily married.)
Then last night I was at a book signing, and my friend’s husband walked by. I was so surprised to see someone I recognized that I spoke to him, and he was very nice, even waited in line with me for a couple of minutes to chat. Thing is, she’s not happy and planning to leave. It was very awkward on the inside for me…
Hope you all are having a great week- and hope ya’ll have a terrific weekend!!
