Learning

It is a nice idea to learn something new everyday. Here are some things I have learned,or relearned,recently:

• Boy cuts rock, especially on older women, as opposed to the "grandma" [the short perm look] and buns [or variations on buns/wraps/braids] hair. Yes. When my hair goes gray, it will also be going short. Looks hot. 
• Money is always coming and going. It is better to not get attached to it, when you have it or when you don't. 
• I am good at what I do. And people in my life love me. I have friends. 
• Shaving is not as arduous as I thought.
• Making excuses only hurts you and others. 
• Good things are worth waiting for. Also worth letting go when they are gone. 
• It is okay to leave some,maybe most,books unread or unfinished.

Haunting

I had the realization tonight, that I am horrified of running into my ex-husband. As much as I try and pretend everything is okey-dorey... things ended with him telling me he never wanted to see me again or talk to me again. Now, it has been two and a half years since we split up. And we have never run into one another randomly yet. But I feel like, living in the same town, it is only a matter of time. And then what?

"Oh, hi there. how are you? hope you have gotten over some of you issues. I know i have been working on mine. no hard feelings by the way,right?"

Or do we just do an awkward glaring/glancing thing, and not speak?

Or do I go ninja and karate chop him?

See my dillema?

Maybe I should leave town... I keep telling everyone how much I want to... that should eliminate some of the anxiety, eh? Or would it only make it increase with the decreased, and therefore dramatically increased chance that we would run into each other randomly. I mean, seeing him at a local coffee shop is much more probable than running into him at the foreign [perhaps Europe-bound?] airport as he is arriving and I am leaving the country... So in some parallel universe, the mere fact that it is less probable begs the question of making it more probable, just so I trip out wondering how/why the universe fucks with me so...

Or I could just let it go...

Ha!
