These thoughts in my head...ha

ALL MY EXES LIVE IN ...TENNESSEE...

I almost didn't post my thoughts today because sometimes things can be misconstrued because you do not want to call out names and you really cannot hear my tone in a blog.  That being said...I said why the heck not...ha  So, here goes...

I will be first to admit I have done some not so nice things at times when I was younger.  I admit to having been that silly girl crying over a boy who I thought at the time I could not live without <more than once or twice>...I wrote love notes and cards to boys proclaiming my undying love for them.  At the time...I felt like forever was what we would be.  But we all grow up and realize how young we were then.  But the memories are sweet and the yucky ones fade because you throw it in to the young and dumb category. 

We all have our old stuff from back in the day.  BUT...and here is the big BUT...I feel like after years pass by <like almost 20 years>  it is okay to speak and even be friendly to people and their families who were a part of my past.  But I realized this past week that I could be very wrong about this belief (in some cases)...haha

It happened in Wal-Mart the other day.  When you see "him" with his whole family in the aisle you are headed to.  The both of you have made eye contact and then the unexpected happens.  His kids look up at him then the whole family scatters.  Awkwardness hits and there you are about to turn on the same aisle hoping when you make the turn that he just went on somewhere else...but no...he is standing there acting like he did not just see you with his back turned...

OH... NO.... HE DIDN'T.

For lack of a better idea... I say in my dearest and kindest voice...How are you? 

In a flash it all comes back to me about that forever part concerning "this one"...in his grumpiest and most nasty and hateful voice he says "FINE"!  Why I then asked about his mother is beyond me...not a happy moment.  So, I just moved on.  Which is great advice for him, don't ya think.  haha 

I can laugh about this because I cherish all the people <and their families> who have been a part of my life now and back in the day...Maybe it can be awkward but my intentions are just to say hello.  Honestly, it just isn't in my nature to totally "diss"someone in Wal-Mart. 

This world really is a small place...can't we all just get along?  heehee

THE ELF NOT ON A SHELF...

I received this photo via Lydia of my brother spreading Christmas cheer at the gas station.  He is so happy and positive it disgusts me.  haha  I miss you, Bub!
