Random Thought Monday!

It's the return of RTM.

1) This week I am starting off with an incredibly embarrassing moment that occurred this weekend. I will spare you some of the gory details, so let's sum it up by saying that Lawyer came across a website on my computer from when Doctor and I were looking at rings. Ouch. I mean...what to do? I didn't want him to think that I was looking for rings for he and I. Overeager much?? Besides, over the past few months I have discovered that I do NOT want to do the traditional engagement/wedding thing AT ALL. The other alternative is to tell the truth..."oh, don't worry about that, that was from my last BF who apparently was so fucking recent that I haven't cleared my browsing history since then"...no. I haven't told him that entire story, and I don't want to start there! My only saving grace is that I had JUST told him minutes ago about how I used to take jewelry making lessons and have researched and bought some things for myself online. Still.

This is the kind of embarrassment that only happens once in a blue moon, thank God. The kind that takes DAYS to wear off. Hopefully I will stop cringing inside soon.

2) Now, in an attempt to feel less embarrassed myself I am going to embarrass someone else. Lawyer told me this weekend that he once walked in to the bathroom to discover his ex-fiancee shaving her nipples. What makes this infinitely funnier is the fact that she totally convinced him that all women shave their nipples. He went along for years believing this. Hilarious. Poor girl. I shouldn't laugh. We all have embarrassing things about our bodies and I would die if I were her and found out my ex was discussing them with his current girlfriend. My nipples hurt just typing this out. Shaving? Really? I mean, what happens if your alarm doesn't go off one morning and you are running late and miss it? Do you get stubble? The horror.

3) Last night I gave The Cutest Dog In The World a bath. Every time I bathe him, his hair gets instantly longer. He used to have this cute curly hair around his little butt. Now it seriously looks like he is wearing fringed pants. Part of me thinks it is amusing, the other part of me knows it has to go. So I guess now I am trimming dog butt hair? Love knows no bounds, my friends. He does look really cute in his new naughty/nice Christmas collar, though.

4) I recently had a run in with the local Junior League. Gag me with a spoon. Seriously. I mean, I appreciate the occasional monogrammed item or headband but these women are hardcore. All the women in Doctor's family were in the JL. I probably would have gotten roped into it had I stuck around. Then I would have spent my life hating myself for not fitting that mold. Close call.

5) Speaking of Doctor, I talked to him online last week. It was really really nice. Just a normal conversation. How are you, here is what is new, etc. Just how I pictured it always would have been. I feel a sense of closure and peace that I didn't feel before. I am so glad that things ended, but I really wanted us to remain civil.

6) I am ready for some serious girl time. Lawyer stayed with me the last three nights. I am struggling with this right now. I swore to myself that I would never let things get the way they were with Doctor. I would never faux-cohabitate, let my life intertwine with someone else's so that when we broke up I had to untangle myself. But when Lawyer isn't there I feel seriously depressed. I miss him terribly. Which disgusts me, because I hate feeling co-dependent.

Anyway, with all that Lawyer time (which I ate up like some kind of junkie) I am feeling a little female-deprived. Luckily, Roomie has agreed to go out with me Tuesday night (holla!) and we are having a girls night, going dancing this Saturday night with another friend. I cannot WAIT. I already have an outfit planned. In the meantime, tonight is going to suck. I was just getting used to that cute tall guy in my bed.

7) Roomie is quite possibly going to move to France for 2 years starting in May. I cannot begin to delve in to the depths of how that will change my life. She is my partner in crime, my confidant, my very best friend. We are like life partners, we have lived together so long now. We have our routines down. What am I going to do without her? For Christmas this year, I made her a photo book (free thanks to Snapfish and Oprah) of a bunch of things we have done over the years. I am really proud of how it turned out. It took like 9 hours to finish. I hope she will take it with her and know that I miss and love her.

That's all I got this week :)
