8.6.08 Sloppy Seconds
|
I was sooo looking forward to spending last night at home, cleaning, and enjoying my favorite day of the week ... garbage day! Obviously that didn't happen. I am so easily influenced into GIRLS NIGHT OUT. I opted out of being a bum and instead sipped on frozen mango margaritas (no salt) on the patio at La Tolteca! Mmm! By the way, if I heard "La Bamba" one more time I swear I was going to grab the trumpet out of the cute little mans hand and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
Girls night was great ... until it turned into ex-boyfriend chat which is never a good idea when you're enjoying a couple cocktails. Honestly, i'm not the type of person who really cares to know who my ex is with now, what she looks like, what her name is, or what she does for a living. It's totally irrelevant. At some point in our lives, someone gets our sloppy seconds and vice versa. I hate rehashing on past relationships. They are over because that's the way it's supposed to be. If you're lucky enough to be able to be friends with the person, that's amazing and it takes two very strong, stable people to be able to handle that. I really wish we didn't have to go down that road everytime there's a girls night. It's just totally irrelevant to where you're at now. You know? I've been single now for about a month and a half... and in that month and a half ... I've done SO much. I've gone away almost every weekend. I've spent quality time with college friends, high school friends, and family. I've met new people, had wild nights out, and quiet nights at home. I love my life ... it's ups and it's downs. As women, I think we need to learn to reprogram our brains to not care so much about what people in our past are doing now ... unless you're friends now. The whole ex-hating, man bashing, put-down-your-loser-low-life-ex chatter just doesn't do it for me. It's not worth your breath, your emotions, or your time.
So, next time you're having girls night ... have a "No Ex Talk Rule." It's just better for your well being.
