A neenish tart for a broken heart.

A neenish tart and I found each other on Tuesday morning after I'd spent yet another night of my life crying over a man. When I saw it, it was love at first sight. It was pink and chocolatey but stuck in my throat and made me feel like vomiting. I would like to make a very public point here about honesty. Sometimes its better to shield someone from the whole truth. It is NOT nice to tell someone you want to break up a relationship (of any description) and ADD that you have a better offer for this Saturday night. I don't want to know about how easy it is for him to move on. I didn't think I needed to know he's got a date for this very Saturday. Jeez. Surely there can be a break up etiquette invented where it's just a wound not a wound with salt thrown in on top.
All the neenish tarts in the world are not going to solve this one. I'm just going to keep on running. Worse things have certainly happened to me.
Today's revelation: "SO what, I'm still a rock star, I've got my rock moves, and I don't need you, and guess what, I'm having more fun, and now that we're done, I'm going to show you, Tonight I'm alright, I'm just fine, and you're a tool. So, SO WHAT!" Pink

The truth is more powerful than fiction

I'm supposed to be updating my resume, so naturally I'm procrastinating as much as humanly possible. University has finished for a while and I feel relieved.
I've got just a little bit to say today about how strangely life can do back flips and keeps me on my toes. The major life lesson I've learned in the last few weeks is that the truth is more powerful than fiction. Reality is a matter of each person's individual perspective. My perspective has been a little strained recently but now I'm aware of a few things that will help in the path ahead:
1. My children are FIRST (I've always known this)
2. The kids don't like conflict and should not be exposed to it.
3. Even ugly people partner up eventually.
4. It's important not to get any more cats.
5. "Haven't I seen you somewhere before" is the most pathetic cheesy pick up line in the entire universe.
6. Friends are very important.
7. Patience is a virtue that I wish I had.
8. List making always helps (I've always known this too)

More on Point number 5. A little story to entertain you this afternoon,
I'm at the petrol station the other day just about to get in my car to drive away when a guy who can't walk very well comes over and says:-
Bleeding guy: Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
Me: No, no  I don't think so
Bleeding guy: I'm sure I have, I forget names but I never forget a face
Me: I'm sure I don't know you and did you know your arm is bleeding (looking at a horrible arm wound oozing blood)
Bleeding guy: Ahh yes it is, well I guess if you don't know me... but could we have met at a party?
Me: No I don't know you
Bleeding guy: Seeya
Me: Bye
 
I blame my jacket for being extremely hot. Why can't it attract someone who wants to come to the MCA with me and eat a meal with me that is cooked by someone else? The bleeding guy takes my prize in life as the ultimate in awfully awkward chat up lines. Honestly. At least it made me laugh... After driving away. The poor guy was just having a go I suppose. My advice to the bearers of bad chat up lines is this, quite simply, don't be oozing blood while you chat to women who have hot jackets.
