My Hope-oscopes for today are a little off:
I don't think there are any decision currently on the table so whatever.
Um, my goal for the day is to clean out a filing cabinet. It ain't exactly Mardi Gras. Maybe I'll have to put on some music and rock out in my office.
By the way, today is the day Friendster Guy and X (and maybe High School Guy) all meet and my head explodes. Nothing about that in my horoscope.
I talked to Friendster Guy last night to check in on his comfort level with this crazy endeavor. He's definitely nervous and/or uncomfortable but he's willing to give it a shot. You gotta give him bonus points for that. He's such a good guy. Technically, if he is going to stay with me (which I hope he will) this was bound to happen sooner or later. It's a small town for one thing and for another my X has been adopted as a friend of my family. I'm ok with that but it can't be an easy thing for someone who hasn't even met my family to realize their spot as my significant other was 1) already filled at one time, and 2) not 100% empty in the eyes of my family. My family members aren't doing this to be mean. On the contrary, it's because they are so nice and accepting. They really like X and can't help keeping him around. It will slowly fade as he doesn't go to all the events and then eventually leaves the area. But for the next year or so, any serious boyfriends I have are going to have to be at events with my family and potentially my X. It's better they meet now at a bar with lots of other people than at my sister's birthday party.
I asked Friendster Guy how I should introduce him tonight.
"That's up to you." he said.
"Then I'm going to introduce you as my boyfriend."
"Whatever makes you happy." he replied.
He said it nicely but it sounded like a bit of a cop out so I said, "It's not about what makes me happy. It's about what makes sense and sounds like the right thing. Does boyfriend sound like the right definition."
"That sounds about right."
"Good. That's gonna make it a heck of a lot easier tonight when I introduce you two to everyone."
If you recall, Friendster Guy and X have the same first name. Now at least I can say this is my boyfriend "Joe" and this is my friend/ex-husband "Joe". Thank god High School Guy has a different name.
LOVE "Your charm and your intelligence are formidable [Well duh!]. Make sure you're not subtly using them to intimidate your honey into a decision that they're not quite ready to make. Let them get there on their own."
I don't think there are any decision currently on the table so whatever.
CAREER "It doesn't really matter what you're doing throughout the day, as you will doubtless enjoy your work. You've got a knack for squeezing fun out of any situation, and right now it's supercharged."
