ego ego ego

i've been sick for about a week now and so i've had very little time to write, see friends, hear stories, or just about anything.  it's nice to be feeling a bit better but i'm not out of the woods just yet.  i digress...

in spite of being sick i did decide to go on a walk with my friend Jenn last week.  since being sick i've had to cease my training because, well, i can't breathe!

jenn is one of my best friends.  she is amazing.  she is smart, fun, sweet, and beautiful.  however, she has one flaw...her ex.

like many of our ex's he is still 'around'.  he's one of those we can't shake 'em ex's - even if it is to our detriment.  so she still talks to him, sees him, blah blah blah.  i sit back, listen and seriously do not judge - been there done that, i am in no place to judge anyone, as evidenced by my lack of decision making ability.

back to the walk, jenn and our chat.  so Jenn's ex is still hanging around and he's well, what would i say about him?  first i would say i don't know him.  i would say i have met him once, he was leaving as i was arriving.  i would then say he isn't very nice to her IMO (in my opinion) and i would have to say he has the ego the size of texas.  so was it any surprise the other night while having a conversation with Jenn he said, "it must be nice to talk to me". 

yep, you read it, "it must be nice to talk to me".  you see, he feels he brings some light to her life.  he is the epiphany she has been waiting for.  had she not had HIM to talk to well, she may not have worked through her stuff.  you see apparently this educated woman would be nothing had she not had him to talk to. 

bottle it.  put a cap on it.  save it.  that might be the BEST thing I have ever heard from anyone.  any woman or man.  that level of ego is just delicious.  how do you make that shit up?  you don't. 

ah, thank you jenn's ex - i am getting hours of entertainment off of this nugget.

i saw this photo and it just fit - perfect.  I am days away from my event in chicago and i am so tired.  i am excited though because it's nearly 8 p.m. and i am "sooooo" close to being 100% ready.  a few loose ends and i am gold!

friends

 

oh i am working too much these days - i have an event in 11 days - doh!  and when it's 'event time' i let my friends know that it will be challenging for me to stay in touch.  but what i am finding, this time, is that i am not willing to let that be the case.  i'm not willing to say you, my friend, are second to my work. 

so, thanks to the magic of facebook, i am able to stay in touch and still work.  it's a fabulous thing.  we engage in stimulating conversation, silly chats, and schedule our next meet and greet (uh oh, the event business has just penetrated my real life).  meet and greet?  no dear, it's called a drink.

so, to my dear friends, thank you for your patience and we will connect soon.

issues

so i was talking to my friend today and i was lamenting about my life.  i'm tired. i'm sad. my feet hurt.  i miss my kid.  i'm in a different time zone.  my hotel room isn't cold enough and there is nothing on tv.

her response: "you have all sorts of issues"

I feel better.
