Yep that's been me today! It's Sunday, I knew it would be rough. No work, appointments, or anything else consuming to do. My first act of the day was to throw my bathrobe into the wash, forgetting that my cell phone was still in the pocket. It's dead. Later I went shopping with my sis, when I got to the register the total was way more than I had added in my head. But I paid it anyway. There has been nothing to distract me the rest of today but a mild father's day dinner, and thoughts of the past. After elementary school he and I went our separate ways. But even at different schools we enjoyed the fabulous invention of AIM, and regularly e-mailed each other. Mostly jokey stuff. I told him about all of my love interests, and he commiserated with me when they didn't work out. We went to the movies often, never in a date context of course. Every year when my family threw our Halloween party his mom drove him to our house. One time as his family came to our door I went out to greet them in my strapless fairy dress. I don't remember what he was but he shot a nerf gun right at me and the little foam bullet fell straight between my boobs and got stuck. Those were good times, there are some adorable pictures of us together. He never had a girlfriend, and I think I secretly felt that he was mine.
