Hello....Can You Hear Me...

Ahh yes, someone came back.  hello there, random stranger on the internet.  Well im going to update you on all the boring details of my life aren’t you glad you came back.  

Starting with obviously the most boring details, like Im still at the same job when I last wrote, going on 5 years.  I do fairly decent here, with only minute trivial complaints.  Which is the best you can hope for under most circumstances.  I have a good relationship with my boss and since I did get my paralegal certificate in 2014, I was able to move up a bit in title/salary.  Nothing extravagant, but in reading my older posts I did bitch a lot about living paycheck to paycheck and not having enough money to do fun things.  Well I still live paycheck to paycheck, but only because I spend a lot of money cattering (not a real word I know, but I kinda like it so Im taking credit for inventing it right here and right now) around and doing fun things and I don’t feel bad about it, not one bit.  Like that wine trip I took in early 2014 to Napa Valley with a bunch of fun and kooky gals.  So much fun and worth every penny.  Or the fact that I am now an official Disney Vacation Club Member which means I can go to Disney every year and stay in their deluxe hotels.  I'm still a Disney fanatic.  Even if my trip in 2012, was a bit anticlimactic, I see now that was just me (ALL ME) and where I was in my life then.  I still live in the same apartment I had moved into shortly before I quit blogging, and I still like it and the surrounding area.  Family updates, my son moved back from Florida, but he works all the time and I rarely see him.  My dad passed away in 2014, after a long illness and 2-year stay at a nursing home.  I am still processing that but will save it for when i feel like writing a heavier, more thoughtful blog.  Mommie Dearest is still around and we get along most days. We even hang out once in awhile.  She has a boyfriend!  Who knew Mommie Dearest would get cool later in life.  

Speaking of boyfriends, I have none.  But what about the revolving door of “mofos” as I used to refer to them (I no longer use that word, if only because it sounds dated now-the current term is fuckboy).  some updates on them (nothing too juicy, try to stay awake).  

• Old Friend, did end up getting married and no I did not crash the wedding to object (though I did seriously consider it as I have watched one too many romcoms and telenovelas).  They welcomed a child not too long ago, or so I’ve heard.  I kinda regret that I never gave him a proper chance back when he was available to me.  But that was a lifetime ago.  
• Vanilla Boy or was it BiPolar Kooks, whatever, he still pops up every now and then, for what, im not sure, I guess its only when he has no other option.   Saw him last December and haven’t seen or spoken to him since.  He, like myself, never married and has spent his life just dating and cattering around (ha, my word!).  
• Of the Beast, I never saw or spoke to him again.  Well I guess I shoudn't say never and jinx myself, so let me rephrase that.  I have thus far managed to avoid crossing paths with him for the past 7 years and fingers crossed it continues that way.  I’ve long since forgiven him of course but I don’t need to ever tell him that.  im sure he could care less in any event. 
• MOFO Ex (might need to rename this one…Head Fuckboy?), recently made a reappearance after a 4-year hiatus in the DeadZone (remember the DeadZone, where all unwanted fuckboys(mofos) go to rest). we reconnected, we made peace, might have cattered around a bit, till he mentioned he was seeing someone and that promptly put an end to any further cattering about.  He occasionally texts me to say hello, always late at night (when else, in true fuckboy form-can a fuckboy ever change his spots)  but it doesn’t really bother me as Im not that invested to actually give a fuck.  Should I ever have an itch that needs to be scratched, I know who to call.  Thank you Fuckboy Ex (im going with that one for now, but it doesn’t quite feel right). 
• The last update will be The One Who Got Away, because for the rest, I haven’t heard from them, probably since I last blogged about them.  So The One Who Got Away was happily married with a child last time we checked in.  Turns out he wasn’t so happily married and he got divorced a year or so ago.  Bitter breakup I heard but I’ve yet to find proof of it.  They seem amicable enough on their facebook posts, or so I heard.  I have to hear a lot of things second hand these days because I left Facebook at beginning of 2015 (couldn’t take the whining anymore and yes I know I was Head Whiner, that’s my point).  And we all know that is where we get all the juicy gossip and drama from.  I now have to hear it second hand so im sure some details get distorted. So here he is divorced and he’s still “got away”. [ Insert ‘Why Does Life/God/Universe Hate Me’ bitchrant]  I did secretly stalk him for several months via his Instagram page, but he must have sniffed me out because his page went private.  Dammit.  I doubt he remembers me tho, its been too long.  But I always, always remember him.  did I mention I never dated him.  I think I have but it bears repeating.  The one guy I never got over is the one I actually never dated.  There is a hidden joke somewhere in there I think.  I still hope we cross paths again some day but im also not so interested that I would try to engineer this fateful meeting myself.  I mean, I could if I really wanted to, I happen to know one place he goes to on a regular basis, or you guessed it, so I heard.  i've held off from doing so for the time being because I think its more boredom that had me lurking around his Instagram more than anything else.  A curiousity, to see what could have been even though its years too late.  We’re too different now. 

That’s it for the updates.  while I dated a guy last year (who I will probably blog about one day when im bored and feeling catty and spiteful), I don’t have any other guys I could write about at this time.   I spend my free time, reading lots of books, watching the occasional cheesy sci-fi (I think I’ve seen them all), hanging out with friends, drinking wine, and occasionally making a fool out of myself. I do have more friends and I do go out and socialize a lot more than I did in the past.   I have 2 social events this week alone and my face decided to be spiteful and break out all over.  One involves a party where I will be seeing people I haven’t seen in awhile.  im sure that will create some colorful musings on my part, after the fact.  Till then.
