| Welcome to the Continuing Saga of As the Tummy Turns |
| Last we left our heroine Miss Kimmie, she was running from some creepy, ooky, stalker type who was �looking forward to spending some quality time� with her�let�s see if she is over the nausea that phrase brought on� Ugh, I swear my brother had a field day with that last one! And I will admit, in hindsight, there was a valuable lesson to be learned: men who use the phrase �quality time� are to be avoided. Seriously, my ex-boyfriend Geoffrey used that guilt inducing phrase every chance he got�I guess I am just not the clingy type, but I don�t need to see someone every day (give me time to miss you!) and I don�t care if the time we do spend together is �quality� or �quantity� � I have always said that it is not what you do that makes something fun; it�s who you do it with�except for yard work. That could never be fun. Even when I was 16 and had a crush on the local landscaper who looked like Mark Walberg in The Perfect Storm, only cleaner, I still did not enjoy yard work. But I digress� So! The fact that this blog has not been updated means that Ronnie and I never got back together; and at this point, I am kinda�glad isn�t the word�.maybe relieved? I feel like a traitor for saying that, because he IS going through a difficult time; but a good deal of the difficulties he brought on himself, by refusing to reach out to those that could help him. Anyhow, his life is in the #%$-heap right now, so I guess he really meant what he said when he texted me to end our engagement (yes, you read that right: he texted me�while I was at work). He said he couldn�t see himself being in a place to get married, not for better than 5 years and although he still loved me, it wasn�t fair to me to make me wait. So�has this organic diet I am on killed my taste buds, so I can no longer recognize the taste of bullsh� when it is being fed to me? Or was he being truthful? I�d never known him to lie to me in the past, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt; accept the fact that my heart has healed enough to move forward, and do just that� Now my only problem is the fact that I look about 23, even though I will be 34 in a few months�I attract young guns looking for an �older woman� and old men looking for barely legal women�and the occasional Eastern European, looking for an American wife so he can move out of the war zone�but that is another story, for another blog! Will Miss Kimmie ever find her true love? Or is she destined to give up, and marry a teenager from Kosovo? [Editor�s Note: It is the Albanians that IM me!] Stay tuned for more exciting episodes of As the Tummy Turns! |
