In my own little corner, In my own little chair

This weekend I went to a new ward. This is always an interesting adventure - you just never know what you're going to get. And, as I was sitting on the second-to-back row, I glanced over my left shoulder to see none other than my ex-boyfriend Dallas Erekson sitting with an incredibly stunning Allison Shields on the bench just inside the door. (aside: Allison and I had lunch in November? where she told me they were dating again... no word on if this is still the case, but it looked like it from where I was sitting.) Dallas always had a thought that even though we dated for like... ever? okay, if you add it all up like a year and a half... that one day you would run-into your old friend/ex in a Wal-mart and have nothing to say to them.

And as I sat in sacrament meeting I thought (in the middle of only boring testimonies) just how right he was. And I always thought I was right... How is it that someone goes from the most IMPORTANT person in your life to someone who you wish well, but is a casual acquaintance?

Unfortunately for all people put in the "I just broke-up with someone" boat, the only answer I've got right now is space. Lots of lots of space. And time. Two things I didn't bring with me on this voyage.

On the positive side, I'm taking about 1/2 the day off next Tuesday, saying "screw you, work and responsibilities" and going to Lagoon. It's the most exciting thing to have happen to me in weeks.
