We have them for a reason

As I let out a sigh of relief, I also look around the room to make sure no other surprises are abound.  So, I’d like to blame this whole thing on Trey who told me not to shoot all the dogs just because one has fleas…remember that?  Well, thing about that Trey is the fact that the one who had fleas…has had them for 45 years for a reason…and most often those red flags are there to us to take notice…or fleas, what have you.

Gentleman caller came out.  Gentleman caller has left…early.  THAT WAS A TRAIN WRECK.  And he is not a gentleman…just so that we’re clear.

Kathryn was appalled by the whole insane story.  The fact that he nearly attacked me within seeing me for the first hour to not answering my phone calls for 14 hours to ending it on the high beautiful note of “you need to have Jesus in your life” (prior to his sweeping blanketed judgment calls on my life).  Ugh.  And as Kerry cried out laughing “Hooray, he didn’t let me down, I knew he’d go all crazy religious on you”.  Kristen made me feel better, “you are taking chances and your moving forward with you life…yes, it didn’t work out as planned but I’m so proud of you putting yourself out there”.  Kaylyn was so disappointed in him for she has been his number one fan for awhile now.  Kelly had me laughing through tears while she shared with me how she has almost signed up to one of my “packaged deals” but she saw that her guy looked like a chicken and couldn’t pull the trigger.  ”At least your guy looks like a Greek god…however he sounds like Forest Gump”.  Kathryn apologized profusely for not discouraging me from it all.  She knew him from years past but she was hoping for the best.  The best was hearing Robin’s silence on the other end of the phone and saying “when I think it can’t get worse, it just does”.

I want to roll around in sage.  I’m somewhat confused to why any of this happened.  But here’s what I know…my instinct said no to this and I didn’t listen it…well, I did but I then went back and changed my mind…discarded my instinct…pushed my beautiful bold instinct aside and forged ahead.  Yes, Kristen, I did take a chance but I also appreciate so much of what Kerry said “Just because someone is a nice guy doesn’t mean you have to give him a chance…there are plenty of good ones out there…don’t waste your time on ones that haven’t cut the apron strings.”  Yep.  red flag.  bag of fleas.  instinct radar alerted.

Can someone actually roll in sage?  Or does it only do it’s job if it’s on fire?  If so…I’ll pass on rolling in it…but I must cleanse myself from this odd bizarro experience.
