+/- Weekend/Monday Things

+ I spent some time with my family this weekend, including my adorable nephews. The eldest one and I took that Snapchat. He doesn’t quite understand how Snapchat works that it may take people hours or even a day to reply. He likes sending them, but wants instant feedback.

+ I took an hour and a half nap yesterday AND went to sleep by 10pm. I feel great today! It is amazing what sleep will do for you!

+ I took a walk through my neighborhood yesterday evening, just to get moving again and to enjoy the evening. That tree is gorgeous and smells amazing!

– I think I have some sort of fatal flaw that gives me a short shelf life in relationships. There must be something inherently awful about me because, in my experience, men just leave. And most of the time, they just ghost me. It really gets a girl down sometimes. Dating is the worst. The absolute worst.

+ My hair looks pretty great today. So that’s something.

+ Today is my Monday, and tomorrow is my Friday. I’m taking 3 days off this week to shop and relax with my mom. I’m pretty excited as I currently hate my wardrobe and really need a distraction from the state of my (non-existent) relationships.

+ Less than 3 weeks until two-o-nine and runningfortheriesling come to Lincoln! Can’t wait to see funhappylife2 and lifekicksback too!

So there were more pluses than minuses…I just think that Minus is a pretty big one. Le Sigh. Sorry for the downer post, friends. But thanks for listening.

I can’t make this stuff up!

I went to a wedding for a former co-worker tonight. Another former coworker decided (as she and her husband were leaving) that I needed to find a man at this wedding. So she stopped by this table where 2 guys approximately around my age where sitting and asked if they were single.

She then called me over and introduced me as her “Single friend Melissa”. She said those 2 men were also single and that we should hang out and dance later.

I was MORTIFIED! I am fairly sure I turned bright red and did my best to shake their hands and hide it, but still. Inside I was dying.

Needless to say after she left, I quit chatting with them, and went back to my friends; completely red with embarrassment and feeling a little more pathetic about being single.

Weddings will do that to you, I suppose.

Wanna know the BEST part?

The ex that just got engaged last night asked the Nebraska Husker Basketball coach to help him out and make a video to help him propose to his girlfriend. The coach obliged. The video is becoming pretty popular on youtube. (I’m not linking to it, sorry!)

So OF COURSE our sports department did a story on it for the news at 6pm today! As the Sports Director was downloading it I saw it, and said something to him. He said he had talked to the Coach as well. I said, “That’s my ex-boyfriend."

The Sports Director started laughing and said "Ouch!"

Pretty much, dude. Pretty much.

I told my co-workers at Corky about this. They said that this would only happen to me! Seems right.

I also remembered that another ex-boyfriend recently got engaged a few weeks ago! It’s the girl he started dating after me as well! I know, I know. I don’t want to be with any of these exes, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not sad that I’m still alone, ya know?

That makes 1 former boyfriend who married the next girl after me, and 2 that are engaged, and 1 that is nearly engaged. I’m doing AWESOME!

Thanks for the words of encouragement friends!
