It's Official, I am the dorkiest person alive.

OK, so we live very near where Tom grew up. Occasionally we see people he grew up with, on even more rare occasions I happen upon people that actually dated him.

I know, you are wondering "How do you happen upon people who used to kiss your husband all by yourself!?"

I KNOW!!!! It astonishes me too!!! It must be a freaky gift...

I would like to believe that people are just that open with me and we magically strike up conversations and next thing you know we figure out they used to tongue wrestle with my husband. Weird Huh?

But I am going to get real here at {Just another blog} and say:

I think (but I cannot prove, this is just my working theory) it has something to do with my big fat mouth and not knowing when to shut the hell up!

I'm just sayin'.

Ok back to my story

Today I am working and someone comes up to the register and we are chit chatting away. She tells me she is from Tom's hometown.

I should have shut up right there. I really should have. Because #1 it is Monday and it was a lazy hair day for me with minimal makeup. But I kept on talking....

me: Oh my husband is from there.
Girl: OH really what's his name?

I tell her his name and she says she does know him. I ask her name and low and behold it is one of his girlfriends from HS. I remember her name because he had a lot of pictures of her in his stash and I am so nosy so I asked him a lot of questions:

Who is this?
What's her name?
Did you really really like her?
Was she a good kisser?
Did you dump her or did she dump you?
Did you love her? (giggling)

So in my head I say "Ohh you dated Tom didn't you?" Except it wasn't just in my head, I actually said it OUT LOUD!! It was obvious she was looking me up and down and probably thinking...."Tom married you?" Which brings up a whole slew of self esteem issues I have with how I look but we will tuck that away for my therapist another day :D

OK, so at the point where I realized who she was I should have said "Self, shut the hell up!" But I didn't listen to my inside self instead I kept babbling on and on about how long we have been married, our kids, his job, blah blah blah. In my head it lasted forever but really it was just a minute because I was talking a mile a minute!

I really don't know what came over me. Honestly I don't think I am that dorky all the time. I think I got nervous and flustered becuase she wasn't a casual GF she was one he dated for months.

OK....and since we are keeping it real today, I know if I ran into the wife of a guy I used to make out with in High School I would be looking her over too! So would you. Yes, you would!!!

Anyway she finally managed to get away from me. I am SURE she left here thinking I was certifiable and laughing that her once boyfriend married such a dork!
