Guess what the fuck happened to me the other night?????  Lord a mercy.

A little background—I may have mentioned this.  The fireman and I have been together since 93.  We got married in 94, divorced in 05, back together six months later.  We are happy and are engaged, blah, blah, but haven’t remarried yet.  It’s our pot of stew, it works for us, and works well.

Anyhoo, I dated this stupid ass drummer in a cover band while we were broken up.  Yeah, I know, WTF was I thinking, but hey, it was good times.  He was a nice guy, he was just living this rock star fantasy of playing clubs all night, sleeping all day, a lot of drinkings, social drug useage.  He was a waste of time, but a fun time for awhile.  I have know Drummer Boy since middle school.  We were actually the best of friends for years and he was friends with the fireman, too.  Needless to say, when fireman found out, even though we were divorcing, it was not a good situation.

Fortunately, we both got our heads out of our asses and put our family back together, and it is great now.  Better than it ever was before.  Drummer Boy got really hurt in the sutuation.  We could NOT go back to being friends, all contact was cut off, and I am ashamed to say he was in love with me and wanted to make “a life” together, whatever the fuck that was!

Skip ahead to present day.  In the three years fireman and I have been back together I have only seen and spoken to Drummer Boy one time.  I ran into him at the grocery store.  It was civil and I actually apologized for hurting him and wished him well.  Well………….Wednesday night was Girl’s Night Out.  There is a little irish pub here in town we always go to.  I have been going there forever.  My town is not that big, about 100,000 strong.  I have never seen this guy out anywhere!  Mother fucker showed up to my bar the other night.  YEAH!

I got pains in my gut, seriously.  He was with his parents and some other girl that looked like shit, but whatever.  I didn’t even know he came in.  My back was to the door and one of my girlfriends was like, “Hey friend, guess what?”  I played it cool, never spoke  or even looked that way.  Go me! 

One of the girls told me, “Ya know, usually when you see people you don’t want to see, it is always when you look like shit.  J, you look fucking HOT tonight.”

Lord, I have the best friends.  Thanks!
