Pity is such a strange emotion or feeling since I feel like it can stem from two different places. But it's nice that you can still always tap into the girl on an adventure even through the rough patches. .-= Lollygagger´s last blog ..fear of men or myself. =-.

Oh, don’t regret hating her–you’re entitled to feel what you feel. After all, “divorce ham” doesn’t sound all that appetizing even if it is nourishment.

And besides, like you say here, you’re in the driver’s seat. Maybe the next turn leads to coffee, but it’s not like you need to make that turn right away. Before some turns is a full stop. Don’t go running red lights.

You’ll know when to go. A green light tends to be obvious.

That metaphor got out of hand, but it works.

Adicus is simply adorable. Gorgeous pictures.

As for the well-to-do neighbor, have coffee with her. I can understand why you hate her, but like you said above, maybe one day you’ll take some dinner to a girl in your shoes and you’ll get where she was coming from. We all need a little help and concern, even if we don’t really want it.

The pics with the dog are adorable.

I think it’s completely understandable to hate her right now. A divorce ham isn’t exactly what you wanted to be eating…even if it is a nice gesture. But maybe it’s also exactly what you needed.

why is it that so often what we need is the last thing we want?

If she couldn’t handle the fact that you might hate her for her pity, then I feel like she wasn’t really interested in helping you anyway. And you, you should not have to feel guilty for your feelings, if coping were cookie cutter and we all did it the same way we could all just buy the How To guide and get over shit. In the mean time… ::shakes her fist at the Divorce Ham::

wow, i like you a lot already.

Adicus is a gorgeous dog! And the fall pics are awesome.
I think it’s completely understandable to hate her. Someday you’ll look back and wonder just why you hated her. But for now, it’s totally acceptable to hate her good intentions.

yeah, i pretty much understand why i hate her, which is why i hate myself for hating her. maybe someday i’ll come down from the nice house on the hill, with my husband and kids and my master’s degree and give a girl ten years my junior some divorce ham or some single ham, and she’ll hate me and the circle will be complete.

Oh, how could you NOT hate her?? I'm sure she wouldn't even mind, because she would understand... which would make me hater her even more. xoxo exactly, and she is so the type that would get it. her master's is in education, and it's like she can read my soul through my the crinkle of my brow. .-= LiLu´s last blog ..No, Really… You Just Had To Be There. #pbandtuna =-.

I Love the pic of Adicus sitting and looking at you…

The last time I went to the place the ex and I had lived (which I call The Boulevard of Broken Dreams) the scent of “dust and dead dreams” hung heavy in the air.

I think she brought you a plate of “There but for the Grace of God, Go I…” Good intentions can fill you up, but I agree that they can leave a weird taste.

Bring your “unlimited potential” to coffee. It’ll sweeten the pot.

Duly noted, on the “unlimited potential”. Adicus could not understand why he was being asked to sit and stay so he could have his picture taken. He’s no Chuck. Dooce wouldn’t give him the time of day.
