Return Of The Ex

October 17th, 2007 @ 4:00 pm by Mrs. Hummingbird

Lately, even though I’ve been trying not to, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about my ex. Not an ex boyfriend mind you, I’m plenty happy to be rid of the lot of them, but my ex best friend, Harmony.

Harmony and I became friends when we were two and three after meeting through our mothers, who attended the same self-defense class. We spent the next two decades growing up together and I considered her to be my closest confidante.
Then, things started to change. Harmony went away to school and became more and more distant until one day she sent me an e-mail saying that she was young and free and travelling and that, if I was going to “stay at home and become a housewife”, we couldn’t be friends anymore.

After I got the e-mail, I cried more than I have over any boyfriend. Mr. Hummingbird (who had never meet her because of what I assumed were “scheduling issues”) tried to console me, saying that I shouldn’t be upset over someone who wasn’t worth being upset over, but I couldn’t help it. I mean, we had been friends for twenty years and now, all of a sudden, this person who I thought of as my sister was gone and out of my life. I was heartbroken.

Missing My Homies

October 15th, 2007 @ 11:47 am by Mrs. Violet

Last night one of my best friends called me out of the blue. I haven’t seen or spoken to him since the wedding (1.5 months ago) He called because he wanted to see how I’m enjoying my married life. I gave the usual “it’s the same, but it’s not at the same time..”speech. I told him that we should get together soon to chat in person.

Our schedules conflict tremendously. He works late hours and I don’t like to hang out in the city that late now that I live farther away; so I suggested that he swing by and hang out at my place. He hesitated and reminded me that I’m married. Well duh, so what? He went on to explain that now I’m married, that I’ll always have Mr. Violet by my side, so it won’t be as easy to hang out with me privately, without the husband. He won’t be able to talk to me about everything in front of Mr. Violet. My solution for him was that he can come and hang out in my backyard and we can talk privately(so what if the weather is getting a bit crisp and chilly!). I reassured him that just because I’m married, does not mean that Mr. Violet and I are glued to the hip forever!
