Such is My Luck

When you are looking shitty and feeling even worse, the last thing you want to do is to run into anyone you know.

Especially when it's your ex-boyfriend's parents.

(Let me just say a quick thanks that it was the parents and not the ex...that would have been WAY worse.)

So the plan was to run in and out of the store as quickly as possible B-U-T, I turned the wrong corner and ran smack dab into them. Let me just say, they are two of the sweetest and most welcoming people I know...it's just that I was mortified to have been caught is such a state of disrepair.

(Please please please don't let that have gotten back to Jess.)

Ex-boyfriends are to never hear anything about you except how great you look and how wonderful your life is and all the grand adventures you've been on. The weight gain and the lack of dating life are to NEVER reach their ears.

Ever.

Lie if you must.

Then to top it off, his mother and I were both in line at the pharmacy when she patted my hand, full of motherly concern. "So what are you getting a prescription for? Are you sick?"

Caught off guard and not recognizing the big flashing warning lights in front of my face telling me that a lie was in order...I told the truth. "Uhhhhh. No actually. It's birth control."

"Oh well, yes. I'm sure that's important too." It was obvious that we were both flustered.

I WANTED TO D-I-E.......
