Relationship baggage? I haz it.
I used to pride myself on not having much relationship baggage but after my break-up with Boss…well, let’s just say I’d be paying to check a bag. What form does it take? I believe that I gave so much to that relationship that, once over, I began to relish living alone and thinking of myself. In fact, my dream home is actually a duplex with a hamster tube running between each side. Anyway, this new love for all things autonomous has, unfortunately, resulted in…well, I can be a little set in my ways. Besos delicately brought this to my attention over the weekend. Here’s how this went down.
Besos: “I sometimes want to kick Boss.”
RE: *silence*
Besos: “I know that I am your first serious relationship since that one…Sometimes, I wish I was the second.”
RE: “Should I go date someone else?”
Besos: “No! It’s too late.”
RE: “Are you sure? We’ll just date for a couple of months. Then I’ll come back.”
Besos: “Then I’ll do the same thing. I’ll date someone else for a few months.”
RE: “Ok.”
*pause*
“But you can’t sleep with them.”
Besos: “WHAT? What’s the point of that?”
Yes, we seriously have ridiculous conversations like this one.

It’s always a fun day when you realize that your “issues” have become full-color pullout weekend pictorials. Maybe with an ad for sea monkeys in the back.

Yeah, I haz it too. My mom, bless her heart, calls it “bad luggage”. She forgets the term “baggage.” Cracks me up every time…
Whattaya gonna do? Sheesh!
P.S. I like the duplex, hamster tube idea.

Baggage? What’s that? Wouldn’t know anything about no baggage (she says as she walks, the indentations in the sidewalk behind her so deep that people can’t help but stare).
