What did I learn last night?

" What did I learn last night? "

That some things are just as funny the second time around. Only in this case it was a first time for me.

Have you ever been to see someone who you really like but because you're tired or just not mentally in the same universe as they are it just makes you wonder, "Why do I like this person again?!?"  I had that reaction last night. I laughed because there were places that were funny. But some times I felt as if it was a reenactment rather that a recording of ideas. Weird that. Like hearing someone tell a story the second time. The initial excitement has gone. It's still a happy story just not the super happy excited story. But you tell it anyway and fein excitement because like I said you're still delighted about the story and you hopefully like the person who you're telling it too. Reminds me of the boring bits of marriage. The times when you have to remind yourself why you married the person to begin with because they are boring to you at the moment. I'm told surviving boredom is the true indicator that a marriage will survive long term. I dunno'. My great Auntie's take on it was that you smile really big and hug necks during that time. "Laugh and the world laughs with you...", she would say.

I like the person telling the story here.  The uncomfortable parts of the situation lets me recall what I found breathtaking about the person to begin with. A chance to step back and look with new eyes. I suspect they are doing the same. Perhaps this is a good time to put on that "happy face" and remind them of why I made them laugh too. Guess that's the other thing about this situation. I have an oportunity to remind them why they like me too.

Keep your fingers crossed. This person is a keeper and the boring bits with him will, from the looks of it, be few and far between.

Sorry this isn't a flashy "What did I learn?"  Thing is it is one of the most grown up things that I have learned. A skill that keeps folks from getting divorced. So while it's not funny? I'm grateful to have learned this lesson. Might help to avoid future heartaches. :) Did I tell you thank you? No. Well thank you and hugs.

I sure do learn alot in this reflection of "What did I learn last night. I hope that you do too.

I feel quite serious and grownup at the moment.

Not to worry. I'll do something stupid and unintentionally funny to mess it up. :D Oh mercy do you think growing up makes ya' boring? I hope not.

Best regards,

Ann

Strange thing this. I'm in such a reflective and affectionate mood  last night and this morning. That and also a weirdly sexual charged mood. Would just love it if someone would  whisper in my ear. Don't know why.

Maybe Fate will take advantage.

I could use alittle romance this summer.

Again, regards to you dear reader,

Ann
