Hopeful Romantic

There’s a movie called The Secret. The message of it is essentially encourages the importance of emotional intelligence and positive thinking because whatever you obsess about will come true. My ex-husband couldn’t afford much because he mowed lawns for a living, but there was a gorgeous blue house across the street that had just gone up for sale. I told him we would own that house. He thought I was absolutely crazy.

If I were to count the number of times that man called me crazy, the student loans I owe from taking college math would be worth my effort. At least those psychology classes have been worth my while.

Friendship

I don’t want you to go to bed mad at me is a song Matthew used to play from the other room while I tried to cry myself to sleep in our bedroom. We were in the first home as a married couple and we were so broke, we didn’t have a door on the master bedroom. My now two year old son’s room was marvelously decorated, though. Matthew had spent hours painting and my now fiancé Alex even contributed in some way, I believe. I have always made horrible choices in interior decoration, but I chose the baby blue color and brown trim; Matthew wanted antique trucks and cars.
