a friend just got married - they had a destination wedding...some far away island or something. anyway, they're having a 'come celebrate us' type of reception/party thing... but since they've both been married before, it's more of a party and less of a reception.
anyway, since the invitations are being sent via email, i just glanced at the invite list... and noticed that two of my ex's close friends are going to be there. (sigh...) so that means i'll need to look extra pretty, be extra lovely and engaging and charming, etc. etc.... and that just makes me tired. but, on the other hand, there will be tons of people there that i like... and, honestly, the evening IS all about the newlywed couple...
i just don't necessarily look forward to events (conferences, meetings, social outtings) where i'll run into my ex or the ex's friends... with them there's always the awkward conversation - we silently agree not to talk about the pink elephant in the middle of the room... and i monitor every word that exits my mouth, so i'm being social... but would never be accused of trying to feed information TO my ex via the friends. for example, when one asks how i'm doing, it's difficult to gage how much info should i share re: my new house - and, the problem is that i really like my ex's friends... so it's just kindof sticky. (i know, i'm a girl, but that's how i think). anyway... it's next saturday night, and i better find a really cute outfit. and have a good hair day that evening...
