I'd Like Another Ex-Husband Please....

So, I'm choosing to spend quite a bit of time with Brandon these days.  I'd like to say it's just because I prefer not to sleep alone and he's always available, but I do actually like hanging out with him, besides the fact he's a talker.  Sometimes I prefer peace and quiet.  Brandon is not programmed this way.  Both his mind and his mouth run a million miles a minute.  Most of the time it doesn't bother me, but sometimes I just want to sit in silence and that just doesn't happen when he's around.  Somebody needs a Valium slipped into their drink sometimes.....

I think one of the things that is making me and Brandon work right now is that I know there is no "long term" us.  We're kind of just two screwed up people hanging out together because most other people won't tolerate either of us.  Shit, I know for a fact I wouldn't tolerate myself.  I mean, we're talking about a person who changes her Facebook relationship status to "is in a complicated relationship" and then comments "with herself"  or "is in an open relationship" "with herself" then changes it to widowed, then single all in the span of two weeks.  My FB friends enjoy it and we have fun with it, but it's downright depressing to see "single" all the time.

Do you see where I'm going with this?  I'm getting that "I need to settle down" itch again.  You know, that part of you that wants to come home to a significant other and just have "normal"?  Last time I got it I ended up married....  Then I got over it and got divorced....  Oh yeah, that reminds me, my two ex-besties came into the bar while I was working Saturday night with the ex-husband.  Fun shit when I looked up and saw the three of them sitting there....  I told him that he got a brief thought in my mind on Friday and he looked at me like I was retarded.  The other Tara looked at him and said, Hello stupid????  It would have been your 5 year wedding anniversary!!!!  He shrugged it off with a oh yeah and that was that.  Ugh.  The good news was that he looked like crap and has easily gained another 50 pounds, so there wasn't an ounce of regret in me.  It was also nice that on his way out he told me Happy Mother's Day and was the first person to do so.  Glad we can keep it reasonable amicable even though he's probably fucking Nicole, which I've suspected for some time.  Whatever....

Anyway, back to the issue at hand, me...  I know that hanging out with Brandon isn't long term.  Why?  Because it's inevitable that his wife is going to change her mind about getting divorced and he's made it abundantly clear that because of the kids, he'd go back to her.  Hey, I'm ok with that, mostly because I can still hang out with him and not scratch this "settling down" itch, because let's face it, the last thing I need is another ex-husband....

You have to admit though, we are goofy cute, even if he looks like he's stoned in the pic and is grabbing my boob, which I totally didn't even notice till just now....  Ugh, I don't look so great in the pic though...

This one is better, but he looks like he's got a fat face....and I've only got one eye, lol.....
