Closing the door

I've finally done it. I've deleted my ex's numbers from my cell phone. I don't know why I waited so long to do it--for those of you who do not know, the ex and I broke up over a year ago. We had been together for 1/4 of my life before I realized that the relationship wasn't going anywhere. That, and my increasing suspicion that the ex was perhaps playing for the other team. Hmm... living in SF with his Oscar Madison-like room mate (the ex was the Felix Unger of the pair), riding around on a scooter with his roomie, and spending a little too much time with their gimpy cat. I really should have figured it out earlier. Anyway, it felt really good to delete his digits from my cell. It was as though I finally closed the door on that part of my life. And, not to jinx it, but LIFE IS GOOD right now.

Behind the new door that has opened for me is my current boyfriend (who is much better suited for me). He is a godsend compared to the ex (not that I am comparing). Case in point--while I was in Beantown for Part 2 of the Evil Twins Reunion, he did the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me. He cleaned my apartment. While this sounds like a nice thing to do, if you have ever seen the state of chaos that I live in, you will realize that what this man did for me was an incredible feat, some would even say a miracle. He has done the impossible; he has literally swept me off my feet.

You go girl! It was about time. Although I think asking the ex to write you a scrip' for bith control would have been a real kicker.

Yes, I am VERY messy--and am ashamed to admit that my place had even crossed the line to dirty. This is part of the reason why my BF is so awesom =)

Ok - a bit late and not sure if anyone will read this but can I just say 'Yeahhhh!!!!'
He sounds awesome --- can he be loaned out? I am in serious need of housework help than you. While I am now no longer scared to open my (dorm room) front door, what lies behind it is just as messy ;)I'll pay a ticket to London. Or why don't you both come visit and you can stay in the guest room for free, if you clean it up first
