he said. she said. a married couple's blog.

I grabbed dinner at Panera last night before (my last) tutoring session, and I overheard a ridiculous conversation. It wasn't my fault, the girl was loud and seated at the booth behind me. I'm glad my back was to her because I was holding back laughter the entire time.

Apparently, she just got back from a four day trip to Florence, Italy where she fell in love. She went on and on to the woman she was with about this guy. You see, she'd just been through a bad breakup with a serious-they-almost-got-married boyfriend. She was so happy that she found out she could "love like that again." Now, she's ready to get a job in Italy. But not to be with the new guy. No, that would be silly. Because she feels like something is in the air and that something big needs to happen.

My favorite part though, was when she was talking about a friend of hers who she was no longer really talking to. When she and the previous boyfriend broke up, this girl sent her an email that said she respected their friendship, but she could not be her therapist. Ms Talkative was said to her companion, "she's just jealous because she married the first guy she slept with." I almost spit out my soup at that point.

I was there for 45 minutes, eating, doing soduku, waiting until it was time to go to class and the for the entire time she did not shut up. Now, I know that sometimes I talk a whole lot, but this was just insane. And seriously, I didn't have to even try to hear any of this.

It did make me feel more normal than I usually do, so that was a good thing I suppose.
