What to Do When an Old Friend Calls

So, there's this guy i went to culinary school with. Fun guy, funny guy. Chose Houston over Austin, which is bullshit, but hey, i guess i don't blame him too much - his hometown, not mine! We got to be pretty close toward the end there, right before graduation, but there was also lots of hot chemistry, which really sucks, cuz i had a boyfriend and we couldn't do anything about it. Anyway, i still think about him now and then, cuz we had one of those friendships. . .you know, the really weird kind where you don't have to say anything besides "i'm tired and my life sucks today" and ten minutes later, you've been so distracted by whatever stupidity that it doesn't matter anymore. And i miss that about him. Even if he did say and do some things that were inappropriate, he WAS a good friend to me, when he was around. But now he's not around anymore and i'm wondering if we should be friends again. I mean, i'm married with a kid, and he's got a really cool job (that i would NEVER do) in Houston. So there's really nothing at all to move our particular brand of comedy (and it IS quite unusual) out of the platonic and into the. . .i think romantic is the wrong word. But so is sexual, cuz it wasn't that either. Well, not JUST that, anyway.

So that's where i am right now. Don't know if the sanity that might be offered by my old "pal" is worth the potential mess, but at the same time, not sure there actually IS potential for mess. But i gotta do something to save my mind. And texting my old buddy requires a lot less consistency than Lovely Snugs. But i'm working hard on that, too. In fact, i think i have a bunch of new listings for the store tomorrow. That'll depend on whether or not my son lets me take the pictures i need while the light is good. I'm looking forward to finding out.
