for st. valentine's sake!

You are all going to die.  Brace yourselves.  Did you go potty yet? Are your kids/lovers/parents/pets distracting you?  Get them out of your hair. 

I had a lovely goodbye-sleepover with my sorority lovers Kate & Karen.  It was such a perfect night.  After a marathon run of Titanic (are you rolling your eyes yet?) they shuffled upstairs to wash faces...  I stayed downstairs to set up beds.

It was 1am. 

My phone rang. 

I ran from the bedroom to the where it was sitting on my mother's vintage ottoman.

It was a 503 area code number.  That could mean probably 1 of 2 things.  I was not thinking. 

So.  I picked it up.

And... guess who was on the other line?

Yes.  You guessed it.  The-banished-from-blurb-book ex-boyfriend Matt. 

Me: Hello
Matt: Katie?!?
Me thinking: crap.  @#&!
Me: Yep.  It's me.
Matt: It's been such a long time since we talked.
Me thinking: and I was hoping we could keep it that way, buddy.

It was the usual small talk, and I kept trying to get down to what the purpose of his phone call was.  For St. Valentine's sake, I had sorority sisters over.  I did not have time to chit-chat with sub-par ex boyfriends. 

He had called just to call.  So bizarre.  He is a mystery, that kid.  A mystery.  He was in awe of my internship (you know I had to brag).

See how fabulous, fun, and fancy-free my life is without you?!?

Then.  He had the nerve.

Matt: So are there any men in your life?

The nerve.
