9/11

I've already posted on FB, so I'm going to leave the diatribe off of this post.  You all know how I feel about this day, and I know the feeling is shared, so...

The Memorial at work was nice and the speeches heart-felt.  I'm a little tired of the choir only singing "America the Beautiful" and "God Bless America".  How come they never sing our National Anthem? I'm throwing that in the suggestion box for next year!

Today the Ex came by and I broke the news to him that I was giving the earrings I wear everyday to my Niece for her birthday.  These earrings are  probably the only jewelry his given that he chose himself and I actually wore them. This includes my wedding ring (which I bought).

But I've been thinking a lot about it and I think it's time to let them go.  They are as much a symbol as my wedding ring and the bottom line is, we're never getting back together. So my Niece is the logical choice to hand them off to.  She loves her Uncle and she would treasure them, so they will be hers come Saturday.

He took the news well. He paused and said ok.  He didn't ask any questions, other than why wasn't Serene wearing the earrings he already gave her.  I told him that they were posts and sometimes sleeping with posts on can be uncomfortable. My hoop gold earrings with a diamond in each are comfortable and don't dig into the side of your head, so she can leave them on all of the time and forget about them.  He replied "Oh yeah...you're right". And left it at that.

And now that there's someone else, do I really want to be wearing jewelry given by the ex?  How would the Cowboy feel about that?  I know how I would feel if the circumstances were switched, so...

It's late...I'm having trouble sleeping, so here I am.  I better get some beauty rest or hope my guy is blinded by lust.
