Huh.....

Old Love Letters found in the produce Isle

On Saturday night Eric and I were going to Holly & Curts to watch the George Mason Game... Well I was going over there to see Brodie -- but ya know. Any who...we had to stop at the grocery store across the street from their house to pick up the ingredients to the pasta salad I'd promised to bring. Because of some frustrating Best Buy radio installation details -- we were running late and I was going to have to make the salad mid-gathering.

Eric and I split up as soon as we entered the store. He needed something sweet and I needed to find all the shit it takes to make a pasta salad. Without a cart, I loaded up with noodles, broccoli, peppers, celery, and was looking for the tomatoes when I heard someone call my name. I didn't turn around. I don't know why. I guess it was because the voice didn't sound familiar and it also sounded somewhat unsure. But then I heard it again. As I turn around I see this happy little blonde girl looking at me like she knows me -- but she's not sure. And I'm not sure either. But she kinda looks familiar.

Blonde: "Jessica. Hey. Do you remember me?"

Me: squinting and trying really hard to remember "Yes. Well I do...but I don' t know from where."

Blonde: "I'm Mark's wife."

Me: mentally going through address book......mark mark mark.... "Mark who?"

Blonde: "Mark Harke"

Me: sheet white "What! Oh my God. What are you doing here!?" Shaking

Turns out my x-boyfriend's wife was standing in front of me there, at the Giant. I know you're thinking SO WHAT but this is the wife of my FIRST boyfriend ever. The one I dated my freshman & sophomore year of HIGHSCHOOL. IN TEXAS. Who moved during my sophomore year TO OKLAHOMA. And then later found a girlfriend who I later got to meet ONCE. Turns out he married her. Turns out she vacations. To Virginia. Turns out she recognized me after meeting me once, 8+ years ago, in a grocery store that I don't even really shop in.

WEIRD!

I shook with shock for hours after that. Just a tid-bit unexpected, that was.
