\u2026 God has a wicked sense of humor. I can prove it.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s worse than bumping into someone you once dated looking absolutely horrible \u2013 like ripped pantyhose, tea stained blouse, haven\u2019t washed my hair in two days horrible? Why bumping into him looking that way on Valentine\u2019s Day while he\u2019s out with his new love, of course. Not only did she appear ten years my junior but her hair was clean too. Figures. <\/p>\n

Even though I looked like a vagrant I could see the painful regret in his eyes as he glanced back at me longingly when we parted. At least that\u2019s how I am going to retell that story to the grandchildren Nathan Fillion and I will have. Someday, Nathan. Someday. <\/p>\n

Never mind the reality of the whole incident. I\u2019ve moved on and gorged myself sick with half priced Valentine\u2019s Day candy. Pity be damned when there\u2019s chocolate to be eaten. <\/p>\n
