Interesting story of the day...

Today I found out that two of my former colleagues were (or are still) having an affair - and yes both are married. While I always suspected they were close - I still had no idea. Either I'm...

a.) naive (strong possibility)

b.) choose to believe the best in people despite the indications otherwise

I'm going with...

c.) I didn't pay enough attention

Surely I would have seen the chemistry.

Right??

I can't be that far off. Or can I?

I pride myself on being able to read people - and maybe that's still in tact - maybe reading the situations is less of an ability for me these days. Maybe I'm distracted.

Hmmm...I guess you never know. Or maybe you do and I've never had my "Ahah!" moment. The moment where you realize this guy absolutely will not be "that kind" of jacka$$.

The chicken in me (the one that doesn't want to really open up to anyone for fear of this exact damn scenario) wanted to say very much out loud today, "I'm so glad I'm not married and this isn't happening to me". But then - the part of me that wants to fall - she held it back. If you never take the risk - you never enjoy the reward. Gotta roll the dice if you ever want to get in the game. Look at me growing - it's taken a while but I'm getting there. Baby steps.

Here's to lucky #7 - or whatever number I need to roll to be money baby! Just in case though, maybe I'll play small until I'm playing with the house's money. All I need is one good roll...
