Riding The "Should"-Wave

I've been at home in Norway over Easter, two weeks to be exact. It's nice to be home, but it's also incredibly weird. I'm no longer in the relationship I was when I was last here, last slept in my bed, last walked around town or got coffee from all our places. I'm in a different relationship, and never in a million years would I have thought that to be possible.

Many reasons for that: 1. H was my first long-term boyfriend, and having gone 19 years without one sort of made me assume I'm not really girlfriend material. 2. I'm not pretty enough (whine, whine). 3. I should be incapable of getting involved with a new guy after having been single for only a few weeks, after having "taken a break" from the boy I assumed I'd marry someday. I should be devastated, crushed, holed up in my room going through tons of Kleenex and eating Be n & Jerry straight from the carton.

Actually, I do that last thing, but that's just because Ben & Jerry's is so freaking yummy.

Doesn't every sane person do that?

I really hate the "shoulds" in this entry.

I should get out of bed.
