Quietly Sipping Wine: 100 post, turning points everywhere

So when something tramatic or dramatic happens to me, I usually keep quiet about it and don't tell anyone until I feel like I'm handling the situation well.
I think it's some kind of protective measure I do without realizing it.

So I.D., S.Y., M.M., and M.W. have all been in the dark about my life for the last 3 weeks.
M.M. and M.W. have been quite upset thinking something very serious was happening with me (which in a way they were right).

Yesterday:

Coffee with M.W.:

Me: (to starbucks lady) Can I have a tall dark roast?
(turns to MW) I broke up with SO for another man.
Starbucks Lady: Anything else?
Me: No thanks but I think she wants something, (turns to MW and realize her mouth is wide open) MW? Coffee?
MW: (to starbucks lady very suddenly) COFFEE!
Me: You ok MW?
MW: QSW! You should have made this coffee break at least two hours if you are going to drop information like that in my lap. I need time to recover so I can be productive!

Drinks with I.D.:
I.D.: So you just walked away? Like... You didn't fight at all?
Me: No, I swear, he even asked if we should fight or something and I just laughed, hugged him goodbye and left.
I.D.: Shit woman.... I'm proud of you.

Discussion with brother:
Brother: Wait.. What?
Me: I broke up with S.O.
Brother: Shit we need to plan things better, we are going to give our mother a drama overload.
Me: What?
Brother: I just broke up with my girlfriend too.

I think my Mum has resigned herself that she will never see her eldest settled down with someone.; 7:37 PM
Scorpy said...: I've just finished reading the last few posts and 'Phew' that is alot to get thru. I think you are very lucky to get out early and without fights and the like. Take care :); 5:36 AM
Wombat said...: Yeah, reading Scorps has made me realize that you're the Teflon Dating Girl.

Nothing nasty sticks. Perfect.; 9:27 AM
sipwine said...: M.B.I.C: I think she still holds onto hope somewhere.

Indy: MW has been calling me every 15 minutes asking me more questions, ID has called me once and asked if I wanted to drink. Yeah, I definitely know how you feel.

Scorpy: It's funny, re-telling this story to people I know gets that same reaction 'Phew' :)

Wombat: Right now I wish I could change the blog title to "Teflon Dating Girl". That's hilarious. I try not to let nasty stuff ruin my future life, something that gives my mom hope because I can pick up again so easily.; 10:48 AM
lady miss marquise said...: Great post - I had dinner with my sister last night where we discussed her upcoming divorce and my lack of enthusiasm in dating, meanwhile my poor mother continues to think it was something *she* did... poor love.

And I loved the dropping of a bombshell like that! I can just imagine.; 7:12 PM
sipwine said...: It was fun to do, I'm not going to lie. :); 1:54 PM
