enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

i should be asleep right now.

but I am not.

I was looking through the archives to find different posts from the past five April's.

And I stumbled on this gem of a blog post from April 2006.

Oh man.

I had completely forgotten that story and reading now makes my palms sweat.

I clicked on it to read the single comment.

AND GUESS WHO IT'S FROM!?

PAUL.

As in my husband.

As in the guy who is sleeping soundly next to me right now.

Back from before we were even a glimmer on the other's dating radar.

The awkwardness just gets better and better.

And that – right there – is why I blog.

    i should be asleep right now too. (i’m in n.j.)
    but i’m a night owl, indulging that spirit tonight.
    and you’ve inspired my thoughts to travel down memory lane .. . to the treasured awkward moments in my life.
    🙂
    thank you for sharing so much of yourself with seemingly random and far away strangers – like me.

    That is funny! The story all by itself is funny, but that Paul, excuse me, Pablo left a comment makes it even more funny. Fate, indeed.
