Love Stinks. Yeah, Yeah.

My Facebook feed is being overrun by engagement and baby announcements. It really makes my blood boil in rage and jealousy. It especially sucks when the announcement is posted by an ex or someone you once had feelings for because that fine line between friends and friends with benefits was once broken. It would be ok if I was posting that I was engaged before them, but because they found love and not with me and posted it first, it stinks.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I am jealous of the girl marrying the ex or the ex friend with benefits. I love my boyfriend that I have now and wouldn't trade him for anyone in my past. But honestly, what girl wouldn't like her old loser boyfriends to think for a second, "Wow I screwed that up, I had the chance to marry her and I blew it". What girl wouldn't like to be the first at the altar instead of the last? Especially when she is beat out by an ex.

ANYWAYS...I find myself either deleting these FB friends with their announcements, hiding them from my news feed or leaving extremely catty, sarcastic comments. Well, thinking about leaving extremely catty, sarcastic comments. Sometimes I type them out but am not able to actually hit post.

It ESPECIALLY makes my blood boil when someone has already been a bride once and is getting a second chance. I haven't even had a first chance! One bride to be announced her engagement by writing "I said YES!" as her FB status. A friend commented saying what a "beautiful bride" she was going to be and I so wanted to comment on her comment by saying, "hasn't she already BEEN a beautiful bride?!" "and we all know how THAT ended"...I couldn't bring myself to do it though. I mean, sometimes you have to draw the line somewhere.

LOVE blows. I mean, I love my boyfriend (and I know he loves me) but sometimes when I see a couple REALLY in "love"...like head over heels annoyingly in love it makes me second guess my own relationship. A friend of mine recently uploaded a picture of the food he was cooking on the grill for "his lady". I mean really? REALLY? Unfortunately I can't remember if I actually posted the comment that came so quickly to my head. I was on FB really late and was a bottle of white, a dirty martini and a vodka tonic deep from dinner with MY love. When I went to check the next AM to see if I had actually posted what I thought I posted, the post wasn't there. I am so hoping that was when my laptop had "mysteriously" died on me...a sign from the gods (LOL) to leave it alone! I don't think I was that lucky though, I think that my friend got to it first and deleted out of pissed off-ness. OOPS! Bad Enonymous! If only you could post on FB Enonymously!!!


So I ask you...what does LOVE mean to you? What does it REALLY mean when you say you LOVE someone??? Does it mean uploading pics of the food on the grill? If so I am screwed. MY boyfriend doesn't even have a FB account!
