Saturday Morning Farmer's Market

I got up early this morning to go visit our local farmer's market. This one is not the big one downtown with tons of farmers and people - it is a smaller one in a quaint little shopping center not too far from my house. I wanted to go pick up some fresh, local strawberries, asparagus and possibly some sweet potatoes. Since I knew it would be a quick trip, I let hubby sleep in and I got up early and was actually looking forward to my early morning outing.

That was until I got there. I walk up to the area where the farmers have their products set up for sale under tents and the very first person I see is my ex from more than 10 years ago, so no big deal - really. Except for the fact that he is there with his twin two-year-old son and daughter and his wife, who had "fertility problems" that were quickly solved by taking clomid. I have no feelings for him - it just sucked running into him with his wife and twins when I didn't even have my husband with me. For some reason, I felt like such a loser - I almost turned around and went home. But I was on a mission. I got my strawberries and my asparagus and was going to leave but decided to head to the other side in search of the sweet potatoes. As soon as I turned the corner, I nearly ran straight into a double stroller. I look up and the guy pushing it is a guy I knew in college who asked me out several times. I always liked him as a friend but never romantically. But still, here he is with his two babies and his lovely wife.....I made a few quick comments about the kids, introduced myself to the wife and then quickly bought my sweet potatoes and went home. This was not the nice early morning outing I had hoped for! And to make it even worse - I wasn't even looking cute. I just got up and went - loser that I am. I so hope next time, I can at least have a big ole pregnant belly when I run into these people...sigh!
