Sad Tomato

Yes, it's from an REM song (on what I consider one of their saddest and angriest albums). And yes, it was originally a reference to Courtney Love. But "sad tomato" seems to fit me today. I'm no Ms. Love (please), and though I am a huge REM fan, I'm not even really talking about that song. Today I just feel like a round, red vegetable, somewhat squashed and mushy.

Ever felt that way? Like not even good enough to go into a salad for one.

Okay, not a hella great first impression I'm making, I know. It's not like this every day, trust me.

So, today I took my little man for ice cream after school, and the radio was on a pop station, and can I just say, it was like desperate-women-songs hour, or something. I heard "White Flag" by Dido, immediately followed by "The Tide is High" by Blondie. Thank goodness I found the humor in it or I would have been crying in my kid's soft serve.

By the way, no disrespect to Dido or Debbie Harry, both of whom rock. But sometimes even I can tell when it's time to give up...
Divorce sucks.

Here's hoping that tomorrow will be plums. Or cherries.
