Trapped and thinking

Now I'm not claustrophobic but I have to say being stuck at work sucks! We are having a snow storm - somewhat unexpected as the weather forecast (which we all know is so reliable) said it was going to rain today. The roads are so backed up that our parking lot is also backed up – people are actually waiting in line in their cars trying to get out of our parking lot into the street! First time I've ever heard of this nonsense happening.

Okay so on to the topic of boys - a familiar topic in my blogs! Just recently my ex-boyfriend has been popping into my thoughts. Now when I say ex-boyfriend I mean over 5 years ago ex. We have been through a lot and we've kept in touch. Strangely this ex of mine has apparently been thinking about me as well as he called me for the first time in about a year. I can't decipher my thoughts just yet - as to why he popped into my head. I do tend to think about him when I start dating anyone new. He was a great guy but we really just did not click well together. I'm sure we all have a guy or two that we look back on and want to find someone similar to.

I guess I'm starting to think about whether we are keeping in touch for a reason? I mean do you keep your ex boyfriends close to you on the basis of potentially getting back together in the future? Some say exes are exes for a reason - meaning you tried the relationship, it didn't work, so move on. Easier said than done in some cases. So why do we chose NOT to move on? Is it for the second chance at the relationship at a latter time when you both are maybe more mature? Or is it simply loneliness – craving the affection you know is possible because of your ex?
