How many people do you know who “relationship jump?” They go from one relationship immediately into another without really mourning the loss of the last relationship – or even thinking through the mistakes they previously made. It’s like they think being alone is a disease that must be avoided at all costs, even if it means picking the wrong person again.

JOHN:  I know that thing you posted [on Facebook] about relationship jumpers wasn’t directed at me, but it still stung…but I’m glad.

CARRIE:  I’m trying to help us all wake up to making better choices…including myself.

JOHN:  I LOVE that you acknowledge your shortcomings and seek to improve yourself…nothing less attractive than someone who lives in a glass house and throws REALLY BIG STONES at other people living in the same house.

CARRIE:  Thank you.  I’m definitely self-aware and I think that’s what makes me able to really understand other people.  Can I quote you on that?

JOHN:  You certainly can.  I am about due to be quoted again anyways, aren’t I?

CARRIE:  Oh, definitely.  Wait until you read “The Nurse.”  I’m trying to finish it.  Not sure what’s taking me so long.  It’s probably because I rewrite a lot.

JOHN:  Do I get quoted in that one?

CARRIE:  Nope.  Just a good story – I think.

JOHN:  *IN A GOOFY VOICE*  OOOOO, I LOVE a good thtory!  Doth it have a happy ending?

CARRIE:  *GIGGLES*  No, just more advice stuff.

JOHN:  That kind of thuckth!  When are you gonna tell a thtory with a happy ending?

CARRIE:  When I got one!  Wheeeeeeeehhhhhhh….

JOHN:  I love it when you pout and whine.

CARRIE:  I’m pouting alright…

JOHN:  Poor Carrie…
