Last night, as I lay on the couch trying to stay awake long enough to make sure my youngest didn’t sneak a couple of the beers I wouldn’t have noticed missing, on her way out the door to her friend’s, I was given little snippets: feedback from her Thanksgiving.
My favorite was when my ex’s mother said I’m starving and began eating. The girlfriend’s kids looked over in horror, with their hands in their laps, waiting for their mother to sit down.
The other part I liked was the description of the preparation. This woman, who I used to think was pretty cool (this was before I knew they were dating and that she was nothing like I’d remembered) had put out all the serving bowls with little pieces of paper in them, naming the food they would hold. This is at his house, mind you.
She sounds like a complete control freak who has taken over his life and his kitchen. He’s just glad to have the help, though, I’m sure. I think it’s funny, mostly because when he retired, the first thing he did, without asking me because I was semi-conscious, in the bedroom, recovering from the latest surgery, was to buy all new pots and pans. He took everything off the counters and when I finally was able to start cooking again I felt like a stranger in my own kitchen.

family gatherings- always bring out the worst and best of ppl, but i say … use it … use it all- everyone will think it’s fiction, but you’ll know better… you’ll know ppl can’t make this stuff up!
30k is great! It’s probably a hang of a lot better than my 50k, half of which is more than terrible. And ex’s and their girlfriends – ahh, I’ve had a bad time with that one, unfortunately. But they read my blog, so I have to be careful
Oooops – see you at my party! What are you bringing – oh! no- Surprise me! xo
Yeah, I have a free site meter, and I’m positive it’s them, because their server across the country showed up shortly after I stupidly forgot to delete my signature in an email with my blog & webpage…it shows up when I’m googled too, but I doubt he’d do that…anyway, I do have to be careful in what I say about my life because of my, ahem, “readership,” and the kids… she totally hates me, with a vengeance, never had that situation with anyone in my whole life, I’m usually great with ex’s myself… so, it may be only her combing them, or trying to figure out why he might still be in love with me… if he is – she told me that she’s taped every single one of my phone messages – the woman is obsessed, for sure. He & I aren’t actually divorced either, only legally separated. I don’t think either of us has any plans in that direction either, though we never talk anymore, and I can’t imagine us ever getting back together. Anyway, I may delete your comment in ref to it because they don’t know that I know, sigh, and, well, I do prefer it this way. xo
