I have nobody to gossip with. I mean I guess I could call some friends but then it looks like I have issues with the engagement.
So I was talking with the middle daughter this morning and I guess my ex’s brother walked into the kitchen and the girlfriend said something that made him walk back into the living room and announce they were leaving. My ex-mother-in-law, who can’t stand the girlfriend was said to have her fake grin on as she got her coat.
“What did K…. say that would make him leave like that?”
“I can’t remember exactly but it was like at the bar when they are closing up.”
“What did J…. say?” (that’s my ex-sister-in-law) I left but she became an alcoholic. This was a darling girl who did everything right. She devoted her whole life to her husband and two boys. You talk about boring. She’s got nothing of her own, no friendships, no hobbies)
“She was so drunk I was afraid she wouldn’t make it down the stairs. She just patted my head and P….. took her arm.” (P is their oldest son who turned 15 and, thank God, can drive them home now.)
I heard all this and was surprised my daughter sided with K….
“Dad worked so hard to make a nice Thanksgiving for everyone and then he pulls that. How rude.”
I thought the rude part was K in the kitchen but I kept my mouth shut. And I know K well enough to know she anticipated him coming in the kitchen, looking for another drink. I’m sure she decided what she’d say, weighing the effect it would have on Henry’s mother, who was riding with them. All I’ve got to say is that woman’s got balls.

There’s a guy on Xanga — his username used to be coujeaux, although I think he shut down that site for a more intimate one — who annually picked his Top 10 Xangans and took nominations from the public for a second Top 10 list. I was dazzled to find myself on that list last year — dazzled and shocked! Anyway, I decided to put it there to remind myself, from time to time, that my blog isn’t actually 100% boring.

Hi, Prudy…this sounds juicy…
Oh wow. :::blushing:::: I am honored! MA was me. I haven’t submitted anything to be published in a long, long time. I still write poetry, but I haven’t put any on xanga since I shut that site down. (A really personal piece got plagiarized and that annoyed me immensely.) Lately all my inspiration for poems come at 3AM when everybody is sleeping and I should be
Good morning, Prudy,
This does sound juicy but drama too.. Thanks for calling me Patty Suze :) , its Suzanne, but it was always just Suze to Dad..
Hope you have a good weekend.
Peace and Love:)
You can always call me to yak, and then as we trade stories you will feel ohsobetter!
You just wonder what goes through people’s minds sometimes don’t you? Family dynamics. Lovely little dramas. Glad you had a nice outing with the girls before!
Juicy indeed. Craziness ensues. Happy Thanksgiving and all that jazz. Mine was a little less dramatic, but that’s why I’m watching teenage dramas on TV to make up for it. All my love to you.
Coming from a family of alcoholics, I can relate to this!
Prudy, it looks like you came to my Thansgiving essay and left a comment, but xanga won’t let me read it. do you remember what you said? If not, it’s okay. Thanks.

You can call my mom and gossip with her!
RYC: Ranch life is a hard way to make a living, but then money isn’t even the beginning of what this life gives. I am very thankful for Dave bringing this way of life for me to experience.
