Me to J-Law:

Well, the longer reprieve would be better, but
anything will do at this point :P

Dear Holy Ghod--Aunt L says she is throwing Rubber_pig a
Lingerie Shower for her wedding.

I said I'm only coming if I can bring Skye_DS.

Aunt L said, in her best East Texas Hospitality voice
"Of course! After all, she IS family!"

bwahahhah!

(btw, When Rubber_pig & Brother A visited L&B on Saturday,
Rubber_pig was there from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and talked NONSTOP!
Aunt L was so offended! AND Rubber_pig told Aunt L she needed
to paint her walls! "Don't be afraid of color!" was
the quote, I think--RUDE!)

Mostly I'm concerned that Rubber_pig is bringing her
kids. She says she hates all children but her own and she
talks about all the 'cute' and 'smart' things her
kids do that just sound like godawful bratty behavior to
ME. So...not excited about Friday. I did get an
adult responsibility for the first time ever--I get to
bring vanilla ice cream :)

J-Law:


This is true.

It is raining like it's going out of style here. I
got soaked to the skin on the way over. I have
literally never seen rain like this. And it was
windy, so the umbrella was totally useless. I gave
up on it and ran to work. Those miles on the
treadmill sure came in useful. :)

Unfo, didn't have that great a workout last night.
I was still kind of depressed, and then, I was a
block away from home when I realized I hadn't packed
my socks. So, I went back, got the socks, and was
almost out the door when the phone rang. I
answered, hoping it was John, and it turned out to
be Bad John, and I just felt my heart plunk down in
my stomach like a big ol' rock. I very curtly said
that I was on my way to the gym. He was all
cavalier and whatever like usual and asked me what I
was doing later, and "if I felt like it" to give him
a call.

Quelle surprise, I didn't feel like it, so I didn't
call.

Anyway, after we hung up, I knew I was going to cry,
so I just dropped to my knees and let 'em go. After
that, I felt sick, but went to the gym anyway. I
didn't push it - I figured I was okay with just
going and doing something.

Got home, glugged some Gatorade, and crashed. I was
probably asleep by 8:30, and I slept all night.
Woke up feeling better, and the rain, oddly enough,
kind of cheered me up. It's still chucking it down.
I like the way it sounds, pounding on the building,
and looking up through the skylights, seeing it wash
over them in sheets. It's cool.

So. Rubber_pig is very very tactless. Definitely bring
UB. It'll be fun. Maybe it will descend into mud
wrestling.
=========
me to J-Law:

I always sleep really well when it rains buckets like that. A
skylight would be cool. Maybe if I'm ever in a situation like Aunt L &
Uncle B's where they've got property and they're having something custom-
built. I was really impressed by some of the 'green builders' we met
at the house & garden show. Nice looking homes, very cool floor
plans, etc.

John is an ass. I'm glad you went to the gym anyway. I agree that
it's most important to keep the habit of going, and just do your best
within your energy level that day. The important part is making the
time and going faithfully to engrain it into pure habit.

Rubber_pig has been warned about UB, so she will probably do her best to
thwart any efforts to get her into a screaming match. Rubber_pig doesn't
tell 1 boring old story and then pause for accolades from her adoring
audience like UB does, she just goes from one tangent to the next,
barely pausing for breath. At least with UB you could get in a word
edgewise. Sad day when you can compare two people and have UB come up
the winner as far as couth & social graces. ugh.

I don't know what I'm going to do if Rubber_pig's children misbehave on
Friday. I don't have much tolerance for genuinely well-behaved cute
kid antics, so bratty behavior that is applauded & encouraged
as 'cute' is going to be hard to ignore.

I sent creepy skate Jeff an email basically saying that I thought we
had already talked about me being 'taken'. I said I don't date and
I'm not sexually available, but I enjoy seeing people I know at Skate
Night & I enjoy hanging out with friends, so if that's OK with him
that's OK with me.

I doubt he'll write back. I think being very blunt really puts people
off. But...it was all truthful, and if he doesn't like me saying it
flat-out like that, too bad.
