CakeWalk: Amazing. Touching. Poignant. The chapter without a recipe at the end just about made my bawl at my day job. The fact that food had always been a comfort to her, and couldn't even help her at that point in her life struck me to the core. So, so good. So so glad I read it. It was completely the opposite of what I had imagined it would be. ( I obviously didn't do my research on that one) (But that's OK).
Biked 14 miles yesterday.
I'm beginning to lose my steam on FB. I feel like I get more updates from companies and public figures than my actual friends. I hesitate to comment on anything or post anything because I either feel like I'm either one-upping someone else, or I'm a loser because it's not as (adjective) as someone else's.
Plus, I still find myself annoyed at S&L. I've been following DH's lead with D&T. So that leaves some fairly big spaces in our lives right now.
And tomorrow is Sara's sister's graduation party. I'm not even sure if I'll see them because it looks like they'll be headed to another party that's going on at the same time in roughly the same area.
Reason's why I'm annoyed at S:
- We had plans that she totally forgot
- I was included on her new plans, and made to feel like an afterthought
- she repeated asked me if I was going to an event I'd told her repeatedly I wasn't attending
- she made a big stink about how we should get together and then never followed through
- it's now been almost a month, and I don't seem to be getting over this
Actually, it can probably be lumped together as one: I've noticed him ragging on S a lot in mixed company. I feel like the kind, sweet patient L that we've known for the last several years disappeared and left this asshole douchebag in his place. I know spouses can be annoying; after all, I've got one! But if I were to complain about him to T or his sister or his mom, I'm smart enough to know I'd be digging my own grave. Plus, I hate to say this, but L got his green card because of S. Because she fell in love with him, married him, and helped him put together all the documentation he needed, wrote an amazing letter that won his case, and stayed here and worked like a dog so that he could quit his job and go to Mexico for a month while it got straightened out. Now she's writing a book about their experience. And he thanks her by talking shit about her to her friends, and being impatient and annoyed all the time? What, because he got his green card and lost a bit of weight?
Honestly, it makes me want to lost more weight, just so I can shove it in his face and say, Fuck you. You can be in shape and not be a dip shit to your wife at the same time. I know.
This? right here? does not bode well for our summer fun.
