It's been an interesting day

Today has been eye-opening in a couple ways. First, I got a call this morning that made me laugh. Apparently the girl that took over my office at the law firm where I used to work had happened upon my blog. Unfortunately I did not get to know this girl, who I shall call L (to maintain her anonymity), very well. She worked for the firm when I first started but left before I ever made the transition to paralegal. She came back a while before the hurricane to do work on a contract basis. Anyhow, I guess my post about sitemeters freaked the poor darlin out and thought I was directing my post towards her. Like "I see you." LOLOLOL. I did know someone from the firm was reading it but I was not sure who exactly. It was very sweet of her to call and she complimented my writing of all things. How sweet since I absolutely have no delusions of being skillful in that arena. I just write the way I speak which more often than not is not grammatically correct and loaded with F bombs. Anyways, welcome L - I am glad you enjoy my retarded sense of humor. :)

This afternoon I was taking a break from work and was folding some laundry. I heard the doorbell and figured it was the UPS guy bringing my thing I bought from Kohl's. (They are having a massive sale - just an FYI for ya.) I came up front and it was Aunt Regina - my husband's aunt. His favorite aunt if that makes a diff. She is one of the aforementioned hens. Gotta love her. Anyways, she was visibly upset and seemed just incredibly conflicted. She finally sat down and told me why she was here. The husband was not here so she ended up just spilling her guts to me. I am not going to go into details of family business, but suffice it to say that several of the things the husband and I suspected about someone are very true and worse. We found out that we had been lied to on several occasions and led to believe other things. Frankly, it all just sucks. Aunt Regina really struggled with herself as to whether or not to even come talk to us because she did not want to upset the husband, but I am glad she did. We talked for a couple hours about the whole situation and we managed to enlighten each other and fill in blanks for each other about some details each of us were not privy to. The whole situation sucks giant donkey dick but I would rather be in a position of knowing the enemy in its entirety rather than THINK I know. In short, Aunt Regina absolutely did the right thing in telling us because we are now in a better position to try to curtail the lying that is being thrown our way. It's ugly, people. Just downright UGLY.

Well, I am off to finish work and cook din din. It's ugly and rainy here and makes me want to nap. I am so fighting off the urge. :)

Whatever truth you found out..I am glad. Maybe you can get to the bottom of it all.

It's like ass porn...I crack myself up.
at 10:41 PM Unknown said...: I don’t like deceit either; I find myself correcting what I say if it varies even a smidgen from fact.

Still, I have a friend who lies to me persistently. Fortunately, she is a poor liar. I have even considered coaching her into being a better liar, but I fear she’ll never learn. And I realize she is the child of an alcoholic and it’s fairly typical for ACOAs to tell untruths even when the truth won’t hurt them. She is also a sometimes drug addict—another reason for her falsehoods. So I just accept her behaviors as part of my unconditional love for her.
