I am jealous of everyone around me, am territorial about everything, cannot stop colouring my hair, cannot stop lying, cannot stop bullying and generally cannot stop drinking. I know someone must have guessed by now, but in case you need one more hint, I also cannot stay home or let my husband go anywhere without me.
Yes, there was a crazytown encounter last evening. Just as I had suspected, she was behaving far too normally the last couple of times and was bound to show her true colours, which peaked through last night. I am just now realizing the number of lies that she told last night. I am happy that I managed to calm myself today before I let her stupidity consume me. I do not need any more of what went on for the last 2 years. She is never going to change and I will be quite happy that I do not have to see her for at least a few more weeks. The lies do bother me though, they are such a control/territorial thing with her. I could have nearly brought up my supper when she suggested that she, Mark, Corey, Dian, Barry & I go out to Jack's for supper some time. I so enjoy Jack's and I would hope that I could keep any possible bad memories from occurring in there. Also, it's a snowball's chance in hell that I am going to knowingly, willingly plan to go to dinner with her in advance, on purpose, as a purely social outing.
As it turns out, the same person that was villifying another individual for becoming religious, purposely mentioned so that everyone could hear, that she, "Had to get home for prayers." WTF!? Not only have I never heard her say anything like this in the 9-10 years that I have known her, when was the last time she gave a damn about getting home in time for her kids bed time? Also had to mention that she bumped into one of Barry's clients that said that he needed to speak with Barry (this client calls us right away if he needs to speak with Barry), and had Barry called him yet, since she told Barry about this the last time she talked to him. Complete fabrication. I asked Barry and he said that she had told him no such thing and that he was willing to bet if he called said client that the client might(or might not) say that he bumped into her, but would definitely say that he hadn't needed him for anything. It was just a lie that popped into her head because the client's son was bartending last night and she found it a convenient way to seem involved with Barry's life and have something to say. "A couple days ago when Cullen ...." actually happened a few weeks ago, again just a way to let people think that she is involved in Cullen's life and prey upon my politeness. Incidentally, I had pretty much just walked in when she said it, so totally ill prepared.
Have another 8 glasses of wine at a table of 10 where only 2 other people were having a drink. When are the cops going to bust her? While you're at it, after both I and Dian's mom let everyone know that there is to be NO alcohol brought into the hall at the shower, be sure to be adamant that you will be drinking, whether you have to go out to your car or hide it in a Tim's cup. Also, be sure to suggest LCBO gift cards as a really cool and useful door prize. If that isn't "dead common", I don't know what is. Never mind the fact that the mother-to-be doesn't want to play games or have door prizes.
All will be fixed at the next meeting, closer to the date of the shower.
I was just reading over some of my posts from when I began blogging on the other site and it actually made me feel better. I remember now that I do not have to put myself into the victim role regarding her comments, they are hers alone. I also remember that I do not have to be fake, I do not have to allow her to know anything about my life, it does not matter what a jealous person thinks, it's too bad if she wants door prizes it isn't her shower, and I do not need to spend excess energy on her. Should I happen to have another encounter with her, sooner than I plan to, I believe I will let her know, with no emotion that the door prizes are to be trimmed back. I currently do not care what kind of backlash that brings because I also realize how easy and relaxing it is to not have her in my life and if this is what the mother-to-be wants then it is what she shall have.
