I knew someone who inherited a house from his mother. He & his wife had the whole kitchen gutted and renovated. It was a chef’s dream kitchen. They invited us & a few other people over for dinner. Filet mignon wrapped in bacon. The entire meal was cooked in the microwave and was rubbery & tasteless. They used their lovely new oven to hold boxes of leftover pizzas.
Wow, should have figured. This is so like my sister… she never has a positive comment for me. Even her compliments are wrapped in insults (“you know, you’d look really good if you fixed that bump on your nose”). Wish me luck as I visit her for Thanksgiving. Thank God, she has told us that we can’t stay at her house this year. At first, it was a bit insulting because we have stayed at her house for years, NY is not cheap, and apparently her NY in-laws can stay there, but we can’t. But now I am happy to not have to pretend like we are friends, and I don’t have to listen to her constant comments that are indirect ways to put me down. (One that I remember from last year was said to Lil when it came up that she was in a hip-hop dance class: “oh you must get your moves and rhythm from your dad because your mom can’t dance”, which is totally not true. Not only do I like hip-hop, but I used to tear the dance floor up back in the day and still have some moves. But she wouldn’t know because we’ve never gone out together nor have we talked about our personal lives much. Oh and my husband totally admits that he can’t dance.) Sigh… people who can’t say anything nice really stink, and the older I get, the less I want to be around them.
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Saturday! I hope you all had a good day!

And my answer to that is simply, ‘No. I clean my kitchen. Care for a cup of coffee?’

I’m so glad that when I turned 50, I decided not to give a hoot what folks thought about me any more. Life is so much better now.
