This post was all and more. Now I understand when I came to your house for the first time and we sat down with our coffee, you jumped into the little ones seat and commented about crumbs.
If I noticed the crumbs, which I probably wouldn’t, I’d sweep them off, if not I’d sit on them and not care one bit. Crumbs be damned. A house isn’t a home without crumbs, pet hair, kid toys, finger prints and a little of the last couple of meals on the floor. When we made a mark on a wall or table my Mom called it a character mark.

Oh and outside work is totally exercise.

You say it wasn’t your mother, but are you sure it wasn’t MY mother? Because that’s totally something she would do.

And please. crumbs are nothing. Here, she’d probably step on squishy spaghetti.

karisma, I’ve never had green tea that was green either! Is there such a tea? My green tea looks FAINTLY green for the first few seconds it steeps, then it turns golden.

And as for the crumbs, the minute you asked for the hoover, I’d have said: “No way! Look how your crumbs mingle with the ones on the carpet. It’s too pretty to vaccuum up.” And then I would have poured us another cup of green tea that isn’t really green and we could have sat and admired the new crumb layout while drinking it.

Just for the record, I would have sat on your crumbs. I would not dream of sweeping them onto the floor. Then when I stood up and the crumbs did fall on the floor I would have taken that as my excuse to pull out the hoover and clean it up for you! (Who am I to make a mess on your floor?)

As for the tea, I have never actually had green tea, that is actually green! I surely must be buying the wrong one! But hey!, I happen to like it, so will keep buying it anyway!

Thanks, everyone, for this reality check. All your kind words, in addition to Ten Thousand Fists at MAX VOLUME, have made me feel much, much better.

Congrats on the poetry writing, reading, sketching, planting and generally taking care of you. Sounds lovely. Don’t let such a strange ‘friend’ derail those efforts with her careless words. It sounds like you know what is important and she has no clue.

My stepson recently introduced me to Disturbed and it would definitely work for heavy metal therapy. I still go for SOAD in those moments myself. I am jealous of all the audio equipment and headphones and stuff. Serious therapy.

I am sorry that this happened. I agree she wasn’t really a friend. I have actually had this happen to me. I was depressed for days.

Good for you for talking time for yourself!!!

If you’re that picky about your tea you should be carrying your own tea bags with you.

And when did you make friends with (pre-jail) Martha Stewart anyway? (Post-jail Martha knows better than to mention any of those things…she doesn’t want you to make her your B+*&h.)

Love you,
