Since I’ve been requested to, I will go ahead and post a log.

That says ‘post a log’ for those of you perverts.

I got my hair cut on Wednesday, as has probably been seen on Ben’s site. I think it looks pretty decent myself.

Doesn’t everyone have one of those people who just pushes your buttons? I was fortunate enough to spend the evening with one of mine. Almost every other statement out of her mouth set my teeth on edge. However, due to the connection with this person, I had to keep my mouth shut. I would think it is obvious when I am behaving myself. Anyone who knows me could tell you that I don’t just sit there and smile nicely all the time if I can avoid it. I hate having to bite my tongue. It hurts.

One of the examples. This person says to me, “You’re wearing more make-up. I like it.” So is she saying that I look like dog vomit without it? I explain that no, I am not wearing more make-up. She has simply seen me in the past while I was in my neutral mode. I have since moved on to a garish colors mode. I point out that Ben’s step-sister, Anne, is working at the Clinique counter at Dillard’s, and it is my duty to make sure her sales record stay high. We get to Anne at her work, and this person says to Anne, “I really like what you’ve done with Tempe.”

I don’t think it is really necessary for me to go into why that aggravated me.

Another thing. Parents are supposed to help out their children if they are able, and it is not unreasonable. I did say help out, as in provide assistance when your child is doing their best on their own. So, what business is it of a new spouse to try to come between a parent and child? A child, mind you, who has not made these requests in the past. A child, who, when their parent offered them $25,000 to purchase a house, actually turned them down because they didn’t feel it was right to take that much money from their parent. Now, this child makes a request that involves no money at all, and the new spouse, who has never mixed her finances with the parent, by the way, which in my opinion, negates her say in this specific manner, tries to come between the parent and child. The parent who had no problem with the request at all. The parent who IMMEDIATELY said yes, so quickly, that the child suggested the parent consider this for some time.

I just don’t get some people.
