and i'm feeeeelin gooood.....
so sat night we had a sisters night.
Cassie had been feeling down due to boyfriend issues, and decided we needed a sisters night. so me, Amy, Cassie and my sister in law Keri hung out last night and shot the shit and had snacks and drinks and such.
it was a really good time. until Keri started attacking Cassie, calling her a liar fairly loudly, about smoking. Cassie is in the process of quitting, and said she's at the point where she considers herself a non smoker, as she only has a smoke socially, and not as a part of her routine or due to stress
however that convo started, I really don't know. Amy and I were o the other side of the table having a "come to Jesus" chat. we were talking about how we haven't been exceptionally close, and how her husband and I don't get along, but what she perceived as my disapproving of her was a spillover of my dislike of her husband. it was a very good chat and i feel like we're on the same level.
then I got dragged into the drama. keri was essentially badgering cassie and was calling her a liar. so i asked what she was a liar about. keri started going to saying that cassie was announcing herself as a non smoker and in reality wasn't. so i tried to defuse the situation a little, and cassie was throwing into it too, and keri just wouldn't stop. so cassie says "go. just get out." keri lives above cassie, and should have just left. but she didn't and continued. i looked at cassie across the table, and every time keri called cassie a liar, i felt my blood flare into a boil. so then i had enough. so i yelled at her "SHUT THE FUCK UP". so then keri turns on me, or tries to.
i explain, in a holler, that cassie is entitled to do whatever the fuck she wishes.
this goes on for a minute or two, with keri trying to throw out examples to win. it didn't work.
then she says "no, i'm sorry cassie, you're right. let's drop it."
and i say immediately (and still pretty loud), "that's nice... too bad you can't say that like we're supposed to believe it."
then she started to try to yell at me again, and said "forget it, i'm just gonna leave." and i say "good. go."
she headed for the door, and turned around and looked at me and said "you know, you share all the same bad qualities as your brother."
and i said, "yeah, i'm totally offended by that. i'm gonna lose sleep over that cuz you really hurt your feelings. get out." that last bit was sarcasm, if anyone didn't catch it.
i hate people who are in love with their own drama. if it isn't all about keri, she is't happy. she even had come out of the bathroom at one point in the night, and said "i don't even know how you guys can look at me, i'm so unattractive."
i shit you not. that really happened.
so after she left, me cassie and amy hung out for another couple of hours. of course we talked shit about keri, but that's to be expected. we eneded up with jokes about it, me telling cassie to "go smoke about it," while "me and my bad qualities will just sit over here." we got a kick out of it.
so i talked to cassie today, and she said keri pinged my mom on the fb chat last night afterwards. apparently, she wanted some sympathy from MY mother. good luck. cassie talked with my mom today, and so did i, and we told her all about it, and my mom agrees that keri has something just plain wrong with her. cassie told my mom that i yelled at her, but that i was low key for me. apparently, i have blown up bigger in the past.
but it was a really good night, aside from the drama of that woman's existence. frustrating. next sister night will prolly be at my house, cuz keri is allergic to cats, and won't be invited. she can sit home and be dramatic, while cassie smokes about it and me and my bad qualities host my sisters.
so today, i am hanging out. i found this musician, Amos Lee. he was on the morning show i watch this past friday. i have DLed 2 of his albums, and OH MY GOD,I LOVE HIM. his voice is awesome, and his songs are just so nice.
Click to viewthis guy is going on my writing playlist. so far, i have him on repeat on itunes. the whole "mission bell" album is phenomenal. and i don't throw that out there often. the last group i felt like this about was Munson and Sons.
go. now. buy.
so while i listen to him, i sip tea on the porch, or i hang up a poster in my room, or i fix a table. i'm doing odds and ends around the house. it makes me happy.
im in a cleaning mood, so i still might do some housework. but mostly, i just love sitting and listening to him.
it's awesome.
