What do you do....


when you're trying to simultaneously be a grown-up, jealous and "responsive" to your pals all while indulging in a glass of wine? I'll tell you what you do. You forward the e-mail from your pal in Austin to your pal in Japan taking time to carefully insert "alternate readings" between the lines. You google "Wifey and me" just to see who else out there in internet land happens to be in love with your honey then get immediately and inordinately jealous when the THIRD flipping posting is this: "I know with [Wifey] out of my life and into someone elses I should probably learn how to move on. Still it feels like she's still mine. Just in a way that works better for both of us. She's happy. I'm happy. We still talk and connect and commune. I know she's there for me and if we don't touch as much at least I know she still needs me and wants me she just hasn't given herself the permission...." I'm tempted to log onto that person's otherwise anonymous blog and simply type "Step off, b**** you had your chance!" but am diverted by the next listing (4) which is this: http://cdbaby.com/cd/sharielf (I already sent away for the CD so line up on the left all those who want to borrow it...) Only to arrive back at my in-box greeted by pics from Japan by way of Nashville wherein an international debate has apparently been raging vis a vis my potential/predictive desire to possess these boots: from some store that some one saw on their way through the states away from Ibaraki back to Austin by way of Cali! Confused? You won't be after this episode of "My Life - the sleep-deprived years - Part 2!"
