HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  I can’t believe it’s the big 3-0!!!!!  How do you feel?  Any different?  Lol.  So someone posted a picture of a pink cake with strawberries that said “Happy birthday, Rita” on your wall.  I don’t know if they made it for you or if they googled it--but what I do know is that I want a cake like that for my birthday.  Lol.  Now you’re telling me your mom is making you cheesecake.  Nom Nom!!  I must have woken up with a sweet tooth or something.  After all that being sick though, I try to be careful.  So I’ll wait until I’m hungry and then I’ll make toast and tea or something.  I was going to finish telling you the details of yesterday but it was such an exhausting day…
we went to the food court and Stephanie was nice enough to buy food for Brody and myself.  Brody told her she could bring his food to the table and walked away.  I was like, “aww hell No.”  I don’t get where his entitled attitude comes from but sometimes I think he’s the reason stepmothers send the kids to boarding school.  I feel so cruel saying that.  I don’t know if I’m just crazy or what.  He’s mostly a good kid and I care a lot for him but this feeling I have keeps me from really wanting to close the deal on it if you know what I mean.  So that’s where I need to change my attitude.  I just need more patience which I’m pretty much out of right now.  That’s not Brody’s fault.  It just is what it is.  Anyway, after finally leaving the mall with them and going home, I had maybe 20 minutes to breathe before Jess came by and I went back to the mall with her.  I am very mall-ed out.  I do like it anyway, but I was there all day!  Not only is that in itself exhausting, but listening to her talk about her problems, dragging me from store to store--exhausting.  By the time I left I was ready to just sleep for a week.  I got shrimp at Popeye’s before we left.  $7.30 for popcorn shrimp and 2 biscuits.  They had no fries, and the girl didn’t smile.  I mean I know it’s close to the end of the night but damn.  Jess dropped me off at Skeeters and i was there a mere 10 minutes! 10 minutes before Vicki came over and just verbally attacked me.  She started by telling me if I voted for Romney, she’d spank me.  I figured it was a joke at first but then she started getting angry.  She asked me if I lost my uterus, and Colie kept telling her to stop!  Then she was like, “we’re poor honey, why would you vote for the rich?”  and I was like, “I don’t do politics.”  And she goes, “Yea you know why?  Because you don’t know what you’re fucking talking about!” That’s when Tom came over and he’s like, “Are you driving people away from my show with politics? Stop it.”  So Vicki said ok and then she didn’t stop. She ended it with “I’m so disgusted!”  and actually she didn’t end it there.  She said other things but I wasn’t really paying attention because I was upset.  I said, “Ok, I’m just going to take my beer and go.”  Originally I just meant to another table, but Vicki was just like “ok, bye,” all bitchy so I gave Tom my beer, told him to tell Vicki to go fuck herself, and despite protests, I stormed out of Skeeters.  Luckily for me, Brian was on delivery close by and picked me up.  We went back later and Vicki was gone.  Tom raked her over the coals and she left so that was ok.  I didn’t want it really to go there.  She was drunk and yea, she hurt me.  I couldn’t believe someone I have considered family for close to two years would talk to me like that because I liked Mitt Romney’s page.  Still, I would have been fine.  On the other hand, I really appreciate how everyone went to bat for me.
