I suggest you enjoy your freedom now.
This actually made me laugh out loud so hard, I could hardly type.
Yeah. I think that's the plan.
She will talk smack about me to the neighbors, but whatev. If people want to join her in the hate corner because I officiated a wedding...yeah...whatev.
She threw my struggle with our mutual friend K in my face as proof of what I terrible friend I am. (You rejected her just because she moved away and got busy.)
Apparently, she missed the part where K called me after Bartleby died...arguably as upset as I was, partly because she really loved him and partly because she was going through the same thing. We resolved our stuff completely, as far as I know. If not, then it's up to K to bring it to me, not the 'friend' who badmouthed her so badly to me for YEARS that her sudden loyalty is starkly funny.
What everyone else said. Sounds like you stood up for the right member of that former couple.
The thing is, she isn't wrong about what a terrible person he used to be. Seriously, TERRIBLE. But, he's got his shit together in a pretty amazing way. His wife is an absolute doll and they are extremely happy.
I would not trust him with some of the stuff that we struggled with before, but he's different now and I value what he is, rather than what he was.
Like that boy Namond on the Wire said "With all due respect, fuck you." Um, I mean her, not Bonny.
suggested that I 'enjoy my freedom' and get over it. That was two days after Bartleby died.
WHAT. Wow, I suddenly have an urge to go find this person and shake them like an Etch-o-Sketch.

ION, this probably should go in Lit, but: Teppy, get your hands on the new (last!) Vampire Kisses novel. I think it would be good, distracting fluff for you right now. It's adorable. (And I only knew about it coming out because Amazon emailed me and said,
"Hey, you've pre-ordered all the other ones to get them on release day. Want this one?")
"Bet it's not on his birth certificate."
I've never seen any indication that's not his real last name. And since all young actors and actresses seem to be named Taylor (like, can he date Swift now that she's way past Lautner?) I'm sure if it wasn't his name before, it has to be now. Like, by law or fiat or something.

I just checked and my library branch has it in. I think I need to swing by at lunch!
Never thought about that, ita.

I have to admit, it's the Taylor that makes Taylor Kitsch seem like it's such a, um, tailor made name.
Been playing catchup here, but I'm glad your brother's seeking help, Steph. Also, I agree with what everybody said about Bonny's "friend".
To distract from the crazy-former-Bonny-Friend (cuz who wants to dwell on negative). An update from my Realtor. The short sale approval process has progressed into the hands of the selling bank underwriter. I asked what is next, and she responded:
So once we actually get the short sale approval (that's what happens when the underwriter signs off on it) then we will officially open escrow. Then we will set up to do inspections, and also to do the appraisal, and finalize all your loan stuff.... all the "normal' home buying activities...
Sounds like I am one person approval away from opening escrow. Eep!
