I cannot WAIT until I can do some retail therapy of my own because Mama NEEDS it!

And that sofa is gaw-jus!! I love the color and the clean lines and classic shape – so beautiful!

And spin it some way so that the sofa is actually for the baby. That’s what I always do when that vein on Drew’s forehead starts to twitch because he’s looking at the bank account and it’s nothing but Target and Amazon. :-)

Yikes! Sorry to hear that. At least you can be glad you put that friendship behind you long ago. Think of all the time you could’ve wasted with her in the intervening years. And I think you handled the discussion perfectly. There’s nothing you could’ve said to her that was as rude as what she said to you.

Thanks for all of the support guys! Stuff like this never seems to get easier. But it makes a great excuse to have a glass of wine and talk about how bad her hair styles were in the 90s. :)

So after reading the book The Help two years ago, I had the epiphany that we all have our own “Hilly Holbrook” in our lives – you know that condescending, sanctimonious, righteous vessel of hate who thinks saying things with a smile and judgmental prayer makes it okay.

The bright side is you’ve identified your very own Hilly in your life! If you encounter her again, just say..”It’s lovely to see you again Hilly!”

This is why I don’t think I can ever leave NYC. I’m intellectually aware of the intolerance in this world, but living where I live, it’s easy to believe that these sorts of people are just urban legend. Sorry you had the displeasure of such an encounter….

I can’t even imagine what that felt like. But, I’m actually impressed you kept it together so well. She crossed the line tons of times, but bringing in the disapproval of you raising the Bean was just mean. It sucks when those closest to us (or those that were at one time) are cruel.

Have some ice cream and enjoy your family tonight and hopefully you will feel better :)

I hate that you had to go through that with someone that you clearly held in high regards but you are correct in all you said. Try to keep your head up, I know it’s hard because I had to let a friendship go over pretty much that exact conversation. The ones you need are in your life, others…they aren’t for a good reason.
