My New Year's Eve
Late... but hey...

So, in my neighborhood we usually just stay close to home... walking or a couple block drive. The people across the street were kind enough to host. There seemed to be a lot of confusion on whether that would be the location, as the wife has terminal cancer and has only a few months, and one person felt she wouldn't be up for it. I had already spoken to her (across street wife: ASW), and she said she would prefer it, so her husband would be at home, and not at the local ice-house -- he's a good guy, that sounds worse than it is.
Anyway... my BF1 was supposed to come, but wasn't that enthused, as (next door wife: NDW) -- that's MY next door -- was going to be there, and me and BF1 are CONVINCED she is have a thing (or wants to) with BF1 Hubby... Some very shady stuff happin' there....
So I wander across, my hub still at home... he always comes late.... I walk in, and NDW and NDH are there and ASH. ND's newlywed daughter, her hub and step-child also where there, but on their way to another gathering. The daughter has had a rough time, but seems to be trying to straighten up... As soon as they leave NDW starts ripping on her daughter, I hate that... esp. since there were other people there that didn't really know any of us.
So NDW proceeds to get loaded -- as usual.... she won't eat (“oh, I had popcorn for dinner so I am fine” - whatever), so JD hits HARD! LOL
NDW and I used to be very good "friends"... until I realized she didn't really know what that meant... and would (did) sell me out in a heartbeat.
She recently told me that she has been avoiding me and BF1... because she thinks me and BF1 are close and she feels left out... ?? Uh, ok... but see, I am not scr*wing BF1 hubby.... so, guess she might like me a little better ??? PLUS we have been friends for years, and we have a lot more in common!
Back to NYE: BF1 doesn't show up with hubby... so, NDW is getting antsy... I see her attempting a text message.... surprised she can even see the keys...
The evening goes on, with much visiting and conversation… my hub shows up and says something about my mom’s dog passing away… NDW flips on me, why didn’t I tell her…. I told her I hadn’t seen her since it happened…. And she yells back that I could have pick up the phone…. I was going to says something about the conversation a couple of weeks prior, but my husband handed me the phone, an old friends that had moved out of town called to wish us all a Happy New Year… I went outside to talk, and when I came back in I was calmed down, and didn’t want to make a scene…. NDW was bawling and talking about how he had been part of her family (She babysat him one week when we all went on vacation.)
My CF (close friend) announced her engagement…. But NDW wouldn’t let the dog thing go… Geesh…. I didn’t want to think about… it was heartbreaking to me, and it should have been a joyous time with my friends wonderful news…. But noooooo…. So anyway, we just ignore here and talk about the wedding…. So she leaves…. Doesn’t say bye or anything, just walks out…. The conversation didn’t revolve around her, so she was out of there…. I do not know of a more self-centered person.
We hung out for a while longer, and about 1 or so, called it a nite….
I, of course email BF1 with the low-down the next day… and to find out where she was, and why she didn’t come…. She confirms her hub received 3 phone calls, only 2 of which he shared the callers name, and indeed did receive a text message about the same time as said NDW was texting…. How freakin’ ballsy is that…. Not sure why my friend puts up with it… will comment on that later…
Think I have rambled enough… not even sure if I am doing this right… but this is the outlet I was looking for. Hope I am not breaking any protocol or anything.
