News of the day: Received an e-mail from Mike tonight, which read extremely cautiously optimistically - a “we’ll see” type thing.

I was happy. I’ll take cautiously optimistic.

Audrey and I went to CJ Muggs tonight to celebrate, in a way, the fact that she finally dumped her nasty horrible vile boyfriend Doug.

Vile Doug finally crossed her line - he’d crossed mine a month ago or more when we all went to Macaroni Grill and he’d been a self-absorbed pompous prick. But he managed to actually cross Audrey’s line, which is much, much further away than mine. He’s damned lucky I wasn’t there, too. I’d have ripped his face off with my fingernails at some of the stuff he said to her.

Fucking bastard.

Apparently he lives the Gospel according to some motivational speaker with three names, as opposed to… well, you know. The REAL one (that he proclaims to live). He’s a hypocrite in the worst way. The kind that makes Mike look down his nose with disdain at the “cult” of “Christianity.” The kind I just want to shoot.

Apparently he decided to end the nasty relationship with a What’s Wrong with Audrey speech - even announcing that as the introduction to the monologue before beginning.

So Audrey and I celebrated by using a coupon from the coupon book she’d bought him for Valentine’s Day and going to CJ Muggs. We drank wine and ate a great dinner and reminded each other to “think positively.” This is what Doug said Audrey didn’t do. According to him, everything would be okay if she’d just start “thinking positively” - the gospel according to his motivational speaker.

We whooped and hollared and laughed so loud that we got other patrons staring at us. Really, sometimes men are just so stupid it’s comical.

At least they give us something to laugh at.

Still giggling,
