Vino! Here we come!

I think we have it covered that I'm getting a new car and am ecstatic about it. So is hubby. However, jealousy is such an ugly trait to possess. I called my evil mother yesterday and broke down and told her what I was getting. Much to my surprise her response was "If both of your are financially able to make this step then good for you!" I about fell out of my chair! Who is the person speaking to me? Can't be my mother.

I came home last night after securing a deposit to take the car off of the market. Hubby tells me that he's talked to his parents and asks that I not get upset. Fuck! What the hell now? He tells me that he went up to their house and told them that we were "looking". . . somewhat of a lie but who cares? It's not their business! He told them we were looking at a Charger. His mother exclaims "That's way too much car for both of you!" Sis says "You know M, when S was alive he always wondered when you were going to pay mom and dad back. I think you ought to pay them first before you go out and buy her a new car." I fucking went through the roof! Here is a bit of what I told hubby:

"Your mom is if fucking hypocrite! This morning she handed me a newspaper and said 'Look, here's an ad for a 2007 Pontiac. You should be able to afford that!' Now she's telling you that all we can afford is a used car? Fuck that bitch! And as far as Sis is concerned, I don't want that fucking cunt in my house EVER. I have no use for her at all. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

He told me to calm down. How could I when jealously was running rampant in my life right now? Everyone else that BOTH of us know is so happy for BOTH of us. I then told hubby this:

"Do you know why your mom is acting this way? She's jealous. I've known for a long time that your dad will never allow her to have something nicer than what he has. She's admitted it and I can see it. It's not my problem that he won't treat her with dignity and respect and get her a car that works! I didn't marry the fucking weasel, she did".

So after the whole debacle, I called Barbarian this morning and told her I was really looking forward to this evening. We haven't been out wine tasting in a long time and I miss it; a lot. It's the one thing that we can do together to either drown our sorrows or celebrate some great event. I am going to kill two birds with one stone on this one. Drowning for my disfunctional family and celebration for the new car and a lasting relationship with my best friend. Vino my friend, here we come!
