When We Practice To Deceive....
Don't ask me how I know this, but: 1) when you make up a little white lie, inevitably you need to make up more lies to cover that lie, and it just becomes a wild tangled web; and 2) if you eat an entire chocolate cake over a 4-day period, you will get sick. # 1: my boss asked me to do something I REALLY didn't want to do, so I said I couldn't for X reason, not anticipating that she'd press the issue. After a long and winding conversation about it, I ended up calling my own home phone from my cell at her house, and leaving mySELF a message (pretending I was calling a friend.) See, X reason claimed I couldn't fulfill her request since a"friend" wouldn't come through for me. Whew! How awful. E has no pity for me, saying I should have immediately said, "I don't want to" when asked--and though he's morally right, he wasn't there to see the situation play out! I trapped myself into crazy lies, but I still think my boss and her mom helped paint me in that corner. # 2: I love chocolate, what can I say? A black friend just told me that there's a myth about girls who love chocolate also loving black men. What can I say? Some myths are based in fact! :-D

you certainly are.
A lot of white women really love chocolate...is there mass repression going on? (and don't tell John about that! I don't want to introduce in him the seeds of jealousy...)
btw I know you probably need another blog to follow like you need the proverbial hole in the noggin, but I found this one: http://eve-tushnet.blogspot.com/
she writes for the national catholic register and has great comments/links on lots of cool catholic stuff. I'd be afraid of falling in love with her but
a. I'm engaged to someone I'm already in love with and wouldn't do that to him
b. I'm not that kinda girl
c. She seems pretty committed to upholding church teachings on such matters
Blue Ruin: Perfect! I love it! But thanks for understanding what E didn't--that the truth would have offended them. This world is a sick, sick place. OK I like your other ideas so for the future I will do that--when I say "I don't want to talk about it" it sounds like what I have planned is very important, so instead of questioning the validity of the statement they'll just focus on WHAT mysterious thing I do have planned...oh you devious lawyer you.
Etrangere: HAHAHAHAHAHA you had me laughing out loud here! I'll definitely check the blog out, I'm always looking for cool Catholic blogs to follow...hahahahahaha
And oh yeah, girls are pretty wild over chocolate, and oh yeah, um, just marry John and forget about the girl that stole your heart. :-P
YEAH!
whoa! ::cower:: 'tis true.
