What's wrong with you?

Do you ever have those moments in a social setting where you are funny and engaging, and just on ? I didn't have one of those this weekend.

In fact, I was not real impressed with Me this weekend, truth be told.
Years ago, I read a great book in which the main character lamented her own flaws. She knew of someone's complaint against her, and she was greiving because her own awareness was more weighty than the other person's. Even though other's suffered from her flaws, she always suffered more. I felt like that.

I had to apologize to my mother, and confess to my husband, and then I had to have a glass of wine.

I talk too much. I say the first thing that I think, even if it doesn't need to be said. I also manage to insult a wide variety of folks with very little effort. I'm judgemental. Plus, I draw way too much attention to myself. Other than that, I'm lots of fun. Aren't you just dying to spend some time with me?

Once the five-day-long headache began to lift, I felt somewhat kinder. Headache is not much of an excuse, though. When I'm tired or hungry, or in any way less than 100%, the first thing I do is start saying things I shouldn't. It's very predictable, really.

But enough about me. How have you been?
