Cussing And Another Book

It's no surprise that a curse frequently.

My mom is always asking me why I swear so much. She likes to tell me that swearing like a sailor is "not very lady like." To that I say... whatever!

Okay, so I cuss... a lot. When I'm pissed off. When I really want to get a point across. When I think something is really damn funny. There always seems to be a good reason. The F word is my favorite. I guess most of the people in my life have just accepted this, except for my mom of course. Crap, I have 3 brothers who are probably worse than I am. Such a double standard.

My poor niece is only 3 1/2 and knows all of the swear words thanks to my brother, sister in law, and myself. I am aware you may think this is awful, but it's pretty damn hard not to laugh when you hear a 3 year old say, "Come on, fucking animals, play nice together," or "SHIT" when she colors outside the lines. Of course she gets into trouble for it, but it's hard not to laugh the second comments such of these come out of her mouth. But I digress...

What can I say, it's just part of my vocabulary. What do you do that your parents get on your case for?

So, I just finished reading this book.

Wow. It's about a woman (Tessa) who is married to a doctor (Nick)... who ends up cheating on her with a patient's mother (Valerie). The chapters go back and forth from the point of view of each woman... the wife, and the mistress. Dare I say I actually found myself at times somewhat sympathizing with the other woman? I'm still not sure how I feel about this.

I am one of those people who has always been adamant about not forgiving a cheater. I have been cheated on once, in college, and broke things off right away. But if M were to do this (don't worry, I'm not thinking that he actually would), it would be a totally different situation. So much more serious. This book really made me think, questioning what I would do in this situation. And honestly? I have no idea. On one hand, I'd like to believe that I would never let anyone treat me this way and that I would be strong enough to move on. On the other hand, I'd also like to believe that I would stay and fight for my marriage.

Relationships take work. This book reminded me of how important it is that M & I don't become so complacent in our relationship that we forget about the small things.

Anyway...

Have a fantastic fucking weekend!
