I live in a small rural town in Vermont just over the boarder of Upstate New York. The neighboring town has a small newspaper that includes the surrounding areas in their paper. In this surrounding area are three women, all named Deborah Gould. Well, the last two weeks in a row, the police beat in the paper has noted Deborah Gould, 41, arrested for DWI.blah, blah, blah... 2 frigging weeks in a row. These were separate incidents! Everyone else they write about, they also put the town they are from , like so and so from granville or so and so from Wells, but not with this one. The first week, I knew some idiotwould think it was me. Then when she was in it again last week I feltlike putting my picture in the paper with just a caption saying, IT WASN'T ME!
A co-workers brother, who hangs out at the local American legion all the timeasked her what was going on with me, she's like what are you talking aboutand he says the 2 DWI's.She tells him it wasn't me and he say weall know it's her, we've been seeing her husband out all the time. HUH?
She told him that was crap and to tell all his gosping buddies at the barthey were wrong, that I'm older than 41! LOL Fine, whatever it takes, I'm 43.
Well, I'm telling my 17 year old son what is being said and how people are seeing his father out and about all the time. (he only goes out when I'm in Florida, lol) and he's laughing his ass off. I'm like GREGORY, IT"S SOOO NOT FUNNY, DAMMIT! He says no, I'm laughing because it's probably me they see at night.(He's been driving the white and green truck of his fathers since radiator went in his car, about a month ago) His curfew on weekends and now that school is out is midnight and sayshe always beeps when he's driving by the bar's on Main street cause he thinks it's funnyto see all the drunk people out there smoking trying to stumble aroundto see who's beeping at them.Well, isn't that handy!! So he's why everyone thinks my husband is outeverynight.And we wonder how rumors start. Sooo not funny.
My daughter's response was "Well at least he amuses himself by picking on the drunks instead of joining them." I guess I can look at that bright side.
So if any of you reading this, know me, and have seen the paper and heard the rumors,
IT'S NOT ME!!!!!!!!!
Just made reservations for the July trip to Maine. Can't wait to go, there is something about the ocean that is just so soothing and calming. Jadin has finally started talking to his mother on the phone, but lately he will ask her if she's home yet. When she says no, he's not all that interested in carrying on the conversation. One of the nights she called and said no she wasn't home yet he said "Then why are you calling!" and handed the phone back to me. The little terd.
I just signed a contract today with Red Rose Publishing today for Infidelity. I cant wait for this one to come out. I really love Melanie and Luke. It's a little dark in the beginning, but such a wonderful story. The two of them have gone through a lot for there happy ending.
I am now working on Betrayal, which is Dan's story. He is Melanie's brother and the poor guy got all shot up at the end of Infidelity. I'm hoping I can make it up to him in Betrayal.
Well, off to work on that HEA for Dan. Have a great day. Deb
Renee just called. She's getting ready to load onto the plane. This time Jadin actually talked to her for a few minutes, hopefully it will make her feel better. He gets very excited when the phone rings, jumps up and says mommy! Then answers, says hi and hands the phone to me. SIGH Anyway she's leaving Washington and off to Iraq. She said it might be a couple days before she can call. Hopefully she can call to at least let me know she got there okay. This is her secound tour in Iraq, but that doesn't make it any easier.
My mom watched Jadin at my house yesterday because he was sick. Around noon dhe called and says "How do you get the child off the microwave?" HUH!
To back up a little, whenever we heat anything up in the microwave I tell him which numbers to push, so he always does this. Number recognition and all. So I'm thinking 'what the hell.' whose the freakin adult here, he's 40 inches tall and she's 6 foot and can't figure out how to get him down from the microwave? What the hell's he doing ON it anyway?
After bursts of laughter she says noooo, it says child on the display. OHHHHHHHHH! Well in that case....I have no freakin clue. Never seen it before. I guess he pushed to many numbers and it locked up. Who knew! After unplugging it, it reset itself.
But you see what I'm dealing with right. Six more months of wondering just what he's going to do next. Life is not dull, thats for sure. I wonder how this is going to play out in my writing?? Hmmmmm. God only knows.
BTW, if anyone reading this has friends or family or a mail buddy over in the sandbox, Avon's skin so soft bug repellent is half off. The stuff works really well for sand flees, which are a hugh problem there. Some of the guys wrap dog flee collars around their wrists and ankles before going out. That cant be healthy. I bought a bunch to send to Renee and Ray as soon as they give me their address.
