I was having a pleasant little IM chat with geckogirl when she had to go for the phone. In a nice little twist of synchronicity my own phone rang and the caller ID actually showed someone worth answering for. It was Little Kendra, who I haven't heard from since the week after her visit. I was elated. I had seriously started to wonder if my last email offended her or something. It turns out she was just hellaciously busy doing a lot of travelling for the holidays. She was calling to ask for our address so she could send Wyspurr, the kids, and I a Christmas card. We ended up talking for a little bit...I'm really not much of a phone talker, but I never get to talk to her except for through sporadic emails so I didn't mind at all. I really miss that girl.
After I got off the phone with her, Wyspurr called to let me know that Ocean and Stitch quit Einstein Bros. Apparantly they broke up last night and are both leaving Atlanta in different directions. I'm really disappointed in them. They were really starting to get on their feet and I bet that whatever they fought about started as something childish and stupid. They're both hard heads that can't see past their own selfishness to see what's best for that child that's gestating in Stitch's womb. Wyspurr and I could only dream of being in as good a position as they were in when Wyspurr was pregnant with either of our children.
To be honest, though, I'm kind of glad they're leaving Atlanta. Wyspurr and I have bent over backwards helping them, giving them a place to stay even though we didn't have the room, driving them around all over the place, getting them jobs where we worked. Ultimately, though, I don't think they ever really wanted badly enough to help themselves. Ocean frequently chose to go into work late or skip out because he just didn't feel like it. Stitch was better about that, but I think she was determined not to be happy with anything. So...I'm sorry for them, especially their unborn child...but at this point I'm kind of just happy that they're not going to be darkening our door anymore. Some people are just hellbent on leading a miserable life. I can only feel so bad for people who are their own worst enemy.
I still don't know what, if anything, I'm doing for New Year's Eve. I wish I had enough local friends just to have a bunch of people over to get drunk and watch the ball drop on TV.
