Mean Girls Friday: Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 2

I need to do some damage control.

First, I shouldn't have aired my grievances about the breakup on a very public forum. I was definitely wrong and very catty to do that. My emotions were running extremely high, and I was hurt. I didn't think about the very real consequences of my actions yesterday. But they were wrong with a capital "W."

As a result, I removed yesterday's post from my blog. I'm learning a valuable lesson here: Don't publish anything too private on here at all. I definitely looked and came across as a little less than mature (and passive aggressive) by taking a personal matter public.

Some of you might have even said that I'm crazy.

In fact, one great Anonymous Reader (listen, I put myself out there, and I have to ultimately take whatever comments that I get, right? just leave a name if you're going to tell me that I'm crazy for doing something) told me that I went the "psycho route" (or something to that extent) for getting The Ex's supervisor involved - unless I knew his supervisor personally. I'd like to address that comment now.

I do know The Ex's supervisor, and he has met me numerous times. He's like a second father to The Ex, and he's a really great person. When I called him, I didn't go into specific details about the argument - nor did the supervisor want to hear them. He did warn me not to be hasty in sending The Ex's belongings, which I should have listened to a bit more. I think I was just completely consumed by my feelings...but either way, I wanted to make sure that he would be able to get his personal belongings in a very safe and effective manner as The Ex wasn't responding to any of my attempts at that time.

Second? I want to thank all of my friends for their support and understanding. Surprisingly enough, I'm actually fine today. More than fine. I cried enough, and everything hurt. I think all of this taught me to be less reactionary and much calmer about situations. Leave things as they are and deal with them internally or with a few friends - but not the WHOLE internet community. Surprisingly enough, I'm doing extremely well today. EXTREMELY. I'm ready to just enjoy my life, learn more about myself, and move on. I harbor no ill-will against The Ex. In fact, I still love him and respect him very much despite our breakup. The Mean Girl in me came out and made something private very public, and I apologize to him for doing that, because it makes me a horrible person.


Okay, so on to our FAVORITE Mean Girls!

Last night's episode? REALLY boring. Really. I expected all the drama to escalate, but much to my disappointment, nothing huge happened. At all. You might as well have put a paci
fier with some warm milk in a bottle for me and put me to bed after the first five minutes of the show.

I did, however, think some more show time was given to Kandi. Oh Bravo. Please stop with the flashy shots of Kandi's GINORMOUS ring. Okay, so if you're going to have all those flashy shots of Kandi's ring, give girls like me a WARNING, because the ring? BLINDING MY EYES. I didn't have my sunglasses nearby to protect me from the glare. Again? Solar eclipses? They cause retina damage. Just send a pop-up message to me at least an hour before the show begins so I can make sure that I have my sunglasses ready.

Kandi's drama? Blogs continually talking about her pending marriage to Mr. Instant Family in a Can. Alright. I get it. He has SIX children. SIX. Can we move on from Kandi and her family drama, because it's not really feeding into my need to see really dramatic things like oh, you know...fighting and yelling and hair-pulling.

I'm just sayin'.

The show did leave with a cliffhanger, however. Yep it did! Apparently NeNe, Sheree, and Kim sat down for dinner, cocktails and an intervention. None of my girlfriends have ever done that for me before. You know? Taken me out for dinner, cocktails and an intervention? It sounds cool. Maybe next time I should send my girlfriends Evites that have this whole dinner, cocktails, and an intervention theme. I wonder if Evite makes e-cards for interventions. I will have to investigate...

Apparently Kim had been talking smack about NeNe and Sheree, and NeNe and Sheree wanted to get down to the bottom of Kim's "lies" as they called them.

At the end? Two loud black women, one frightened white woman, and a restaurant full of patrons who kept watching the drama unfold. Bravo keeps including this spoiler alert where you see Sheree grabbing Kim's wig. They've been doing it for weeks now. I hope the next show begins with Sheree pulling Kim's wig, because that? What I want to see!

Fangs up; claws out. If you can't get blood, make them cry instead.

  2. There were two "Anonymous" people on the blog yesterday.

    I knew that a majority of the posts came from him, however...

  3. I thought the post was great and he deserved everything you said. You are awesome and he is the crazy one if he doesn't want to be with you!

  4. Thanks, Anonymous. I'm glad you enjoyed the post. I just don't want to go bashing The Ex. He does have wonderful qualities, and it's true. He was pretty much at the mercy of MY blog, so he made a "guest appearance" to make his voice heard. Right now we're working on just talking to each other and listening. Will we get back together? I don't know, but just being communicative and speaking to each other like adults is much better than harboring ill-will.

    That's the only thing that I can do right now.

    But thank you for reading. Thank you a lot.
