You know, I try really hard to get along with people and be understanding of our differences... but there are just some people that I can barely stand and I find myself forced to be civil and kind because they are indirectly related to me in some way. 
Mr Isla's family alone has 5 individuals who make me sick to my stomach with the things they say and do... three of those are in his immediate family. Recently, one of his sisters has taken it upon herself to 'get us right with God' again... you see, we are no longer among the Saved... Everyone knows that is true because I have a reclining Buddha in my bathroom garden and Mr Isla is taking Tae Kwan Do, which is obviously a Satanic practice. The fact that he is taking Tae Kwan Do is evidence of his rebellion against God. His mother wouldn't let him take it as a boy, not even Christian Martial Arts. She says she was saving his soul... I say she was saving her money for more jewelry and furniture for her estate! In fact, anything that isn't from the Christian Bookstore or Victorian in style is suspect. When you walk into my house and see my eclectic tastes... everything from antiques to asian art... you will realize that I am a non-Christian... Never mind the fact that I have a collection of religious art... that's all evil, too.
Anyway, what brought this up besides the fact that she keeps sending us Christian publications for everyone's birthday (which is fine EXCEPT that she is being none-too-subtle about the fact she thinks we are no longer 'Saved') is that she told my daughter that the reason her little romance with the preacher's son did not work out was because my daughter isn't virtuous enough. :| Um, how about proximity? The boy and his family live over 20 miles away. That's enough freaking reason for me!
The horror of it all is that, unbeknowst to us, it seems the whole evil family plans on being in St Augustine the weekend Mr Isla and I are going. Well, the Mr and I plan on having the most hedonistic time we can handle in our advanced age, so they better steer clear of us sinners! Heh, I don't plan on letting him out of our room except maybe to go for a bike ride. I may flip out if he says we have to meet them for dinner or something! Since it is my birthday that weekend, I bet I can get my way.
Next on the list of complaints is my ex-husband, his wife, and their incredibly spoiled younger daughter. Unfortunately, I have to be nice to them (they think I'm a freaking angel) because they are part of my daughter's family. But in truth, they do not treat her well and she and I both look forward to the day we do not have to deal with them any more. Well, she may have to deal with them a little as an adult, but I doubt she will have much contact with them. They treat her like dirt, basically, and I believe it because I know them well enough to know they have their heads so far up their butts that they can't see what they are doing.
It just sucks that there are people you have to put up with because they are either important to your spouse or to your children. One of these days, I'm gonna pull a GirlFriday and let them all have it!
Thank you for listening. The End.
