I have an uncontrollable penchant to fly off the handle. I admit it but I have mellowed at an amazing rate in the past few years. I have done some dumb things in my life. Most of the time, I have covered them up in my mind like a cat in a litter box covering up shit and just try not to think about my mistakes. Sometimes, I find myself thinking of something stupid Ive done and I still cringe about it. And I quickly try to start thinking of something else. I dont like to remember when I have acted ugly. Like the time I told an assistant TX attorney general to go eff himself and repeated myself when he asked me if I really said that. Oh, yes, sir. You heard me correctly. Or the time I got so mad that I walked out of a deposition, shrieking like a banshee, leaving an entire room of lawyers and witnesses hanging out to dry with no court reporter. Another time, I screamed and hollered at a woman in my office and literally was on her heels and chased her out the door letting obscenities fly and pitching a hissy in front of more than a few people. Or the time in Puerto Vallerta that I threw a beer bottle at my now husband and missed his head by a mere inch simply because he was talking to a young hussy in a bikini with obvious fake boobage while I sat there, flat-chested (at the time) and all self-conscious. And drunk. On tequila. Which, in my defense, is a spirit I should never consume. It literally changes my personality. Yes, these little quips are only a sampling of instances where I let my temper get the best of me and I behaved poorly. I apologized to a friend today. We had a little misunderstanding awhile back and I had one of my little episodes and unfriended her on FB. And, guess what? She forgave me. I wish I could go back in time and apologize to those people above whom I treated poorly. I dont even remember who they were, except, of course, the Dave. And, for some reason, I really dont ever want to bring up that day in Mexico where I nearly caused my sweetie a brain injury. Maybe in the past 30 years he has forgotten about it.
