I can't believe it's been two years since I posted last. I visit nearly everyday but it's been relatively peaceful around here so I haven't posted anything.  For the old timers, I'm the SM who deals with the blinged out BM who believes in reptillians and Christ. For the new users, my skid's BM thinks there is a whole underground world filled with half reptile, half human creatures who exit middle earth and walk amongst us. Dick Cheney and dead Elvis, as well as the Beatles are reptile people. She also believes in Jeeesus and one of her favorite things to say is "I'm a Christian and I hope Karma gets you and your ugly f'n wife". She's currently on probation in another state.  She may still be married to Weak Chin and it turns out non-sexual sugar daddy (last blog) was just an alcoholic pharmacutical representative who was actually her boyfriend. She was kicked out of his house recently when she called the police on his son and it ended up with fake sugar daddy spending 4 months in jail because he had a warrant for failing to appear on his third DUI and got stuck in there during a pandemic. I gleened all this info using only a first name and a hunch about what jail records to look through. God bless Texas and their public records! I'm pretty proud of myself, I'm retired living in a town of 6,000 so I don't have much to do all day. 

Anyway, the last time DH heard from her was a while ago when she left a three part voice mail, recorded while eating something lip smacking and crunchy, telling DH she was ready to get her family back and it was time for him to dump me because she knew I was the mastermind behind it all and I would be heartbroken but she wants to come back. DH of course deleted the message and never responded. After Fake Sugar Daddy kicked her out, she returned to our state and she's now a Pilates! instructor. She's created a few fake social media accounts, probably while she was drunk, that I enjoy trolling. I especially like the Uncle Rico style videos of her doing Pilates! out in a field. They're actually just  still screen shots of a video that she's forgotten to crop, taken from a long distance but they're so gloriously awful I can't stop looking at them. 

So SS22 has a nice girlfriend who recently moved in with him. Her birth control pills "did not agree with her" and now she's pregnant. The first wedding had to be postponed. I don't know if you've heard about it, but apparently there's some sort of VIRUS going around and we need to SOCIAL DISTANCE and needed to be reminded of these facts every 12 to 13 minutes each and every day. So now the new wedding is approaching. I politely turned down the invite to the bridal shower because I knew Whackadoodle would be there and I didn't want a repeat of the car keying incident or the baseball game showdown that ended with her apologizing for "all the things she didn't remember saying about me but if she did say them she's sorry". Today was the gender reveal. I politely declined the Facetime invite because I'm an introvert and video calls were invented by Satan and DH wasn't available because of a work obligation so they sent me a video. DIL's dad is doing a countdown and I hear a woman shrieking 3, 2,1 trying to speed up the count. Then they pop some sort of cork and I hear more shrieking of "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, IT'S A FRIGGIN BOY A BOY OH MY GAW CAW CAW CAW CAW!!!!" So I texted SS22 to ask who was shrieking, he replies to guess and says she sort of ruined the whole thing by trying to talk over anyone. I have a low tolerance for loud shrieks and I told him she'd better not do that at the wedding after the kiss the bride thing. It's going to be a small backyard wedding, she'll need to do something to be the center of attention but DH thinks it will be a hands in the air for Jesus moment rather than shrieking. Then I get a text from SS22's future MIL congratulating Grandma? and Grandpa on the baby boy to be and there are posts from my MIL about how great grandma is so excited yada yada yada.

So my question and point of this post is......being a childless woman with no blood nieces or nephews, is it normal to not feel excitement about any of this? I mean, I love the SS in my own way, but I'm not his mom and I really just feel like a spectator. I feel neither happiness nor sadness. I've become extraordinarilly introverted lately and while I'm happy for DH because he's really excited, I don't really feel anything else. Am I the weirdo? Has anyone else ever felt this way?
