Ah!!!!! I had a post scheduled to go up yesterday at 3am and it never went up! What happened to it? It vanished!!! Must have had to do something with the Halloween haunting hour. Grr… Hopefully Wordpress doesn’t end up showing both tomorrow.
Now down to business… Last week, we read about Yasmin bumping into her neighbor in the hallway, just after snatching the wreath off of her apartment door. Good news, Yasmin was civil with her neighbor, but check out the interesting news that she uncovers. Poor Yasmin. What will she do next? We’ll find out next weekend! 😉 Enjoy your week and may you have a very blessed one! 🙂

“Is he leaving for another business trip?” She asked.
“Oh Mrs. Frederick,” I said sweetly. “It turns out he was never going on business trips, he has another girlfriend, so I decided to leave.”
“Actually he left me and told me that I had a week to get out of his place, because he and his new girlfriend were planning on moving in and that I needed to go.” I bellowed, regretting my tone as the words left my mouth but needing to share the information with someone.
“Not that cute blonde girl he brought up here for Thanksgiving?” She asked, her eyes growing large.

Terrific eight, Neva. You grabbed this reader right away. She had to vent. Men are definitely from Mars.

It’s something we can all relate to. That sudden admittance of something sad or hurtful, and then questioning or even regretting we said that. Poor girl. Very interesting conversation. I’m looking forward to reading more! 🙂

LOL, believe it or not we’re not going to hear much more about the blonde. She’s only in the story once more. It’s actually a Christmas story, though I know right now it doesn’t seem too much like it. 🙂
