[font=Comic Sans MS][/font][color=Blue]Well, I suppose I should start at the beginning �
Hi. My name is Laurie Ann, and I am an addict.
Wow!
I could not believe I even typed that!!
I was utterly amazed to see those words in front of me �
So then I thought, how cool would it be to make myself SAY those words out loud?
Just so I could HEAR myself say them �
Well, I tried, but it did not work out so well �
When I opened my mouth, all that I heard were some muffled sounds in slow motion � kind of like the sounds one hears when Charlie Brown�s teacher speaks.
�Mmmmwwwa, mmwwwwwa, mwa, wa, mwa.�
And you know what THAT made me think of?? How long had THAT been going on?? How long had Charlie Brown�s teacher been whispering sweet nothings in my ear, telling me of things that I want to hear???
And there you have it ...
It was at THAT precise moment in time that I realized I had never, ever, ever, in my entire life, EVER, been able to show (or admit) that I might have faults � never.
Up until this quit, I honestly, cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die honestly, do not think I ever thought I had any �
Isn�t that odd? A 44-year-old person with an inability to admit she had faults �
In fact, she was a 44-year-old woman who had convinced herself that she was, what? Perfect??? Unflawed??? FAULTLESS???
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Could that be???
Ya think???
By George, do we have something here???
OH, GOODNESS ... OF COURSE NOT!!!
You and I both know that that would be impossible, so let�s try to begin this story one more time �
Hi. My name is Laurie Ann, and I am an addict.
(�Mmmmwwwa, mmwwwwwa, mwa, wa, mwa.�)
Damn.
Appears this might take a little more work than I had originally thought.
