Operation: I Don't Live With My Mom

Today I walked down the stairs and said something that (I think it was her) Ms. B used to say and that I had always found incredibly corny:

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

I would say that it is the start of my (InsertHisNameHere)-Free life, but that is not possible. Had the "Rocker Not Roca" Plan (which, may I add, was a total sucess!) started out to remove KC from my life completely, it would have failed. I'm sorry, this is not Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind and life is not that easy. Once you've known someone, you can -I've learned- never absolutely remove them from your life. You may not see or talk to them anymore, but the memories that involve them just aren't going anywhere.
So! All that said, today is the beginning of Operation: I Don't Live With My Mom. The goal is not rid so much as not to care. Because, when you don't care, ridding comes inevitably and naturally.
The First Step in these Crystal Relationship Ridding Programs is quite fun - make a list of ALL the things that you hate about them. Things they do, things they've done, the way they look - anything!
Then, also fun, is Step 2 in which you make little funny signs with clever sayings to put around your room. Example from Roca: "We wear clothes that fit!"
Then ... I don't know. Oh, you tell lots of people about your plan, so they can laugh, but help you stick to it.
So, follow my 3 Step program next time you need to rid your life of someone stupid that you are inexplicably still hanging on to.
Updates will come as they happen... ;)

some times the louder one shouts from the roof top, it reinforces the idea exactly the opposite what they declare.
once one has caused a ripple on the waters of another's life, there is no way to stop the expanding influence.

See and you thought only the one read your words!
