Bette and Tina had wound up going with us to the home store to pick out our new kitchen stuff after the fire. At first I thought it was sweet of them, but after half an hour Alice looked murderous, and I was feeling a little homicidal myself. I was wishing Shane and Jenny had come along instead, and while it made me feel a little bad, every time Bette said something snobby I wanted to deck her. And then I felt horribly guilty for thinking things like that about her, because although she was a tad on the ritzy snob side she was still a really good friend.
Still, Alice was having fun, and that was enough to make me love it. I was big on decorating, and Alice was letting me give her suggestions on colors to paint the rooms. We hadn’t exactly been planning to paint this soon, but we figured that since we’d be painting the kitchen anyway, we might as well just do the entire house.
We didn’t tell anyone right away, but we were going to ask them to help us. We’d decided on it the night of the fire, after everyone had gone home. Well, I say “we” decided on it, but it was all Alice’s idea. She still felt bad for not having everyone help us move. I kept trying to tell her that they were probably grateful for it, but she was still under the impression that she should have asked.
So, we were in the home store with Bette and Tina, looking at refrigerators. Bette kept going off on different brands, and I kept looking at Tina and rolling my eyes. Sometimes I really wondered how she’d been able to stand this before they broke up. Not that it mattered now, of course, when they were on their way to getting back together, but still. Sometimes Bette reminded me of my mother, and for as much as I loved both of them, that comparison made me a little sick to my stomach anyway.
“You said you wanted brushed steel, right?” I asked into Alice’s ear as Bette went off on the benefits of something or other.
“It really doesn’t matter…” she started, but I cut her off.

MT, I missed reading this story. I am thankful for your update because I want to know how A was progressing along and hear more from D talking about the rest of their years together. I am sorry that I was unable to comment for the four posts. Now that I am all caught up, I can give me two cents. Seriously, your storytelling skill is superb and I am so taken by the emotions that went along with each scene. Given both of them had issues, their love for each other carried them through out their years together. I am certain that as hard as the current situation was, together, they would survive this ordeal. As for this update, the shopping scene was hilarious with B & T making out in the public and A & D’s reaction was super cute. I hope in time we will learn more about A’s reason for not talking about her writing and her insecurity of being away on business trip. I think there was more to just about her father and mother’s time apart. Love how Shane was helping out with the shelves even though she was hurt. Judging from Jenny’s reaction, were they an item already? And you ended it with a smile from A. Just perfect!! Lastly, I sincerely hope that you will be able to resolve your financial soon. If you cannot post, we will understand. Most importantly, is your health. Whatever it is, I hope you get better soon. Thank you and please take care of yourself.
I laughed out loud at this — I could just see Alice saying it: “Gabby’s here?!” Hee! Green kitchen? Yay! They heard me! The whole kissing conversation was very Danish. I understand both Alice keeping her writing to herself and Dana being upset about it. Poor Alice seems to have a lot on her mind. Love Dana’s idea on the outdoor office. It sounds way cool. The kid talk made me go all gooey inside. Great update, MT!! Thank you so much!! Thanks also for letting us know what’s going on — I would have gotten worried. I hope you feel better soon, hon!
HOPE HOPE HOPES you get better soon and i know all about the money thing, sucks! You have my sympathy. I’m loving this post almost makes me want to cry knowing that Dana is telling this story to Alice…*tear* For someone whos voice made their living it must really blow for her not being able to speak verbally! I’m loving how supportive Dana is..Really want to know more about the history, wonder why Al wont talk to Dane about the writing thing? Dana is such a sweetheart just trying to take care of her wondeful Al…Great job MT! I love it!
weeeehh!!! The Danish making fun of Tibette had me giggling. That was cute. I loved it, I think it’s pretty neat for the group to help each other out a lot. Dana is very sweet to Alice and stuff, that’s one of the best things in the world. Thanks for the chapter. I hope you feel better soon girl. I’m cancelling cable as well, no tv for me now but hey, we can be broke together. *shrug* hehe Take care MT. x
