I guess I am so NOT into being annoyed these days. I've kept my last name through three marriages, and I've never been a real monogamous type, and I just don't get the energy it takes to be so annoyed! And I've been in this (3rd time's a charm!) marriage for 12 years now, and we're still really happy, not going anywhere, natch. Maybe I've surrounded myself with really good people who aren't so danged judgmental! Or maybe I just don't care and so don't notice and/or listen to the judgmental comments! Of course, I am using a pseudonym now, because I do have that professional concern with my name on the internet, but really, this is a wake-up call for me to notice how good my life is, that I really don't care what other people think. People just don't annoy me all that much any more. Hooray! Life is good. Wow. I guess I am so NOT into being annoyed these days.
