There's Something About Mary: Mary Rambin is the Dr. Phil of Blogging

Mary posted the following:

Julia has just written me an email implying my resolution to stop snapping at people is not enough. I think it is, and I’ll explain why:

I don’t believe in resolutions because I attempt to improve myself on a daily basis. Sometimes I fail miserably, but tomorrow is another day to try.
This is a “chronic” habit that needs serious attention. Sure I have plenty of other problems, but this one is no longer acceptable to me.
You can bet when I read Julia’s post demanding more resolutions I sent a reply that wasn’t so pleasant, but I believe justified. In this next year, I have to watch my words to distinguish if emails like that are justified or not. In this scenario, I believe it was. But, as per my resolution, I will rethink it.

Yep, Mary, I’d rethink it if I were you.

Don’t actively call for my resolutions when I already posted what mine
is along with the fact that I’m not blogging for another day.

Thanks for being a good blogger

I think I made it pretty clear I don’t like resolutions on any particular
day.

Night night

wow. mary, you’re on the most beautiful, amazing vacation I’ve ever seen, and you still manage to be a cranky bitch. Truly impressive, my dear.

It makes me especially mad, because I just wrote you a really sweet Christmas card.

Happy New Years to you, too.

January 2, and there goes my Zen-like calm. Sigh.

US:

OHMYGODITSHAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh see Scary this is why I hate you and this is why I have a soft spot for Julia. You are a CUNT! Wow.

Coming from Julia’s perspective, she is not just saying one quick sentence to get her homework done, she is practically outlining her goals for the year in many areas of her life. Even if you “attempt to improve yourself on a daily basis”, is there any real harm in outlining it? Or writing it all out for your own benefit, something to keep in mind throughout the year as you “improve yourself on a daily basis”? So arrogant, so lazy, so obnoxious and rude.

And this is how she talks to her FRIENDS! If one of my friends who is also a business partner, was not putting forth equal effort (one sentence?) and I let her know I wanted more in a fun and friendly way, and got THIS response? I would have posted it too.

Fucking bitch.
