But....wait .... aren't I supposed to be perfect in all ways at all

times? Amazing how self-evident this all is when you finally say it

out loud and get an objective reality check. It all boils down to the

fact that to a nada only 'perfect' is 'good enough'. That's a very,

very hard one to get over.

Yes, he is a sweetheart. Nadas are just plain crazy. Everything they

do defies logic. It's so confusing. You can see the good in someone.

You can even love them, but nada will insist they are 'bad' somehow.

I just thank my lucky stars that for once I did what I wanted and

didn't let him wiggle away!

Oh, you make me laugh! I can't wait to tell my husband. He's a

'should-er " too!
