The Jealous Women

Who are the jealous women? One drove by snidely today. She is overweight and plain. I've been overweight myself so I don't get it when the ugly or fat chick has a beef with me because of her own insecurity issues. I'm not gorgeous, I think it's that they don't like my self ocnfidence. I feel secure with myself and my body and some, perhaps, wish I did not.

Other women, I think, might be jealous of my brass or brains. Like Karine. Why would she be hateful and jealous of me? she's pretty enough on her own and I think her family is close and has connections. She was jealous of my friendship with Stephanie Maiers, because Steph always talked about me and she and I had been best friends. But why dig in her heels a decade later, when I never even KNEW her personally and she just knew "of" me from others? When I saw her yearbook photo and what she'd written her "goal" was, I thought maybe I got an insight.

Most of the kids who were seniors were writing out aspirations of "making a lot of money", "having a rewarding career" or having a large house or going to an Ivy school. Karine's aspiration and goal was to make it to graduation.

Which makes me wonder if maybe she's not the sharpest chip off of the old block. I mean, how hard is it to "make it" to graduation? with all of her advantages and opportunities and things that are just handed to her?

As far as I know, she ended up marrying well and becoming a PTA mom. Not very intellectual. No offensive to the PTA people.
