Eileen Chang

I've chosen a very bad time to make my first entry on this blog. I'm positively fuming! That Miriam Squits and her agenda!! Honestly, petunias for the scool jamboree, when the majority of the committee wanted violets!! I'm not normally one to pass judgement, but I don't know how poor Bill puts up with her? He's such a lovely man, very kind and gentle and so in touch with his feelings. And the things she expects from him!! Why, just the other night he was telling me how she made him rotate all the cups in their house by 33 degrees. Madness!! It's a wonder he's stayed with her this long. I mean, it's not like he hasn't had any other offers. But he's told me already that he won't leave her for fear of what she'll do. It's a shame. *sigh*

But then I don't blame him really. I think everyone in the Cove is afraid of Miriam. She does have the most frightful temper. I dont think I'll ever forget what happened to poor old Amanda Payne when she disagreed with Miriam. 7 weeks in the hospital if I recall correctly? And she left the Cove as soon as she was discharged. Frightful stuff...
But sometimes you just have to follow your heart regardless of the risks, you know?

But enough of my silly ramblings, let me tell you a little about myself. I'm Eileen Chang. 'Ms' Eileen Chang. My husband passed away over ten years ago, and since then I've been so lonely. I haven't given up on love though, and I'm currently seeing someone. I think this could be it. He's so in touch with his feelings and so kind and gentle. My daughter tells me I'm crazy. (I think she's already been on this, but using her nickname? Plex or something silly...?) But I just tell her that love is crazy.

Love is crazy...
