My Dear Internets,
It is with great glee this morning that I must report to you of the demise of \u201cthe other woman\u201d, my husband\u2019s mistress<\/a>.\u00a0 At 10:00 last night, she passed from this world exactly as she had lived in it, cradled in my husband\u2019s hand.\u00a0 He used his considerable skills to restore her to life, but was helpless to do anything but watch her shining face fade forever.\u00a0 This afternoon, he will take her dead shell somewhere I do not know, and see that she is disposed of properly, to return to my home no more.<\/p>\n

O happy day!<\/p>\n

I do not delude myself.\u00a0 My rival for his affections will be replaced before the day is out by a younger, sexier, more alluring model, but she will be new and awkward.\u00a0 Fear not for me, I am poised and ready for the battle.\u00a0 I have tricks which she can not hope to match.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

But for now? This moment?\u00a0 For this moment, he is mine and always will be.\u00a0 When the time for mistresses has passed away, he will find me still here, the wife of his youth.\u00a0 How I long for that day to come.<\/p>\n

****Updated to add:\u00a0 The Computer Guy laughed this morning and told me that his mistress will not be replaced by a new model, but by her predecessor.\u00a0 \u201cIt won\u2019t be a cute young thing, but the MILF model.\u201d\u00a0 Hahahahhaha\u00a0 Is it any wonder that I adore him?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
