The White Flag is Waving

Marbella's alter ego has taken over today. She has stated that she doesn't give a hoot about being politically correct, slim and trim as a teenager, having the reputation of being a good housekeeper or the best cook around. Instead she is going to indulge herself this week with chocolates, sodas, playing on Pogo and whatever else suits her fancy. Sometimes when something comes out of the closet it is hard to get it back in.

She can be quite ugly at times. For instance she boasted to M. that she remembered her 10th birthday. She was at her uncle's house and she and her family had picked cotton all day. Her uncle decided he wanted her to have a birthday cake so he went to town and bought her a white cake with coconut frosting and a yellow t-shirt with superman on the front.

Next she bragged about how many lbs of cotton she picked a day. Then she asked M. what she did with her first paycheck from the cotton and when M. told her she bought a black taffeta skirt, a green gathered skirt for school and a red pair of Indian moccasins for her little 3 year old sister she thought M. was lying. Nobody would spend their hard earned money that way.

Alter Egos can be a real pain in the neck. This one caused Marbella a lot of trouble when Marbella had her first out of body experience. This happened when Marbella first become ill and was in tremendous pain. Marbella was experiencing some relief with the out of body method but all of a sudden the alter ego decides to stay out of the body permanently and boy you talk about the fight that ensued.

Anyway, thus the reason for the title, Marbella is waving the white flag for the day and giving the alter ego free rein. This could be quite an ordeal. Only time will tell.
