I've been kicking around ideas to send to PostSecret for a while now. I actually bought a Florida postcard with an alligator on it, and was going to write "I wish all the tourists would get eaten," but I never got around to actually putting it together.
And then my life took a series of interesting turns, and I no longer felt compelled to complain about the tourons (although dealing with them over Spring Break is causing me to reconsider the alligator card!). Now I can complain about my family. Well, step-family. Here's some of the cards I've considered. Let me know what you think:
(each phrase below represents a different idea, and would be accompanied by a picture of Lady Tremaine - Cinderella's wicked stepmother)
* Cinderella was always my favorite fairy tale. I would have picked another if I knew I would end up with my own wicked stepmother.
* This woman has NOTHING on my stepmother
* Are there any nice stepmothers?
Or perhaps a collage of various wicked stepmothers from film - Lady Tremaine, the Wicked Queen from Snow White, Baroness Rodmilla De Ghent from Ever After - and a picture of my own W.S.M. with a bar over her eyes. No words necessary.
Well, I guess the good news is that traditionally stepfathers are not wicked. Except in Lifetime movies. But that's another entry for another day.
Happy Easter!

"Cinderella was always my favorite fairy tale. I would have picked another if I knew I would end up with my own wicked stepmother." Love it! I think you should do it. I know others who have sent cards to Post Secret and they say it's cathartic. Besides it has just a slight whiff of revenge to it and I'm all for revenge in this case. She went out of her way and put a lot of effort into being mean to you. I'm all for striking back in some way.
(let me know if you ever need help TPing her house)

***** That sounds hopeful! *****
