Sounds like displaced anger to me, you know she is upset about something, perhaps like you said that she was missing out on a Christmas tradition, so she lashes out at the comment, but then, realizing how harsh it sounds, gives you an answer.
They really can confuse us with all the turmoil in their heads. This is probably one of those moments better left unscrutinized. I am working to learn how to distinguish those, too. Like I said, so much work for the LBS, right?
Well, thanks to you, I feel all fb savvy, now. I even figured out how to add my picture to my profile. I really am a throwback to another time, I think.
Do you ascribe to the two types of cooks theory - you know, the bakers and the cooks? I believe that people who spend their work time in jobs that stifle creativity, like me, lean toward cooking as opposed to baking because one can be a lot more "free" and liberal with cooking than one can be with baking(baking being so much more about chemistry and getting ingredients, measurements, temperatures and cooking times precisely right), while those in creative fields like the comfort provided by the constraints of baking. Just a half-baked (pardon the really bad and unintended pun)idea I have.
I love to cook and seriously entertained the idea of going to cooking school rather than law school but life being what it is, I did not.
