Not that I really have no friends, because of course I do, they are really great friends and I love them dearly....but I have no friends nearby. None that I can call up to go out to dinner, catch a movie, attend a party or concert. Or even Divine Comedy.
My Roosevelt friends have effectively shunned me since my engagement to Slice. My college friends are still in college, except for Lu who is in the MTC, and not exactly a phone call away. Other friends have moved on or away, and for various reasons we haven't kept in touch.
Why is this coming up now?
Because Slice is taking his dad to a movie tonight. And it will be the second Friday night - in a row - that I'll be on my own.
{Remember all that cleaning I did last weekend? I did most of it Friday night.}
It's times like these I marvel at the change that my life has undergone in a short time. Only six months ago, if I wasn't out playing most nights of the week, I felt like a failure.
In honor of the old "single" times (which were also "college" times), I'm posting a portion of the QuoteWall we had in my 4th-semester apartment. Thanks Chantelle!
Don't worry about me, I'll be chilling with my mother and sisters tonight; always a good time. I love those ladies THIS MUCH.

ReplyDeleteAnd I know it's really no consolation, but I have no friends either! In fact, this is the FIRST night this week that I WON'T be on my own ;) (well, besides the kids, but until they can talk about something besides Nintendo and/or Barbie, they don't count!!) You're welcome, anytime, to come and be my friend if you're ever in town! I'd be thrilled! I often crave adult conversation - and chocolate. Which, I might add, go together nicely!
Oh, good times! That quote wall... Classic
ReplyDeleteBoo on anyone that doesn't talk to you anymore. I find you perfectly and entirely delightful-I've thought that since the first day I met you at the lonely Student Employment Office.
ReplyDeleteSo there were several items that I thought had topic for a rebutal (i think I spelled that wrong) ...
ReplyDelete1. Most of my comments are super scandalous... what was I on?
2. You could always visit me and then we could go to dinner and stuff, like old times.
3. You realize that even though we are your single friends, we don't have one of the few things that you do have... um... a HUSBAND that you can kiss anytime you want.
4. I think it is funny that you have quote that says "kissing is gross" and you were the first one to get married out of all of us. You obviously didn't think it was that gross ;)
Oh, goodness! That quote wall! I can't believe some of the things we said!!! I miss you, dear. I hope that life is going well--and we should definitely get together before I head off to the MTC in just a couple of months.
