Thursday Morning Coffee

Had my usual decaf and protein this morning.  Hasn't rained on this side of the state - but we got a ton of it yesterday.

QOTD:  My sister and I would play a lot, but we had a bunch of neighborhood kids to play with in the summer - boys mostly and would play baseball, tag, etc.  In the winter they had a frozen ice rink and we'd go over there and ice skate.  The girl next door was inbetween my sister and me in age, and it all depended on who she was mad at at the time as to who she would play with.  Rarely did all 3 of us play together. 

In Jr high i got to be very good friends with a girl and we stayed that way until graduation.  With that we both married guys who joined the Air Force and then were separated.  We stayed in touch on occasionally, remember Christmas and birthdays for the most part but that was it.  I saw her for the first time last summer in over 20 years - was good to catch up.  I just wish she could see the "skinny new me" now - lol.  In time, I'm sure. 

I too have a hard time making friends.  I usually have a few, but the ones I do have live in Saginaw and Troy - kinda far away and hard to keep in touch with.  Luckily one is a coworker so at least with our jobs its keeps us connected.  Right now I'd say its my daughter - we are very close and can tell each other almost anything. 

Honestly, I'd LOVE to have a best friend I could do things with and kick back with up here.  I find that most women my age have already got their friends and aren't really open to finding new ones.  Just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong....  It seems when I was married (both times) I got so wrapped up in my marriages that everything else kinda took a back seat...
 

Isn't it funny how so many of us are finding we have a lot in common?  

I didn't make friends very easily during high school, and then I got married.  It seems harder and harder to make friends once you are in your 30's.  I have some friends that I have met here, and I think they are great, but they don't live close enough to see all the time.

I have had a few "potential" friends, but sometimes they turn out to be the crazy psycho kind that want to call you all day and do everything together.  That makes me back away from someone really fast!

I consider you guys my cyber friends, and I'm grateful we can talk every day and share stuff, and I don't have to clean up my house before you come over LOL

Brenda,
When my computer was in the shop for a week I found myself driving across town just to use my moms so I could see what everyone was up to  . . .  This is a nice group . . .and your right Judy you can't see my dust  . . . .lol

Brenda, I have a tendency to attract the crazies too. 

I think some of it is because as a fat kid I was never popular, never sought out, and so I tend to fit in with the other "misfits" better than with the cool kids. Still do.
