Friends, Life, Love, Relationships, Thoughts

When you are in a serious relationship there are going to be various points in which your significant other meets your friends.  Friends who you have had for years, months, decades, whatever.  Friends whom you love to pieces and hold dear for various reasons.  When you meet the friends, inavertadely they will tell you more about your significant other.

Tonight G got to meet two of my best friends since elementary.  We’re not as close as we once were, and tonight during dinner I realized looking around at us and real seeing how different we are (and how cool that is) how glad I am that we met when we were kids and life was simpler, because otherwise I’m not sure our circles would have intersected.

In as much as I seem to be  very public person in some ways, it takes a lot to get to know me and get close to me.  I have a handful of people whom I’m very close with and adore for various reasons.  Tonight I gave thanks again for the wonderful “circle” so to speak.

In other old news, I’m really 45.  Somewhere I missed placed some change.

Bitching, Friends, Friendship, Life, Love, Relationships

I’m human.  Sometime things really piss me off, and as much as I try to rise above it sometimes that’s just impossible.

But next time that someone calls up in the middle of the night needing an ear, I’d like to think I’d be less likely to pick up the phone now, but I won’t because I know I still will.

The next time that someone is just undone and needs a friend and I’ll stay up to lend an ear and a shoulder, I’d like to think I’d be less likely to do so, but I won’t because I know I still will.

I’d love to be a bitch, but deep down it’s not who I am and I cannot treat people like that in as much as I’d love to turn the other cheek.

Am I really that bad of a friend that I only deserve part time friendship?

Crafts, Crochet, Friends, Life

I’ve been on crochet hiatus for over a week now.  Since I finished up G’s massive sized afghan for Valentines Day (the first afghan I’ve ever made for a significant other) I had to left my fingers rest for a bit.  Now I realize I have two of my girlfriends who are pregnant, and having their baby boys about the same time.  I could have sworn that I had already made an afghan for one of them already for her first baby, she says no.  So now I’ve got some flying to do as I’d love to get two afghans done before those baby boys make their way into the world.  But I need to face the facts…. those suckers take some time!  Plus two other of my girlfriends just got engaged and that calls for wedding presents!  Phew…..

Thankful

I’m thankful for two of my best friends.

• My beloved G who knew I have had a horrid week, and not a good day at all, who after his guys evening out surprises me by stopping by to see how I’m doing.  Spontaneous and sweet.
•  My Lila who brought over a movie and hung out with me just having a laid back girls night.  Just the company / companionship was very thoughtful.

We all have times that we feel alone, then there are other times when we just have to stop and feel the support of the people around us.  Life is too hard to go at it alone without friends to keep you company down the everyday path.

Lila:  “So did you see the snow last night?  It was so pretty!”

Red:  “You call that snow?  I saw three flakes on  my car.  And no, not ones that we’ve dated.”

****silence****

Red:  “Yeah, I know it was bad.”

Lila:  “Eh… what’s bad is I was trying to figure out which three were the flakiest!”
