With A (little more) Help From My Friends

Gee, I love that song.

Mike says I need to make some friends. You know what? I'm just too darn tired. I don't drink (at all--I know!! You must be floored by that statement) so I don't hang out at bars. My church is a 40 mile drive and everyone there is waaaay older than me.

Most of my past friends are 40 and up, but church is too far to drive to go looking for pals. Still thinking of looking for local church. I've gotten pulled over too many times on that highway on a Sunday morning.

Usually happy hanging out at home with husband; eBay keeps us pretty busy. Dogs amuse me and I talk to Mom every couple days so I'm not a total shut-in. Yet. Used to spend more time with family--but not since the last time Family WWIII erupted.

That's the problem with these people. WWIII erupts about six months. Maybe that's why I've been feeling a bit lonely. For the first time ever, I am a butt of everyone's grudge. I didn't even do anything!! That's the problem with these people.

Still, I'd sometimes like a girl friend to go shopping--er window shopping--with.

On the other hand, I never got along with girls that well. Not sure why. Or maybe that it's just I'd never gotten close to any. I've always been viewed as sort of "one of the guys". Probably has something to do with my fascination for dorky things. Shawn probably wouldn't like me having a close guy friend anyway.

There's only so much I can discuss with Mom. Well, at least we're closer than we used to be. Up till a couple years ago, we hardly spoke much. I was a teenager well up until I was 23 and that hampered our relationship.

Still, there's only so much I can discuss with Mom.

Oh well. I am a bit drained from work anyway. This heat isn't exactly the great pick-me-up. Or haven't you noticed from my tone?
