Frienemies

Good afternoon! It is so beautiful out today. The kids, dog, and I just got back from a walk in the woods. It's a bit on the steamy side, but do-able. In the words of dd, "We got our vitamin D on". lol

Earlier this week, Monday to be exact, an acquaintance who'd been trying to get a hold of me for a month or so finally did. She wanted to "practice" her new Primerica job shpiel on me. I invited her and her two boys for lunch Friday (today). I ran around cleaning extra well, going to two grocery stores for the lunch stuff, got up early this morning to make some choc. chip cookie bars for the boys, got them their own lunch stuff, set the table, and just when I was curling my hair 30 min. before they were due, she calls.

It turns out her son wants to get his hair cut and she wanted to talk to both my dh and me. Long story a little shorter: she bailed! No apology, nothing. What a ninnified bone-head.

I need some real friends, or just one even. Women I know through my son (all the women I know) just want me to buy Pampered Chef, watch their kids, buy Tupperware, buy Mary Kay. It's never just about hanging out.

I'm LONELY! I'll have to plan my next move. And try to remember how to make friends and keep them. I think I'll start with knitting. I'll start going to a Thurs. group in Anoka. Tomorrow we're renewing our science museum membership so maybe I'll take some classes there. If I do things I love, then the people I meet there will be more likely to be people I'd want to meet.

On the up-side, dinner's already made! LOL

DH and ds are going to chip some golf balls this evening. I'll have the house to myself. That'll be nice.

Thanks for checking in. I'll go upload some pics from today. See ya!
