Say Anything
I think it's hilarious that Hugh Heffner got left at the altar.
Re: Say Anything
I missed this! What!?
I laughed as well!
Bio Good Times
You know, maybe it's because I'm not a golddigger or a fame wh0re, but I couldn't ever marry someone that old when I'm this age. That's insane.
Summer,
I totally agree.
Yeah, I don't know if she's feeling it or not. But every time we talk it's almost a stretch to find common ground anymore. Our lives are just going in completely different directions. They have been for a long time, I guess it was inevitable!
If it's difficult to find conversation or things in common anymore she is feeling it too. These things happen. It sucks sometimes but we grow and sometimes it means growing apart.
Yep, I know you're right. It's just sad because she was just in my wedding last year! It's crazy how much can change in a year.
In my adult life, I lost a friend to religion (I know that sounds weird) and another to her boyfriend. Like Julie, it was all on me, initiating everything, only to be blown off when we were supposed to do something every.single.time. So I stopped initiating and they never stepped in so it faded away on its own.
I've had a couple like that as well. With this one, we have kind of both done that. But then every few weeks we both kind of "check in" with the other person, it's like we're still trying to hold on. We used to talk every single day. I don't think either of us wants to let go.
In the situation your describing, it doesn't sound like you need to "let go" per se...but that your just in different places in life right now. I think its completely natural and I bet you guys will meet back up on the flip side someday.
LOL at Runaway Bride comment.
I know he's old but my jaw dropped when I saw his first divorce was in 1959.
While I am not surprised the wedding didn't happen, I figured it would have been called off a lot sooner. They are talking about this right now on the radio and saying that she wasn't happy with the weekly allowance (um, what else do you need that isn't readily available at your fingertips?).
That's a good way to look at it too. I hope you're right!
I would also like to know the answer to this.
Summer, I am kind of in that situation right now and it is hard. I think its okay to go through lulls where we only speak a couple times a month and the conversation may be a stretch because I think we will at some point have more in common. I only say this on this one person because we have done this before as we have been friends since 8th grade. I have however just stopped trying with other friends and they didnt try so we just stopped talking.
Yup....in that battle right now. My "best friend" hasn't treated me the best, she says lets do something, I say give me a date (she has a kid in sports, so I think she is more busy, I'll work with her schedule). And I never hear back. Or I set something up and she cancels, and she is just very materialistic, and anything you do/have her's is better. Like with the e-ring DH picked out, her comment was something along the lines of "your diamond isn't as big as mine" Yes, really...she said that. Pissed me off. Then she asks if I would one day "trade up like I did" I said NO! I want the ring Justin picked out, because its what he liked, and its what he proposed with.
Sorry for the vent, but it is say anything day, right?
But I hear ya summer....no fun at all, and sure as heck isn't easy.
On Hef - I'm not surprised, either. I used to wath the girls next door and they also had like a 9 pm curfew, too. I mean, I guess it would be nice to have a butler, a chef, a maid, etc. - but really she had to give up her 'freedom'. I don't know. I would never date anyone that's old enough to be my great grandfather. That's just gross. IMO.
On friends growing apart - I'm sorry to hear that Summer. It's like you know it's going to happen, but it just really sucks. I'm kind of like that with one of my friends. We went to college together and were best friends. We still call every once in a while to check in with each other. But, when we do get a chance to hang out (she still lives in Lubbock), it feels like we see each other every day. There are no awkward moments, etc. So, maybe you can just be long distance friends that see each other every so often. My friend usually comes to Dallas once a year during the summer to visit. (She's coming in two weeks!!).
Wow Crystal that doesn't sound like a very good friend at all! No offense, but she kind of sounds like a B!
If someone told me that my E-ring wasn't as big as theirs, I would have to say something like "Well, maybe not, but my marriage will probably last longer."
But, that's just me.
P.s. I hope I spelled your name right!
Yea....that is about the point our friendship kinda took a turn in a different direction. And no offense taken. See, that is how materliastic she is!
P.S. You spelled it right, most don't!
I've lost 2 friends this year.
One was my roomate for 2 years. She moved out and broke her part of lease to join the airforce only to end up not joining the airforce.
I feel am currently losing a friend to relationship that no-one likes for her.
From past experiences though I never "end" friendships if they go into a recession they will usually pick back up later on in life.
I'm happy and sad today.
My dog Cosmo is at my parents house this week because he had a vet appointment. Routine stuff...but he had to have anesthesia and he isn't recovering well from it. Poor guy, I wish I was there.
I'm happy because our new bedroom will be complete by Friday. Mattresses are coming today, a full 12 days earlier than expected and the furniture will be delivered on Friday.
Hello, sleep!
Tiffany, everytime you mention your dog it makes me happy. Growing up my parents bought a fully trained ridiculously expensive hunting dog. They brought him home and the dog instantly wanted nothing to do with them and clung to me. Since I wouldnt go anywhere near a field or a gun he ended up being a useless hunting dog but a wonderful pet. His name was Cosmo
I use his name in some form for things like passwords and hints ect. I miss him.
Sorry for the long story but it makes me happy.
Hey Ladies, just wanted to say hi! Things have picked up around here now that I have an office and people to interact with during the day. Hopefully I'll be able to check in more than the past two days going forward.
Have a good day!

Married - August '10
TTC - Since September 2011
Aww, so sweet!!
I can't believe there was another doggie named Cosmo out there!
I'm so jealous! I can't wait until we can get a new mattress. Ours isn't old, I just don't like it much.
Crystal,
I have always believed that people that put that much emphasis on material things are making up for a lack of other things missing in their life. Whether it be in their relationship, or somewhere else.
I wholeheartedly believe that. Because I used to be that way. During my engagement with my Ex-FI I cared so much about the material things, including a huge ring. I was trying to compensate for the fact that my relationship sucked. I didn't realize then, but hindsight is 20-20. Once I found true happiness, and someone I was truly happy with, I can honestly say I could live in a box on the street with DH and still be happy. I don't need material things to be happy.
My .02 about that.
I am just proud of myself for doing all of my workouts this week! Yay!! It feels nice to not be lazy anymore :-)
Tiffany- Yay for the bedroom furniture!

I was only at work for about 5 hours yesterday and I would say it was the longest day ever but today looks like it will take the win.
I think Broccoli and Rice Casserole is just going to be one of those things that I can't make. Anyone happen to have the Black Eyed Pea recipe? I think one of the things that gets me is that I don't use instant rice, I prefer brown.
Sarah, yay for the workouts!
I am feelings the same way. While I was working out the past few weeks, if I am being honest I wasnt pushing myself very hard so they werent hard. Between stress and being sick I just couldnt get into it. This week I vowed to really push myself and clean up my eating again and I feel wonderful.
I have been obsessed with the salsa chicken recipe I found about a month ago and make it at least once a week, it is easy, fairly heathy and so yummy.
