What hiatus?

So, after the meeting with the friend after seven years?

Yeah, after about an hour...it was like we saw each other last week. Not seven years ago.

The kids got along great, the moms chatted and caught up. We had lunch.

I found out that when you are showing off at two, you're adorable and when you are showing off at almost five...not so much.

We really did have fun. Her family is good, we shared pictures and happenings.

We planned to see each other next week again. It was nice.

Turns out she's not all that far from me so get-together's are not only possible but totally easy to do.

So yeah, so far so good. Forgive me for being guarded but this is still new here and I really don't know what to expect. It all happened so fast. One minute she's gone for good, the next I'm on her couch eating a bagel...She knows more about me from the past than anyone other than K (who moved far, far away) So it's nice to reconnect to that. I know more about her the same way. So having her back in my life would really be a treat for me. Especially since you are all aware of my IRL friend situation, or lack thereof...

I harbor no hard feelings toward her, it seems she feels the same. I look forward to catching up. But you know me...Always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

As of right now, I am grateful for the reunion that we had. I look forward to other shared moments. I hope that we can remain friends and share the rest of our lives together.

I am happy we found each other again and I am happy it feels like 'old times' all over again.

But I would not be all that surprised if it just for some reason, didn't work out. Ya know?

I'll keep you all posted. Promise.

Haiku "Holy Hell, it's Friday...Really?"

Just like Monica
Friday snuck up on me too
Haiku Friday. Now?

But since I'm linking.
I figure I'll tell you all
Why I love to blog

All this in one day
The "stay at home mom's lament"
made me feel better

Playgroupie has days
like the ones I've been having
I share your pain girl

I was drawn to her
Haven't read her in a while
She feels it all too!

This is my soul sis
I get her more than she knows
so honest and pure

Is it possible
to connect with a blogger
without meeting her?

Such fantastic blogs
from such fantastic women
all share my feelings

in one way or in
another, they just get me
and they tell me too

in e-mails and in
comments that lift me up when
I'm feeling so down

They know how to cheer
me up in the foulest mood
on the "w-w-w"

Could never thank them
enough for all their support!
Virtual hugs friends!

I love all of you
friends not in real life but close
thank you for your strength.

Hey, come on over....

Hi friends...Have a good weekend?

Good. That's nice.

I'm somewhere else today...come visit me. I'm blog sitting.

Leave me lots of comments and let me know you were there...

Oh, you look so nice today. Did you do something different with your hair? Well, whatever it is, you look mahvelous dahling.

In my quest to find a new friend...

I've been taking the girl on a few play dates lately.

She has some friends in her class that actually make their moms call me to arrange play time together...(How cool?)

I've been having an okay time with it. I'm not the social butterfly you all think I am...I have a hard time being comfortable at first. But the few moms I have met so far have all been pretty nice.

We've chatted, shared stuff, the kids have played nicely together...Dare I say, it's been quite pleasant?

I hate having to make sure my house is neat though. It's very difficult to hide the piles of laundry. Especially when the play room is right next door to the laundry room...You know?

And I have a huge headache after the playdate is over. I need serious Excedrin after most of them. Why is that? Why am I so anxious about all this?

Anyway, yesterday we had another playdate with a boy in her class...I'll call him Bo. We went to their mansion house. Can I tell you, I almost wanted to puke at the grandness of this place the house was gorgeous! Huge rooms, huge furniture, huge ass kitchen...I begged asked her nicely to show me around. Then I realized who these people were. Quite well endowed Famous ass Fairly comfortable and famous business if I do say so myself.

The point here is...I enjoyed myself. Fa had a blast. And this mom isn't snooty at all what I thought she'd be like after I saw where she lived...She's pretty cool. I think I like her. And Fa loves Bo dearly. They played so nice together...

I am happy.

I'm proud of us, Fa and me. We are branching out. And enjoying it. We are taking steps together to make new friends...It's nice.

And honestly, I still can't believe I'm doing this...
