October 1981, 6 years oldSo, I guess it's my birthday today. I am a little less that enthusiastic about it this year. It's not because I'm 34. That's cool. I think I'm a pretty hot 34 year old. I'm not happy on this birthday mostly because I'm having a suckish fall.
I'm discovering that I miss my girlfriends. By girlfriends, I mean those few girls out there who know everything (ok, almost everything). I miss hanging out. I miss chatting on the phone. I miss running errands together. I miss being catty and gossipy together. I miss giggling. I am definitely a girl's girl, and I want my girlfriends back!!
So, I'm mostly feeling sorry for myself today. Ok, not just today. The whole weekend. Help me out of this funk. Please.

Ok, I know I'm not one those girlfriends, but you are too cool to feel this way. I'm sorry and I hope you had and continue have fantastic days. And yes you are one HOT mama!!
Happy birthday!
See, this is what happens when a woman decides to work instead of staying at home where she belongs. You're having a sucky fall because God is punishing you.
:)
By the way, I thought that picture was Mimi until I realized it looked like it had been taken in my grandmother's kitchen circa 1979.
Happy Birthday!! It is a little strange to me to see these younger pictures of you. I looked at this and thought "Holy Cow, that looks EXACTLY like mimi the little sunbeam I used to teach in primary" But then your wedding pictures looked so much like patricia(sp?) So weird how you change. The last time I remember you...you looked like you! So strange. ANYWAY, I know I am also not one of those friends you mentioned but I can relate. I haven't made ANY friends since I've lived in Utah and It does get really lonely without that special social outlet. When you find those friends that really get you...nothing else compares. I hope your day gets better and by the way, you so don't look 34. You have always looked really good as long as I've known you. I haven't seen you since you started your new job. I am sure you have gotten in even better shape.
Awe, I know I'm not one of those friends of yours, but I still miss you, Marianne because your just awesome! Seriously, totally awesome! Oh and you are hot. I hope someday I can be a hot mama like you. First you need to teach me how to shop for cute clothes though. At least I learned to watch my posture because of you.
Thanks girls. The silly thing is that any of you could be. So who's fault is it that you're not? It's just time for be to branch out and make new friends. Ugh!! It's harrrd!
And Brandi - thanks. As if I didn't already have work-guilt.
I love you Marianne!!! Talk about a downer. Ok...I'll call you this week. I'm so bad about this whole being a good friend thing. You know what we should do? We should throw a party. I know...my answer to everything. Party party! I wish I would have thought of this a week ago, then maybe you'd actually have a birthday party. Bad friend.
You know I was kidding, right?
Because in reality you have inspired me to seriously think about becoming a certified trainer myself.
(You know, so I can let a stranger raise my kid while I work all day and God can take a turn punishing me.)
Why does it seem like a fantasy to me to be at work all day and not raise my kids?
Yes, Brandi. I know you were joking. It made me LOL.
About the personal trainer thing - You should do it. But you'd have to get over your shy-thing. Like really. You have to be perky and outgoing when you are working with total strangers. And you have to pretend that you like them. Until you get to know them, and realize that you really do like them.
Coffee helps. Lots of it...or so I heard...
It's funny, because I was just thinking the SAME thing - missing the girlfriend thing. Since most of my female friends are stay-at-home moms, they get together during the day - when I work - so I really miss the girlfriend interaction. Of course, I'd hesitate to say that, for fear that Brandi would tell me that God was punishing me. :-) Hang in there!
I know. The shy thing (and my dislike of people in general) is mainly what's holding me back. That and my jiggly pannus.
And being away from my kids all day is a fantasy of mine as well. Believe me, I threw a fit when I realized Amelia missed the cut off for all day school this year by 13 days.
I know it's better to be at home with them, but it doesn't mean I don't fantasize about sweet, sweet freedom sometimes.
Happy late birthday! And I agree, I totally thought that was Mimi for a minute. In four weeks I can come to the gym with you and you can kick my butt while I let someone else watch my kids all day. But I like Ariella's idea better! I've been stuck home with my baby for two weeks now and I'm ready to get back to real life. BTW Vivian is in demand at our house. I've gotten out the winter clothes and when Mad picks out her outfit she asks if Vivian gave it to her.
Happy Birthday!! What did you do for your birthday? Kid-free time for birthdays is a rule, right?
so is it bad of me that I've on purpose not made any friends since I've been in KS cuz it was so hard to leave MD? I seriously think I cried most of the way here...well I would have had my mother not sat across from me judging my every move.
I feel bad that I missed your birthday... so Happy (belated) Birthday you hot mama =) Hurry and come back so we can hang out!
