I'm having a pity party!!
I'm here alone this weekend and enjoying it I might add. BUT....I thought it would be nice to go out to eat and I honestly don't have any friends that live close to ask to go with me. That realization made me sad for a moment or two.
Even my family is gone...my older brother and his wife are on their way back from Florida with Mom and I really don't have any friends that I do anything with. I mean, they are people I speak with, but as for friends, confidants..I don't have any. I do have Lynne and all of you, but no one that lives close. I guess I can see what kind of life I'll have if I don't get out there more...huh? Kind of scary to think I may be totally alone someday. Do any of you worry about this at all? Or are you quite social and go do things with friends often?

I sometimes worry that I spend all of my time with Jim, and do almost everything with him. I forced myself to join a book group and hiking club - I've found that I enjoy the time with new friends and my time with Jim is even more special.
I'm also lucky to have a very large family, I have over 100 cousins that live within 30 miles of me - we spend a lot of time together. |

That would be nice Dobie. I only have my two brothers and my mom. My family is getting smaller and smaller.

I'm with you, Janet. Glen's out working, Jaci's at a music contest for school, and I'm home alone. At church we have two groups of people, the Senior's group and the Younger group and I feel like I've just been swallowed up in the crack between the two. I don't feel like I belong with the older group (that's my Mom's group) and I don't belong with the younger group (that's my daughter's group). I've always kept busy with things going on at church but lately there's been some things that's bothered me and I decided to take some time off. My husband would like for me to find someone to do things with and I asked him "Who?" Everyone works or they don't like to do the things that I like to do. So yes, Janet, I can understand completely how you feel. Wish that I lived closer. I'd take ya' out to eat or invite you over!!!!

We are home bodies too. We always get take out and bring it home. All of my family is either Northeast or in Texas. I have some friends from work and I do get to go places because of work. Other wise I would be like you, home with my dog.

It would be fun if we lived closer Diana. I just usually run the route and come home. Stay home till I go for the afternoon route. Then I'm usually home of an evening. I go to town about twice a week. Monday's to go to the bank and Thurdays to WW. I really need to get out more...LOL

Yes, you girls should get out more like me, I'm quite the social butterfly!
I'm thinking of getting a lap top so I can take you all with me when and if I ever go out again. FYI Babysitting does not count as going out

I have my kids, my husband, my mom and my siblings. i have recently made a friend who is a mother with no family other than her son, but yes I wish quite often that i had friends to go out shopping or to lunch with. I do not have the money to do either so I guess not having friends to ask is a blessing.
