Anyway...On the same lines of this song I saw this oh so cute book club party for The Help coming out on movie soon. I got sad-I am like..."is there anybody out there, wanna have a chick party with me?"...I miss my friends! It's hard to make friends when your old. I have made one friend, she is very sweet but she is very young (no kids, in school, stays out late, and wakes up late) but nevertheless she's a friend and someone to talk to. It beats me following people around the grocery store saying "wanna be my friend?"...is that pathetic- yup! But I'm okay with it.
I know friends will come with time... Until then- someone have this Help party...and serve this...

:( You will definitely make friends soon. You're so stinking likable! Seriously! Have you tried joining a mom's group or something? Church is a great place to meet friends, too.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in DC the rest of the year so I will definitely come party with you and we can try every one of those drinks! Added bonus - I already read the book! (Megan)
