Friends

So one of my friends moved to Chi-town recently and even though I haven't kept in close contact with her since she moved away to go to college and then after she moved further away to pursue her life and career I still consider her one of my best friends. Well I was thinking the other day about if we were really still friends. I talk to her every 3-4 months on the phone (maybe) and we communicate via blogs and emails. Was this really what I want out of a friendship? But I just couldn't shake the thought that I really like this girl. If there was something (anything) that I could do to make her feel like things were going right I absolutely would! I didn't NOT want to be her friend. I can't go see her at her new apartment or send her all the money she needs to get her feet in Chicago but mentally and spiritually I can be there for her. I guess I just want her to know that I still love her! Plus, you guys should check out her blog because she is new in the big city CC@ http://forkintheroadcc.blogspot.com/ and give her the support that she needs!

So this blog was kind of random but she rocks and even though we don't stay in touch she is my friend. I'm sure eveyone has one of those out there! :)

so much stuff

Well I don't have a lot going on in my life but I have a lot of stuff going on in my mind. Today I will be discussing how I do not want to have friends at work. Ever. Again. I have now thought at great lengths about this. My fellow blogger had a post that said she didn't like to make friends at work and I laughed at her. Only because if I don't make friends at work I don't really have places that I go to meet new people. Well turns out she was probably right!

I have a great friend at work. But now that she is leaving she is not being the bestest friend in the world. But only in the work-friend sense. I just see a lot of different things when we work together than when we hang out. I love this girl outside of work. And when she leaves in January, things will be fantastic! I will throw her a wedding shower and be so excited. And I have had friends that I have worked with in the past and things just always change when you are "co-workers." And I am starting to make a new friend at the new place I work. We are even in an exercise program together. I just don't want to get to the point in a friendship that I can get let down by someone. And there, ladies and gentlemen is why I don't have a lot of friends. I don't like getting let down. I know Leo won't let me down because he's my spouse and we have an arrangement. And my mom won't let me down, well to be honest because she's my mom. So I understand now why people say that they don't have friends at work. Screw friends! Oh wait, I mean just at work!
