My weekend
Jan. 13th, 2008 10:04 pmWith no computer access no less.
Things I learned:
1. My opinions and views on life are vastly different than these women. Some of my thoughts, had I shared them (I'm not that stupid), would have shocked the shit out of them.
2. I really need to shut up. Not everyone appreciates random bits of information flotsam. Especially when I know its contrary to what they think (i.e. commercially manufactured mayonaise, like Best Foods, do not need to be refrigerated after opening. It can be put in the pantry and it doesn't cause food poisoning if left out. Yes I know this is contrary to what people think and are told, but look it up. As long as you keep it room temperature (in the house) and out of the sun (at a picnic) its safe.) I noticed I did this most when I felt like I had nothing else to contribute to the conversation. I need to just listen and enjoy.
3. I don't feel like I truly fit in with these women. I'm not middle america. I've never had a group of girlfriends before, so I feel like I'm still trying to figure out the whole "hang with a girl group" dynamic thing. l also recognize that the feeling of not fitting in might just be my insecurities.
4. Elli and Gwen are no longer babies. They truly are little girls. *sniff*
5. I have a fabulous husband. Out of the entire group, he was the only one encouraging me to go and not giving me a guilt trip about doing so. And left him with 3 kids (BTW I have more kids than anyone else does too). And he didn't call me to complain. Definite blow job points for that.
6. The kids are real energy vampires.
7. Twin beds suck.
