I want a list of every magic potion you use right now! ;)<BR/><BR/>Would you believe that I don't have many real life friends? I don't know anyone in real life that likes the same stuff I do. Blogging as it turns out is the best way to make friends for me :)<BR/><BR/>rueRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127064683340688898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-49880188045844651682008-06-15T17:34:00.000-04:002008-06-15T17:34:00.000-04:00It's hard to make friends especially as an adult. ...It's hard to make friends especially as an adult.

And I get really sensitive when I feel like I'm getting close to someone and they forget about something we've planned or I find out I was not included in something. I wonder what is it about me that makes me seem not so special. I'm not a very gregarious person or a very good salesperson of myself. Anyway, since blogging I too have made some friends and in particular a woman I met briefly here and there (she is the fiance of one of my husband's friends from youth). Through finding each others' blogs we have gotten much closer - very cool!<BR/><BR/>I am with you with the eyebrow grooming. I just look at any photo before graduating from college and I wonder what are those caterpillar doing climbing above my eyes!<BR/><BR/>Just looking around your blog and so far I love it!

I love your furniture make-overs too!! <BR/>I hear you on the friends thing - the older I get (not THAT old either!) life is just busier and maintaining or creating new friendships IRL is not just a "comment" - it's a lot of work sometimes. If you are lucky you have friends who will put in the effort, home, work, kids and all.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372988727575644425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-66633246062614314502008-06-11T01:14:00.000-04:002008-06-11T01:14:00.000-04:00You know I ask too many questions...:) I don't kno...You know I ask too many questions...:) I don't know what I'd do without you here in Blogville! :) Hmmm, probably go stalk some other poor, unsuspecting soul...Heathahleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526348513736437292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-56575158760945845752008-06-10T23:46:00.000-04:002008-06-10T23:46:00.000-04:00Hi!

I think it's encouraging to realize that there are other women out there in the world who actually feel the same way as I do. It makes me feel a little bit more ... normal. And some of those insecurities we publish on-line aren't easily shared face to face.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on selling your home.

But...secretly...I want it to be all about me :-) I do listen to what they have to say...and ask more questions...and then when I walk away...I wonder why they didn't ask anything. Did I not give them a chance to get a word in edgewise? Did I change the subject when it went back around to me? Or, do I just tend to think they really don't want to know anyway? <BR/><BR/>Blogging is so cathartic.
