I’ve asked you nicely not to call. If you call again, things are going to get ugly.
It was so good to talk to you today. I didn’t want to overwhelm you with the news I am waiting for, but I am glad we got to talk about life in general as we know it. There are no friends like old friends
H - if you don’t give me any idea what you want for Christmas you might not get anything 
So really chilly today, and FREEZING Sunday. But tomorrow mid 70’s. I had a really pretty WINTER OUTFIT to wear to dinner/symphony tomorrow night with a group of friends that was comfortable and just fancy enough. Now I’ve got to find something I won’t burn up in, that’s flattering, AND dressy enough. WTH?!? WHY, Texas weather, just WHY?
I’m really cold today – it’s CT, and it’s around 28 – but one of you is at -2 and the other is at -11, so I’ll just shut my trap and not say a word.
It’s really unfortunate you missed the party you invited me to at the behest of the host whom you are on much more familiar terms because you procrastinated so heavily at work that your boss finally became fed up with you and insisted you worked late that night to finish the overdue project.
Great atmosphere, delectable food/drinks(especially the punch and martinis!), and I had a wonderful hour and half long in-depth historical with two guests who specialized in German history as academics/during his grad school days. Best part was finding they enjoyed the conversation and warmly thanking me for joining them afterwards.
I m not rich, or even middle class but I am a bit lost when my friends whose parents are doing better are paying the rent themselves…I can understand if it’s utility or smaller expenses but rent?
So glad, dear neighbor, that you arranged a small winter happy hour as we are all snowed in for a few days.
It was a lovely time.
I am also laughing --but in a good way–that you did this and not me.
Never in my lifetime could I just serve popcorn and nuts.
I did bring just an appetizer from Trader Joe’s which was nicely received.
What I really do appreciate it the fact that I would never have made it simple.
And that your simple was actually perfect.
So ready to get away for a few days to Vegas for Christmas and not have to think of anything other than what to eat, what to drink. What to play at. Hopefully i will come back less tired and therefore less cranky!
I do not want anymore friends in my life of that particular religion’s belief’s system.
It has taken many years of throwing off the cloak to get to my place now.
So, no. You do not get to make these new friends without paying attention to me.
The date was planned so carefully so my DD could help me at home. Ugh, so hard for it to be postponed at the last minute!
He’s coming home! He’s coming home! He’s coming home! And I have two weeks off to just enjoy him.
How handy… I already have cats as my avatar. B-)
Yes, of course it is related to your exercise. You no doubt had nearly nothing to drink.
Terrible of me but really? You sort of deserve it.
I sure wish there was a Star Trek like teleporter. East coast US to Asia is a long trip. At least you thread the needle between snow events. I will be hugging you at the airport in a few more hours. Can hardly stand the wait.
No, I do not need another Christmas decoration just because my birthday happens to be in December. I could really use a sweater, blouse, gloves, or book just like anyone else though. And yes, birthday paper would be nice. Sigh.
To my dear husband and son who are now braving the slopes at 1°F… voluntarily. WOW!
You know that my boss chewed my butt off the other day for not being a team player (and I deserved that, somewhat). So why the blue blazes did you not go by the office to pick up my damned Christmas bonus ham while I was out of town for the day, after offering to do so and even writing it on your calendar?
Oh, that’s right. My fault. I know you love to humiliate me. Yet sometimes I still try to trust you.
Staying away from that “greedy” thread! That could turn into my real life and I’m not ready for it.
Staying away from the spouse kvetch thread too, for now. I don’t want to wallow and it can be really easy!
OK Southwest, I dutifully pressed 3 for a call back in 54 minutes and got my call back - and it was a rapid busy signal and then a loud click! Not believing your lies anymore, no thanks, I’ll just listen to the Muzak.
