This is all George Bush's fault!

Melancholy

1.Sadness or depression of the spirits.
2.Pensive reflection or contemplation.

When you lose just about every friend you have, there comes a point where you have to face reality and deal with the fact that you're the one with the problem. Everyone else can't be wrong and you be the only one right. So I have to figure out what my problem is and fix it. I can't live like this. I have a best friend in my husband, I have two kids who love me and family all around me, but I miss having friends to do things with. I miss getting phone calls and invitations to go hang out and have a cup of coffee, or to go see a movie. I miss laughing with people about things we've done in the past. I miss the connection I used to have with so many people.

I hate this feeling of being all alone. The loneliness is starting to eat away at me.

And the fact that I brought this loneliness and isolation upon myself is killing me.

I'll be doing much soul searching and making lots of changes in the days to come because I refuse to repeat the past and wallow in my sorrow. As hard as it is to look inside of myself, admit where I've been wrong and do what I need to fix it, it has to be done so that I can move on and find peace in this area of my life.

I so understand where you are coming from. I really hope you find the answers that you are looking for.

This is a lull Yvonne. They happen. Absolutely everyone is busy at the moment, and even you have a thing or two to busy around with (baby,eh?). Just hang in there and this time will soon be a distant memory.
And it is always okay to blame GW, because it is his fault after all.

hmm...sounds like my life. But, I'm so used to not having friends, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hang out with anyone anymore.

OK, when does own friendship start?
I live a million miles away, but are you free tomorrow night for a movie?
We could head to the mall for a bit and gaga over cute baby clothes, then I can tell you how jealous I am that you are pregnant.
I WILL laugh at you if your nipples squirt or you pee yourself, but only because I think you're great. I will also probably walk behind you and waddle, just for a laugh.

Oh no, not Robyn. Its bad enough we have Geoffrey Allen to deal with.

if you hovered over that robyn's name you would have noticed that it's not the robyn that you are thinking of.

Yes, but its hard not to think of our favorite little queen when you see that "name." She did say some of the same over-suguarly shit that SHE would say.

Sorry though. I still stand by what I said though.

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
