Friendship, friendship...just the perfect blendship..
OR IS IT??? You'd think being new to a place would make me more open to finding new friends. You'd be thinkin' wrong. I'm absolutely making different choices this time 'round. I'm definatly gonna be careful when I come in contact with people. Already, there is a lady I met, who calls me all the time, (And it irks me that she kept her cell phone from Kentucky to use as her ONLY phone and if I ever were to call her, it'd be long distance...) and has even dropped in a few times to "hang out". The first time she dropped by, was the day after my household stuff had been delivered (I'd only met her that Sunday, and this was that Tuesday) and I was in the middle of a HUGE MESS. I hadn't bothered to shower; I merely put my hair up in a clippy, threw on my sweats and a sweatshirt --used deoderant-- and got to work on the huge amount of organizing I needed to do. She showed up with her two non-school-aged kids. She chats for awhile, while her kids keep trying to get past my front door. I mentioned that we'd just gotten our stuff and she answered "Oh yeh, I saw the truck yesterday" and, as an after thought... asked me if she could take my kids for the day (which was really sweet of her...) I answered "No, sweet of you, but thanks--I need their help." (not to mention I don't know her from ADAM) as her 2 kids darted into my house. I grabbed them quickly as I had sharp knives lying around(to open boxes) and nails and hammers and all sorts of disarray goin' on. I explain this to her and she looks crestfallen. She leaves, but acts very put out. It took a lot of hinting to get her to go. Ok. I'm not trying to be rude. But WHO GOES TO SOMEONE'S HOUSE THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER THEY GET THEIR STUFF, JUST TO CHIT-CHAT? I NEV-er Ever would go to someones house and let my kids run into their front door without being invited...especially when I know they just got their stuff! I cannot put a word on what exactly bugs me about her... I just feel it in my gut... that down the road... there will be a price to pay for her friendship. Is that too judgemental of me? Definatly Steering Clear. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong... Thus begins the turmoil that begins with every new acquaintance for me.
