What a weekend. I know that sounds like I am pooped from all the craziness and fun, but that is not the case. I was struck with a very hard case of the "i miss my friends" blues, and still haven't been able to shake it. What's confusing about it is the fact that this mood creates in me a lack of ability to contact said friends and scare those feelings away. I become withdrawn, anxious, and guilty feeling...bluh. It's just been so hard to meet people here. Almost a full year in classes, and I haven't even had a coffee date with any prospective new buddies. It's starting to wear on me, too. I'm starting to feel really socially awkward, and unable to carry on normal conversations with people. I seriously think that if I didn't have my fabric class, I would never leave the house. Kind of like when we lived in Savannah...
On a more positive note, Rob and I have been running a couple times a week. It's been pretty awesome, and I am on the brink of getting addicted to it. I don't know if it's the running that addicting, or the fact that most of my pants are getting too big. Either way, I'm feeling pretty good about it. It's going to be fun getting to see the look on people's faces when they get to see Rob again. He's going to be about half-a-Rob by this summer - pretty amazing! I should start documenting his belly as it diminishes. I wonder if he'd let me?

You better start documenting Rob's diminishing belly. That's the stuff blog dreams are made of. Do it!
i get the same way. i think "i haven't talked to X in a long time, i should call." but then i start to feel weird about it and then i don't call and then it gets to be even longer.
lather, rinse, repeat.
I do understand what you mean. Personally, I don't care much for talking on the phone. I prefer to speak to someone in person. So, I never call friends who live far away, or even friends that live close by (exception: must call them to get together in the first place.)
It's so hard to make new friends. It feels weird if it's a stranger your chatting up. It's like you're trying to "pick them up" or something. Stay on your best behavior, try to be witty or interesting, just like on those first dates way back when.
Thanks for saying such good stuff, everybody. It helps to know that I'm not a jerky, self-absorbed, terrible friend. Or if I am, at least I'm not the only one!
I'm working on the belly project...i think both rob and i are weirding out on objectifying him for the world. This IS a good thing that is happening, but it's going to turn into a car wreck if we're not careful. He wants to wear a sheet with a hole cut out for his stomach. Sounds so dirty to me! I'm in the process of finding a Before photo, since I didn't officially document before he dropped his....26 pounds! He's like an A cup right now, it's crazy.
