I'm not always a good friend because I'm not very social. I will get together to do things but only certain things. I like meeting for coffee and talking and I will meet to walk our dogs, etc. But don't ask me to some big loud party or to go to a concert or club. Those types of things give me anxiety so bad, I just can't enjoy it. I can't fathom liking such loud chaotic environments. So I will say no to those things each and every time.

I used to know this girl. It would drive me crazy because I would make plans to do something, she would want to join me. I'd say yes. Then she'd invite someone else, this 3rd person would not want to, or her and this other person would not be able to at that time so they'd then change up the plans and then she'd call me and say, "but so and so can't at this time or doesn't want to do that plan so let's do this instead" WTF? How rude is that? Um no, my plan was to do this. One time I was to be at her house at 1:00 with my dogs. She wasn't there. I was to just sit outside her house, with my dogs, in my little car, for an hour while she was just off with this other friend, she didn't care. No word, nothing, Just leave me sitting there wondering, waiting. I was FURIOUS. She didn't get why I was upset or what the problem was!!! That friendship SANK.

I'm throwing my husband a surprise birthday party on Saturday. I'm so excited to do this! I've never thrown a surprise party for anyone. Thing is, my husband has such a poker face that it'll look like he's not surprised or doesn't care. But I know he'll be happy. I put together an adult pinata and filled it with lighters, decks of cards, mini booze bottles, keychain bottle openers and some candy. Kids are welcome but I will not accomodate beyond hot dogs and juice. Sorry childrens. Guests are aware so I'm good... It's their choice. I'm tired already.

Whenever I drop something on the floor the dogs eat it. As frustrating as it can be, it's also nice to have an easier cleanup.

I'm vegan now, but I used to love burned hot dogs and French toast. Yum. So good.

I have 1 child and like him but I don't like everyone else's kids. Same with animals. I have a dog and I like him but can't stand other peoples dogs. Just because I have a kid does not make me kid friendly. This is mainly because no one teaches their children or animals manners and boundaries. I don't take kindly to a bratty child wiping their snotty nose on my leg. I can't stand when a child stands and whines about everything and is rude and demanding. I don't like holding other peoples fussy babies. I don't want to feed your baby a bottle just so it can spit up on me. You can have a child and not like kids and you can also be CF and love kids. Get over it people. Not everyone is going to have the same feelings and views as you do.

One of my dogs died this week. We still have his brother and I feel so badly for him. He seems so sad. We've been giving him extra love and attention. But I have to say, they one thing I was not prepared for after losing a pet is, noticing the empty space he used to occupy. It's so, so strange.

I don't know why ANYONE would care how a woman refers to her childed or unchilded status. "CHildfree" or otherwise. Who cares? Why read into it?! And what if someone DOES hate kids. So what. Some people hate kids. Some hate dogs. Some hate carrots. Everyone is different.

You know, I suppose I get it. I hate that certain breeds of dogs get their ears cropped or tails docked. I suppose it's only fair not to mess with the penis that way too. I've never been with an uncircumcised man, though.

RE the friend with the 2 dogs being lonely. Well, we invite her to do stuff and she won't leave the dogs, or, she has to leave after an hour because she's worried about them (even though she has the webcam) So she's brought it on herself, I'd say.
