My boys and I were invited to a pool playdate today. We had so much fun, especially me. This lady and I have been making small talk for several months now at our monthly homeschool meeting. She always seems very nice and her boys have asked to play with my 7 y/o and today it finally happened.
She e-mailed me on Thursday asking if we would like to join them at their local pool. I e-mailed her back a bit late but said we would love to go.
I am not holding my breath on a second invite, if it happens it will be great but if not at least it was fun today. What usually happens is we go on one playdate etc and then we never hear from the families again. I am not sure what we do wrong but it happens all the time, without fail.
Well I just wanted to share that bit of good news today. Till next time.

Women's Bible Study
Well it went pretty much like I thought at the study. We watch the video then discussed the questions and all went home. It was a great study and I did get a good lesson.
Ah alast I didn't find the friend there, so the search continues. Thanks for reading my post and please comment if you have a moment.

A Trip To The Library
with my kids this morning. A room filled with moms, I would love to connect with anyone of them. Share back and forth our kids funny moments and milestones, but everyone is too immersed in their own bubble it seems.
I said hello to a few and extended a warm smile and got the same in return but nothing beyond that. I interact with my kids and we sing and participate in the story time. Afterwards we went and chose a few books to take home with us. That was the end of passing moment in my morning.
I stopped by Wal-mart on my way home to pick up a few essentials we were missing at home. Had a little bit of small talk with the cashier, who was pleasant. My kids had a few exchange of words with her about the flavor of Cool-Aid, which was a bit funny to listen to.
Now we are back home doing some crafts witht the kids. I think it will turn out okay, we are letting the paint dry a bit. I will post a picture of the finished item when it is all complete.
This evening I am going to a woman's bible study. It run for a full 2 hrs, so I am hoping to enjoy that. Will it be the place where I will make this friend I seek? Not sure but it might give me some opportunity, we shall see. I will blog about that later tonight if I am not too tired.

The reason behind this blog
Moving to this new place was exciting at first, but then I realized I was leaving all and everyone I knew behind. I was going to have to make new connections and friends. Then I was scared to death of the change suddenly. How would I meet new people? Would I make a best friend? Would I be accepted and liked? So many new of everything.
Well, it has now been 3 years of trying and making attemps to make an adult woman friend and it just isn't happening. I have been meaning to blog about it for a while, but keep procrastinating, and finally told myself why not. Others who read this might be able to see what I don't see. Or just a place to come and cry when I am feeling pitty for myself and my friendlessness (if that is even a word)
I love my online friends and you all know I care dearly about you, but I want a real life friend who live in the same city I do.
I may never find this person or I may find her tomorrow but in the meantime this is my story, which has been 3 years in the making. So the story continues.

Making Friendship As An Adult Woman
Dear Future Friend,
This my little spot on the net where I can blog about my attempts at making friends as an adult stay at home mom. I keep wanting to start this blog and I keep thinking about it, so finally I am jumping in.
I want to document my attempt at making a friend like back when I was in high school. Another female to share my up and downs and that I can do the same for. If our kids are of similar age even better but not required.
I have been living in OK now for 3 years and still no BFF, so let's see if I can figure out where I am going wrong with my attempts.
