Figured I’d show you my new purse. Its Nine West, via Marshalls. I’ve actually had it a couple months, but never got around to switching purses (I usually stick to one main purse at a time). I made the transfer before heading to LA, and really like this purse. It hold a fair amount of stuff and looks sharp.
And now time for a rant about feeling disconnected:
Not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but despite all the phone/email/text/facebook connections, I feel completly disconnected and quite frankly a little hurt sometimes.
Today I found out that an old friend of mine is pregnant. On facebook. Understandably, we’ve grown apart some in the last couple of years: she lives in Miami – I live in Houston. But we were great friends throughout high school and college. She is the person that moved me out to Texas. And I find out that she is pregnant on facebook?
It wouldn't hurt if it was just her, but this is the third person that this has happened with. Either I’m a much worse friend than I thought with keeping in touch, or people just don’t feel like sharing this information in a personal way. I don’t know, but it actually kind of hurts my feelings. I mean, that is BIG BIG news, right?
I felt unimportant finding out through ominous comments by family members on facebook pages.
Maybe I’m placing too much importance on them telling me? I mean, I’m not the person that is pregnant, so obviously they have a lot on thier minds and telling me isn't top priority. I get that. But, I don’t know, it feels not-good.
Thought I’d throw that out there..I’m having a moment.
Lucky for me – I’ll be on vacation in a couple hours and this moment should be swept away very soon. Hope to rejoin with a renewed sense of "ahhhhhhhh"

Girl I FEEL YOU.
ReplyDeleteI found out one of my "close" friends had a baby via flickr I DIDN"T KNOW SHE WAS PREGNANT!!!! I found out my cousin my only cousin on that side of the family got married via facebook.
oh and she lives about 5 miles away.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. My cousin, who lives THREE HOUSES DOWN from me, is pregnant. I found out because I saw someone write something on her facebook wall that said something about "the one on the way" or something like that. She was probably 5 months when I learned this.
ReplyDeleteOur family is close even though the two of us aren't super close (no bad blood or anything, we're just in very different life stages I guess), but I was still really surprised that this is how I found out.
Hey cutie! I just wanted to let you know that the 'Year in Yes' 2010 calendar is officially for sale now, if you're still keen! Thanks for making Yes and Yes part of your day ;)
ReplyDeleteSheesh, at least I'm not the only one!! Maybe everyone is just letting flicker/facebook/etc...replace normal conversations?
ReplyDelete5 miles and 3 houses down STINKS. At least I can say the folks of my rant live in other states.
Year in Yes calendar...yes please!
