How Hard could it be!!???!!!

I have moved several times in my life...and those of you who know me, know that I make friends pretty easily. It seems that as soon as I find a good healthy circle of friends (I have to say healthy because those of you who have moved to a new neighborhood know that just when you think you really like the lady a few doors down she turns out to be crazy...ya know the type...the more you get to know her the more you wish you hadn't)...well anyway just as you build your circle it is time to move. Inevitably, with the best intentions..mind you, we promise to keep in touch with this wonderful dynamic group of people.....and we don't. Sure we call for a couple of months....then once a year...then on occasional holidays until you forget to transfer all the phone numbers to your new cell phone or address book. Come on ladies.....you know what I'm talking about here.....admit it. Well I got good news and bad news...technology has made it so much easier to keep in touch with the great friends of the past and harder to run from the crazy lady you thought you finally escaped. She can find you on myspace or facebook if not by searches, then by seeing your smiling mug on a good friends page. Hence the turtles on my profile. I must take a moment to clarify something..please bear with me....my very good friend Andrea...you know who you are....being able to keep in touch with you via internet has been, truly, great. Now that Andrea doesn't think she is the crazy lady I was trying to avoid, I will continue. Actually it is because of Andrea that I write this post. Why is it that we let our friends slip away into that black hole of lost faces and numbers? How hard could it be just to drop a line via internet or OMG, by phone...hey, we still use those right? Ya..ya.. I have heard and have used the same old excuses...."it's long distance"....uh.. ya.. ok.. who pays long distance charges these days...."well I just don't have time to get into a long conversation"...bite the bullet have the conversation then call more often like when you have a few minutes before going to the grocery store or something!...anything!.. just to stay in touch... and my favorite....."oh, I don't want to email it is so impersonal"...blah...blah..blah....well poppy!... cock! Every time I read an email from my friend Andrea I can hear her voice and visualize her facial expressions....don't deny it.....you gals out there do the same thing. Turns out its not that hard...... ;)
