Answering An Odd Request

I guess so that the rest of the world can think I’m as nuts as my family seems to think………….

I was looking through a popular web sight and came across a want add for someone looking for a friend. I opened it and read it. It was very simple basically stating that she has lived in the area for quite a while but had no friends and was just looking for someone to talk with. I didn’t reply at first but kept thinking about it. I told my family that I thought about replying and of course I got teased.

I just kept coming back to this ad and kept thinking “who posts a want ad for a friend”. So I replied via email and we exchanged several before giving phone numbers. We talked several times on the phone for about an hour each time. She is  several years older than I but we had similar interests and each of us are kinda in the same boat as far as friends. I work all the time and have no time for socialization other than the 20 phone calls a day between my sisters. I have been feeling like my “friends” and I have just grown apart and have different interest. They still do the whole club thing and I don’t. I am more layed back and like being at home.

She was persistent about wanting to meet, so I agreed to meet her at the local mall. I called my trusty big sis and said hey wanna come with me? ( She did). I am so glad that I went. It was so much fun just walking around with no true purpose, talking adult conversation and getting to know about each other. We did female bonding. I would love to try to do this at least once a month where the ladies just get out and do nothing. I actually got to go into stores that I had never been in just because I had no purpose to go, it was great. I was gone 8 1/2 hours with no rush to be anywhere.

I look forward to my next trip. I hope sis will come too!!!!!
