I am not serious about much, but I feel seriously blessed by my friends, and since I'm not all that spiritual, that's a pretty strong statement. My strongest friends are women -- I have 5 friends who I have known since college, about 10-13 years, and we are still friends. Like, hang out all the time, motherhood was just another life phase, I would take you to the psych ward and still love you friends. I have also many guy friends from that time period, who are either married to my friends, or who have married women who have become true friends.
I have 8 women who I know would rush into a burning building to save me, and vice versa. The guys? 1 would -- he's the closest thing I have to a brother. The others would try, but it's not as close as the women.
I am amazingly lucky. And yeah, I do know how lucky I am, and how rare it is, and I am very, very thankful for them.
I think that's why I don't have a problem with not having a significant other -- I have AMAZING friends. They fulfill all of my emotional needs and the occasional hook up fulfills my physical needs. I can even get the occasional cuddle when needed.
Well, huh. Apparently, I'm also allergic to fake Christmas trees. My hands have completely broken out. Time for some Benedryl.
No more allergies for vw, you have more than enough. How does the tree look?
vw, putting up the fake tree always irritates my hands. It goes away much faster than the respiratory allergies I get from the real trees, though.

Not too bad for a little four-footer: [link] and [link]

Good to know. I don't remember this happening before, but I'm not known for my fabulous memory.
I envy the bug's tree. I don't think we're having one this year.

Awwww...I'm sorry! I wasn't going to do mine, but decided to bring the stuff home today from mom and dad's. Then, with it sitting in my living room, I just couldn't leave it in the boxes. It spoke to me.
Or I may have not wanted to do schoolwork.
vw, that's the cutest tree! I love the ribbon.
I'm not having a tree this year. I gave my good fake to my daughter, along with all the ornaments. She gets more of a kick out of it than I do. I often wondered why my mother gave up having a tree, I just couldn't understand that. Now, I do. I just think it's more work than I want to deal with. But, if others want a tree, that's great; I can still enjoy the pretty!
