People who think free speech is synonymous with freedom from consequence make me tired.

This. THIS! Sure, say whatever you want, just be prepared to deal with what happens after, including being publicly outed and shamed if you're a creepy troll who posts upskirt photos of minors.

omg sara is the smartest. exactly THAT.

I think my Saturday of having friends come over and have adult time is gonna be lame and may not even happen. The people I texted asking if mac could hang with them for a while never got back with me. I am so miffed that we ask and have people over like 4 times more than ever ask to have mac over. I know they all just go and do a lot more as families and/or have multiple kids, so having playmates over is not really something they think about as we do. So I end up asking people if he can come over which is exhausting and makes me feel like the neediest needy moocher ever. ANd of course if he is here he will not hang in his room. I am just gonna get all whiny. It's been like 3 months of talking about getting together to even have this half-assed Sat morning/early afternoon thing AT MY HOUSE not even a thing. depressed.

We are hoping to see the shuttle this weekend, if we can get our act together.

msbelle, I so share the guilty feelings about asking people to host my kids for play dates, but then I think that there's no reason to feel guilty. I mean, I'm happy to host kids here when I can, and my sitter is happy to host play dates too. So if I don't mind, why am I so convinced my friends will consider it an imposition? Doesn't make sense.

Not hearing back from folks is a drag, no doubt, but don't add feelings of guilt on top of that.

Bah, msbelle. Good for you for calling and asking people about him going over there. I know it's not at all the same thing, but basically everyone I know here has a boyfriend, so I feel like I'm always the one who has to see if they want to hang out, and then it's a random weekday. Not that I want to be anywhere but here right now, don't get me wrong.

MmmHMMM.

If it's any consolation, your cute puppy and kitten on the Good Stuff already has 400 notes, and I think is the reason for the bunch of new followers just now.

My guilt is because they really never ask me to watch their kids. When we have playmates here, we have extended the invitation 95% of the time. It is just never reciprocated.

I would just like a small social life and I don't have one or the energy it seems it would require for me to have any semblance of one.

yeah I just cancelled.

I think some guy who answered a work tech support call (one for form--I needed to create a ticket through our third party help desk so the guy one row over could officially do something for me) just sent me a connect request on LinkedIn. There's no other reason some guy I've never met, but with that resume is looking in my direction.

How freaking creepy.

All the other boys, they try to bathe me, but here's my number, so call me maybe...

Okay, is Mindy Kaling always annoying?
