I always forget to read my comments. Heh. Am I supposed to reply to them, like it's a message board? LOL I'm clueless.

Tonight is Mackenzie's last ball game. They won their game on Tuesday, 24-23. It was so close! What a great game, though. That team is a good one to play. Actually all the teams are except for one. They are really good (they didn't lose a single game), but they're snooty about it. I was so glad to finish the last game against them. :)

I called Amy today to tell her about a family reunion and about our great-grandmother, and we ended up talking for almost two hours! We haven't really talked like that in forever, almost a year now I guess. It was easy though, we used to talk on the phone for hours all the time. I can't call her too too often though, it's long-distance. Heh.

Mom came by, she wants me to drive her to Dyersburg on Monday. I told her I couldn't. I wouldn't mind going and seeing Grandma, but my radiator acts up sometimes, and I don't know if I'll have gas money anyway. We have quite a bit of bills to pay this weekend (none of which she's offered to pitch in for, including an almost $200 electric bill).

An old friend of mine dropped by the forum yesterday. I was shocked to see her. We used to be really close friends. We originally met on a forum for younger parents, then we ended up starting HerTime together. We talked on the phone all.the.time, and we even met in person a couple of times. Then after Shelby was born she kind of slacked off on the phone calls. She and her husband moved a lot and I didn't have contact information for her a lot of time. Then they finally moved back to their hometown and she still wasn't getting in touch with me that much. I often felt that I had put more into our friendship than she had. I mean, she would never call me back when she said she would, she didn't return emails, she just was generally inconsiderate in a lot of ways. I wrote her a few letters, sent pictures of Shelby and stuff and never got a response. Finally, at Christmas that year, I sent her a Christmas card with a letter that basically told her how I felt. I told her that I was tired of basically having a friendship with myself, because I was the only one doing anything. I mean, I didn't expect that we'd talk on the phone daily and email once a week or anything. But a few months after you've written a letter you kind of expect SOME type of response, whether it's a letter in return or a quick phone call or something. So I haven't been in touch with her since that time. I guess it pissed her off, since she never attempted to apologize or get back in touch with me.

She's posting at the old parents forum and we posted back and forth a little bit but it's kind of strained. Or maybe I'm just expecting it to be strained and am reading into it. She hasn't mentioned our last correspondence. Heh. It's weird, "seeing" her again.

Well, I'm out of stuff to talk about for one day. I think of all these things I want to type out in my blog, but when I sit down to do it my mind goes blank. Figures, huh?
