I broke my cup holder in the car. I know, it seems hard to break a cup holder, but I did. I'm special like that. So here I sit at the dealership, getting it fixed. They have wireless-bonus.
Tonight I'm going over to a friend's house after work. I don't do that enough. She's only about a mile from my workplace and I have a few hours to kill every Tuesday after work. I just usually run errands. So, I'm making an effort to do errands on alternate weeks and visit her a few times/month. Otherwise, we just rarely see eachother.
Do you have any friends you'd like to make more time for?

Yes, several. I finally spent a weekend with them back in October. There is also another one who I try to call about once per month. I think it's time for me to call her.
IRL, I do as well. I just spoke with a really good neighbor friend last night. I drove past her house and called her because I wanted to heckle her about still having Christmas lights up. We are making some lunch and/or scrapbooking plans.
There is also my other neighbor who I've been trying to get together with for about six months.
There's my good friend who abandoned me at the gift wrapping booth.
I hate that life is so busy that you have to actually schedule friend time. I can't wait until I win the lottery and no longer have this problem.
Sorry about your cupholder. I'm trying to visualize this.
I'm always afraid that my car cupholder is going to break. It's a very flimsy design and I rarely use it. When I was researching the car the only negative comment people made on it was the bad cupholders, and they were right.
I have a lot of friends that I should make more time for. I have issues, though, contacting them because I always think I'm bothering them. Mr. Fro thinks I'm a moron for thinking that way, but I can't help it.
My new year's resolution for many years running now is to be a better friend, and I'm just never very good about keeping it. :(
LOL-Do we have the same car, Fro? That was also a "red flag" during our research!
Call a friend this week, everyone! Sounds like Boo has already done that, even if it was to heckle. :-)
I have fine, robust cupholders so I can't imagine the level of abuse you must have inflicted on the poor, helpless receptacle to break it!
I have an old college friend who I found out a couple of years ago has lived in MN almost as long as I have. We got together a few times but the old magic wasn't there. I keep thinking maybe I should try again. But I don't want to be a bother, lol.
Aww, I'm glad you're making some time for you and friends. That's important.
As for me, I've just sucked ass lately, lol. Working has almost completely eliminated my computer time, which has limited the time I have gotten to spend with some of my favorite people. :(
I need to *make* the time and catch up!
Funny thing about cup holders.
When Michael drove this truck, he actually ordered a special dealer issued cupholder for the console. I use it, and I like it for my big water bottle.
I also have two that pull out from the dash. And then two that pull out from the back of the console for the back seat. And Conner has one that pulls out of his car seat.
I remember when I bought my Corsica years ago. The salesman actually used the cup holder as a selling point, which Michael thought was absurd. Considering I had had to use my legs in my first car, I was happy to have a cupholder.
I definitely need to make more time for my best friend from high school. She is the only person I have kept in touch with, but over the past few years we've talked less and less. I think I'll try and plan a night out for next weekend. Thanks for the reminder. :)
Swami, I have a few friends I've lost the "magic" with. It's sad and it's hard to make the effort decision.
Yes, but they all live in the States :)
*sigh* With the new job I have FAR much less time to spend with my friends. Both here and IRL. It makes me sad.
I should post the story of my locking the keys in the jeep. It involves a cupholder.
And I need some people to move to the West Coast.
I have no friends so I don't have to worry about calling anybody! :D
Really, over the years, my friends and I mostly lost touch with each other. It's at the point where it would be awkward to even call them. I don't mind. *shrug*
But you have us Nutzie! *grins engagingly*
I think it is harder to make friends the older you get, and the attrition rate for friends never really goes down (we lose them to moves, new jobs, changing interests, etc.) That is part of my wanting to do three new things that are at least semi-social this year. To make a new friend or maybe even two.
I'd like to renew acquaintances with old friends from high school and college.
It's cute that Conner has his own cupholder on his carseat.
I've been having lots of friend time lately. We have girls weekend at my house with my best friend and my sister. I think since they both have married boyfriends *ick then I'm their boredom relief on most weekends.
Since Rob has been home I've had to put out the "No Vacancy" sign. :)
