Admire the talent and humor. Paul will be in touch with you for some grahic design consultation. Evidently this humor? thing runs in the family. Keep up the good work, my love to Chris and the kids. Will check in again soon. Love, Aunt Eva Hi

Yes indeedy. bibliotecaria, you're spot on. I'm looking forward to the next gathering where I let myself shut the hell up and enjoy the comfort of the shallow end. Kate, I know. I so know. Dude. We so need to learn to shut it up. Toni, I don't get it. You should totally sniff your pits when it's happening...but also know that maybe they're just not very nice people, and you won't have to deal with their bullshit either. Still sucks.

Anything above carpooling gets weird stares. And I've sat in the coffee shop while a gaggle of them hangs out and never get an invite to join them. It's so weird. And I'm super-social, too. I try haI try hard not to sniff my pits while it's happening. I’ve had the same experiences here talking w/the stay-at-home moms at my kids’ preschool. Anything above carpooling gets weird stares.

I'd just add that you don't want to rush into deeper waters with people you've just met. Superficial gives everyone a chance to relax a little before trying to go deep. Besides, it sounds like this is an established group and you're the new girl, so the group dynamics have to change a little before you "fit."

So welcoming and so happy to finally meet us (likewise) and really I know it's just a case of me trying too damned hard. And I'll get over it, and we'll hang together again, and it will be fine and good. And yes, he did appreciate it. He was bowled over that I wanted to go, given the day I had. Thanks Becca. You rawk.
