I was going to write this attempted witty little post about the things I’ve had to get used to since moving to Eugene. But this cropped up in the meantime and since my feelings are now hurting, I have to write about this. Maybe I’ll do the other later, we’ll see.
Today my new friend made calls to everyone in the house (well, not everyone, my sister, my husband, and me). She asked everyone to go swimming at this great swimming hole. Except me. She asked me if she could come over and pick up her swimming suit.
She is the kindest, sweetest person, so there was no ill intent. She simply knew that I’d say no because you have to kind of hike into the place, there is nowhere comfy to sit down, and they would be there most of the day.
I’ll never be used to this, not in Boise, not in Eugene, not anywhere.
Maybe I’ll go sit in my dog’s kiddie pool (once it’s been drained and re-filled of course).
Well that's the crapper right there! I always am offende when D's parents don't invite me to go hiking....not that I want to hike or even spend time with them, but it's nice to feel like you are included someway!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the doggy pool, if we were closer we could go lay on my trampoline and put a sprinkler under it.
Thank you for understanding (as always). And the sprinkler under the trampoline idea sounds just wonderful!
