Guess I should do a follow up on the skiing first off!!
It was GREAT ! We had such a fun time... It was really nice since I've never really skied with anyone except my family &/or Jamie (The ex didn't ski at all soooo I hadn't been in 10 yrs when Jamie took me the first time!)
I have to say,I really enjoyed being out with another couple.. I don't know about everyone else.. but it seems that our spare time to get together with other "grownups" is soo limited.. I guess with all the kids & their activites -- it just makes finding the time so damn difficult. & Especially with people working all sorts of different times& shift-work being more prevalent... it just adds to the difficulty.
For me, I really find working a straight eve shift has it's good points ...I get to be around to be with the kids in the AM & take them to school - & between the days they go to with their Dad ( he works shiftwork too so the days he has them fluctuates.. weird I guess for some ..but it works for our world) & the fact that Jamie works in Sales & can organize his day to be home at 2 & do office work from here when I have to go to work---the kids don't ever need daycare. So I count my self very lucky in that respect..
But on the flip side I have a lot of my day that I spend by myself... Yes I go to the Gym... (probably a good thing since when I worked out at home.. there was sooo mamy distractions... like laundry! ~lol) But for me even going to the gym is a solitary event.. I go .. do my thing & leave.. - yes I'll smile & say the odd "Hi" -but it's really not forming a friendship now is it??
& I have a couple girlfriends that I've made through the kids - but even them as I said we hook up once in a while at best...
Other than that, I really only ever spend my non-work spare time with the kids & /or Jamie.. I say or 'cause we get days with no kids at times.. which is nice - we look at it as the time we lost when we "should" have been together!
But I wonder some times if I'm entirely too dependant on him... I can honestly say that he's my best friend..that given a choice I'd want to spend all my time with him. But does that make me pathetic?? Am I expecting him to be the be all & end all in my world? ... make up for all the time I feel lonely... I dunno
Thoughts for the day I guess....

Sometimes I think of Russ as my best friend, but I feel that I do need girl time...which I don't get enough of. I just don't have many friends other than the internet. That bums me.
BTW....looking forward to the possibility of meeting you and/or skiing with you in March. That would be fun! How far are you from Whistler?
Stef :-)
Thanks Stef.. It's nice to know I'm not alone feeling this way.. :)
I swear.. we should all try to get together some day & just hang out!.. wouldn't that be cool?!
As to March.. sounds like a go! wejust need to know the date..so we can plan Jamie is so agreeable I know I just have to say make it happen - & he will~... of course ANY excuse to go skiing is fine by him! ~lol ;)

My fiance and I are much the same way. We're best friends and don't do many things with other adults. In fact, we're so 'into' each other that when we do get around other people they tend to feel excluded via our quirky humor that no one else seems to get or our inside jokes.
No - it's not pathetic. It's how it should be I think. Your partner should be the one person who 'gets' you.
Though we ARE try to get out a little more often. :)
Thanks you guys, you make me feel almost normal! ( yea.. Almost! lol)
& ALL of us goin skiing sounds great! :) WOOO HOO! :)
