It's been awhile since I've been to CF. As you may know, my husband is military and we've just recently moved from California to Maryland. I've been living in other peope's houses for a month. I went to visit a friend for 2 weeks in Montana and then I drove to Alabama and stayed with my mom for 2 weeks and now we're in Maryland but we're still not in our house! We're in temporary housing until our unit is ready. I can't wait to get my stuff back and live in my own house and have my own space. I've been going crazy.
I went to an interview on Friday but I think they're looking for someone with more experience than I have. I have a bachelors in psych but that isn't enough for anything. I am going to have to go back for my masters at least. But I knew that. I'd always planned on going back. So right now I'm gonna be working at Target again (I started in Cali and I'm transfering). It's nice to have something to fall back on. Target is a good company to work for; I just hope the managers are better here than they were in California. They were so bad over there & their HR department was rediculous. I miss some of my coworkers though. They were pretty awesome.
So, I never did explain what I meant in my last post. My friend Nicole; the one that I've been on the rocks with for awhile, and I are friends again. It's taken awhile but we're talking on a regular basis now. I've missed her. Despite our differences she's one of the only friends I've had that's really made an effort to be my friend; you know calls me, emails, makes plans to hang out instead of waiting for me to do all the talking and planning. We are SO different now, but she is still such a good friend. I think a lot of the problems we had before was because of her previous boyfriend. He was so degrading and always made her feel like she wasn't good enough and I think she started taking that out on other people. Not that that makes it ok, it wasn't ok, but I can understand now why she was acting the way she was. I'm glad she's not with him anymore.
While we're on the topic of friends... There's a girl that I was really good friends with in college; Erin. She's getting married soon. She didn't ask me to be in her wedding earlier because she knew I'd be in California and wouldn't be able to make it, well we moved to Maryland which is a lot closer. When we got our orders for Maryland I called her to let her know that I would indeed be able to make it to her wedding. When she found that out she asked if I would be a bridesmaid. I said of course! She said her mom was paying for the dresses and that someone was making them for her. (if I remember correctly she only had 2 other bridesmaids) She said she would send me the form so I could fill in my measurements. I gave her my address and then never heard anything more about it. This was back in June.
...fast forward to these past couple of weeks in August... I have family in Alabama and that is also where Erin lives. I went to visit for a couple weeks during the time we were in the process of moving from Cali to Alabama. Erin and I emailed back and forth, she invited me to come stay the night with her sometime so we could catch up. We set a date for the following week. Well, the week goes by and I email her and call (her cell didn't work) and ask her for her address so I can find the place and she never responded! This was all during the last week of August and I still haven't heard from her.
Not only that, but in our emails I asked her if I was still in her wedding because I had never recieved the form to give her my measurements. She would write me back but she never answered that question. And I still haven't heard from her. Not one word. Her wedding is next month. So I guess I'm not in it. I'm so upset about the whole thing; not that I'm not in her wedding, because I told her I would go to it regardless... But I'm upset that she asked me to be in it and then never sent me the form (I don't know what measurements to give because the dresses were being made, otherwise I would've just given them to her). It's like she just uninvited me to be in her wedding, but never actually said it. She's just not telling me anything. She hasn't spoken to me in 3 and a half weeks. I just don't want to even go to her wedding anymore. It's very hurtful.
She used to do this kind of thing all the time; make plans and then when she realized that she couldn't make it or didn't want to go she would just not show up or not call if she didn't want to go instead of just telling me "let's reschedule" or "now that I think of it I have other plans" or "I just don't feel like going today, another time?"... she always just pretends we never had plans. It's so frustrating and I don't even want to deal with it anymore. And now she's probably avoiding me because she realized that her mom doesn't have the money for another dress (I offered to pay when she first asked me), or the lady doesn't have time to make another dress, but instead of just telling me "hey I'm sorry, I should've checked first" she just doesn't say anything and pretends she never even asked me. She hasn't said a word about me being in her wedding since JUNE! What am I supposed to think? GRRRRRRRRRR
Ok vent over. I just needed to get that off my chest.
I'm really enjoying Maryland. There is so much to do around here. I'm so close to Baltimore, Annapolis, DC and even NewYork! There are a lot of hiking and biking areas and my husband and I are trying to be more active so that's awesome that that stuff is available to us here. My dad is also close to us and he loves to bike.
My brother and best friend from MT are coming to visit us for Thanksgiving. I'm so excited!!! My friend and I love theater so we're gonna go see Equus on broadway! I'm stoked!!! It's gonna be so much fun, i can't wait.
