Wanted and unwanted visitors

Except our parents, no one has come to visit us now we’ve moved. What our friends have against free beach vacations is beyond me, not to mention that they are missing out on hanging out with us.* And we are very fun.

But now people are starting to email me possible visit dates, which is totally exciting. Except they all want to come during the same week. And also except the fact that this other lady I kinda know, and do not like, emailed me: “Heard A was thinking of coming to visit. We’d love to tag along!” Um…uh…you smell like cigarettes and are unreliable and unpleasant and your kids like to push. And there is only so much space, you know? Plus, notably, I did not even invite you! I mean, really.

I miss my friends. I miss them, specifically, very much, and I miss having friends in general. And so does Little Girl. She’s still talking about the little six-year-old girl, here on vacation, we played with at the beach a few days last week (I guess tourists aren’t all bad). Now, when she mentions one of her old buddies, she automatically tags on, having heard me say it so much, “but she’s too far.” It’s very sad. Sigh for her, sigh for me.

* In answer to your question, yes, we could go back to visit, too. But it’s rather hard to organize what with having to find a place to stay there, arranging pet care, and scheduling it not when Husband is here nor when he is not here (we like to make things overly complicated). Should nothing go wrong, we’ll return for a visit when we have to be there anyway for the house closing.

All that said, we had a wonderfully sociable time today in Savannah visiting with other bloggers and their assorted delightful children (and one hot husband), and then enjoying some of the historic district’s highlights. It was very fun. Little Girl seemed to be under the impression it was her birthday party, actually (we went to a pancake house, and so that means I uttered the word “cake,” and she knows her birthday is coming up, so she put two and two together). Good times.
