My best friend and I are growing apart. I feel pretty bummed about it even though I've been complaining about her for months.

Sorry that you are sad but it certainly seems like it’s for the best and quite a while coming. If the friendship is meant to last you two may reconnect at a later time. It could be in 5, 10, or 20 years. Who knows? But for now it sounds like it’s best for you to let go and move on.

I had planned to take the day off today and go to the Brooklyn Museum and then lounge on the grass and soak up the sun in Prospect Park. But I changed my mind when I woke up this morning and it was cloudy. It looks like more of the same tomorrow so Friday is looking like it will be the perfect weather even though I try to keep Friday and Monday call outs to a minimum. Sometimes you just want to do weekend activities during the week without all the people. I'm kind of excited and then maybe the sis and I will have a sleep over. I'm not sure yet though. I kind of want to be alone for a whole weekend since the last 2 weekends I've had stuff to do.

Sounds like a lot of fun! Enjoy yourself!

Home today relaxing on the couch for a bit. I will be heading out in a few to go to the museum and do some meditation in the park. I'm hoping the grass isn't wet, otherwise I'll just head home after the museum.

My sister texted me about thebgirls night sleepover and the woman is so excited telling me what snacks she has, what we can have for breakfast and the pajamas she's wearing and she hope's my apartment is cool. Lol Her excitement was contagious so we invited Mommy and the 3 of us will be hanging out tonight. I already got the few new episodes of Claws queued up, the board games out and blankets and floor pillows piled in the living room.

That sounds like so much fun. I've always wanted to do this with my fam but ugggh...

I hope you have a great time!
 
@BrownBetty these things are never without incident. I'm optimistic but I already pictured some things that were promised would not be happening. And as expected it is almost 9pm and ain't nobody here or on their way which means for sure 1 of the things we were gonna do we can't do anymore. Lol But I'm brushing it off. Let's see how the rest of the night goes.

I hope you had fun last night!
 
Had a great time last night. My mother didn't come but she came over for breakfast this morning. I wasn't surprised by that. Me and my sis talked, watched Claws and played this game called Accentuate. I got a sample piece of this game when I bought one of my other games. It was so hilarious and fun that I think I want to buy the complete game! So you read a movie quote off the card in your regular voice. Then you pick an accent from the list (or any accent - we started making up accents not on the list) and say the quote again and the other person/team has to guess the accent. Bonus points if you guess the line of the movie, who said it in the movie, year and/or director. Only thing is, this definitely has the potential for some racist stereotypes so this game will be played with family and super close friends only. :lachen::lachen:

Lastly, I just have to mention...my sister is rather messy but always have something to say about how my place should be or could be...Usually I'm like :rolleyes: but last night my eyes almost rolled to the back of my head and stayed there. Lol Here's why:

I have a little floor carpet thingy for when I get out of the shower and yesterday I accidentally soaked my bathroom floor while cleaning so the carpet thingy got soaked too. I put it in the hallway to air dry before throwing it in the laundry to avoid a gross mildew smell. My sister kept complaining how it was wet and it shouldn't be in the hallway and she would do xyz with it. I ignored her.

Y'all later on I go in my room and there's like little pieces of toilet paper on the floor. I asked what it was. She said it fell out of her ears (because she sleeps with toilet paper in her ears for whatever reason:lachen:) But I was like soooooo you drop toilet paper on the floor in my room and you just leave it there?? Like you outside in a park somewhere? But you got a whole lotta mouth about an air drying wet carpet? I couldn't help but :rolleyes: then laugh my butt off. I said to her I'm not taking advice from someone who can't throw ear TP in the garbage and we both bust out laughing. She know she got nerve. And after I was like but no seriously pick this damn toilet paper up off my floor right now :look:

I’m glad you had fun and I’m glad you ladies were able to laugh about it! It was cool your mother came to the breakfast.
 
I got to the movies from time to time with a gf. Initially she should buy the tickets and I would pay for the food/drinks. That was all well and good until I realized drinks/food were coming to ~$90 vs $56 for our tickets. The majority of the bill would be her drinks/food.
After a couple times of that I would give her cash. Ticket is $28.

The last time we were out. I handed her cash for the ticket. She told me to keep it. I told her no, just put it towards the bill. We get the bill after the movie. I hand my card over to split the check and she just hands it over to the waitress. I asked if she added any cash. She said "no, I told you to keep the money" . No ma'am. She threw in some cash.

Now I'm not nit picky. I wouldn't mind alternating paying for food/drinks when we went to the movies or just doing a split. We aren't going to the movies for a while, nothing we want to see but I will gauge the next situation.

Girrrrlll.... what movie theater y'all going to that charges $28 for a movie ticket? Let me know so I make sure to neverrrrr go there.
 
@BrownBetty I had to read that 3 times to understand :drunk:

So she took your ticket money *and* tried to make you pay for all the food too? And her reasoning was, well, I told you to keep your money? BUT SHE STILL TOOK IT?

I know. I was staring at her like "girl what?". We've been friends for years, go out regularly, so I was confused by this.

This is why I'm slowly getting rid of people in my life. My BFF is mad at me because I didn't call her fast enough to say happy bday. I was out of the country on her bday and she was too. I got back in town in the evening and went to work the next day. While I'm at work I got a snotty text from her saying shes feeling some type of way because I haven't called to say hbd and "well, I hope I enjoyed your trip." Biiish whet? I sent her back lol emojis because I just knew she couldn't be serious. I apologized and told her i'm still getting my bearings and she still had a tude. Then I told her to cut it out because I would never deliberately not call her for her bday. I really don't see what her problem is and for the fact that she's in her late 30s I really don't GAF.
 
@Browndilocks some people are really funny about birthdays. It like means sooo much to them to get a call on that day. Otherwise they take such offense. I don’t really get it because I’m not like that. If I get a call or text within a few days of my birthday I’m happy. For some people I think a missed or late birthday greeting is triggering. Maybe something from their childhood? Or they don’t have very many other people who remember? Idk. That said I can’t imagine having an attitude with someone about it.
 
Thanks @hopeful. The only one I personally always expect to acknowledge my birthday is my man. Let me give you more perspective. For her birthday, she was in Colombia and I was in Cuba. We spoke before we left and I even told her to enjoy her bday. I'm offended because I've always been supportive of any and everything she does yet she chooses to have an attitude about this. I start to question why I make people feel like they can have such expectations of me. Also her bday was Saturday and I got back on Wednesday.
 
I have a therapy appointment scheduled for 2 weeks from now. This man's schedule is so busy I have decided I will be scheduling my appointments in advance which I wasn't doing before because I was going on an as needed basis since I had another therapist. My relationship with that one has come to its end (for good this time) and I would like to see my new one more often but not on a weekly basis.
