Jumping on the bandwagon...

Welcome to my blog! 

Recently it seems many people are joining this world of blogging, so I decided, why not? My good friend Martha and her cousin Madge both have excellent blogs of which I read regularly. (As well as Dlisted....)

 

I've decided to start with something I have been thinking about often the past couple of weeks- do you really know your friends/boyfriend/girlfriend/or whoever it may be as well as you think you do? 

.....probably not. It is quite surprising actually how different the people you think you know can turn out to be. It could be a good thing, but in the majority of my experiences with these types of situations it is not. It is only normal to go into a relationship (friendship, romantically, or whatever) thinking someone is exactly who they say they are, I mean why in the world would anyone portray themselves as someone else!? Well... WATCH OUT. There are people out there who actually do that kind of thing. You might think you know someone and four months later, or even three years later they turn out to be someone totally different and for sure not the kind of person you wanted to invest that much time in to. But fear not, you can avoid this for the most part by watching your back and removing yourself from the situation at the first sign of faulty behavior. Don't get me wrong, people do of course make mistakes. But mistake after mistake, apology after apology = very bad sign. If they talk the talk and don't walk the walk, BAD NEWS BEARS. So be careful, keep your guard up until you know just what kind of person you're dealing with. 

And another thing, thumbs down to the person who said "keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer", BAD IDEA. You don't want your enemies all up in your business, at least I don't!!

Anyway, today is the day we celebrate Rachael's birthday so I need to take a nap before we start the festivities. 

Until next time,
