Bob update
My arms hurt from 1/2 an hour with a personal trainer on Wednesday. This is good.
I got a picture with Monsty yesterday!
I got a picture with Monsty yesterday!
Monsty hasn't sent me a t-shirt address yet. Should I tell her that or does she hate me with the fury of 876 suns and this is her subtle way of letting me know?
I miss Mr Bob.
Cooking so much easier without Mr Bob.
I am shamelessly bugging my friends to hang out with me. Some people may not have even know they were my friends.
Mr Bob is carefully not talking about me at work and NEVER refers to me by name. He finds this difficult, as he says he always talks about me and he doesn't like referring to me as "my wife".
I really, really need to work on my research proposal this weekend.
I love cofffffffeeeeeee!
Semi-serious update: Sometimes, it is worth it to "put yourself out there". People talk about that for dating and love lives, but it's also applicable to friendships. It's difficult in some ways to issue invitations but I do think it's worth it. Since moving to Boston, I have been much better at persuing people. I have invited people over for dinner and out for coffee and invited myself over to their houses. While I don't want to be some pushy/needy/pathetical clinger-on, I decided I would rather be thought of as slightly pathetical if it meant I wasn't sitting at home every evening. It's a trade off I'm willing to make.
So due to my willingness to be a tad more aggresive I have plans this weekend for Friday and Sunday (and just for the record, these were invites I didn't actually grovel for (this time). These were just from people where I made the first move).

I want a personal trainer.
So, when are you going to post the pic????
When are you going see Mr. Bob?
Why isn't he mentioning you at work?
Personal trainer was a one shot deal with my super expensive gym.
I will post the pic now.
I will see Mr Bob the first week in August.
I'm applying to a job at the university Mr Bob works at. A bunch of people know I exist, but some don't (or are pretending not to know) so Mr Bob is avoiding discussing me. I also have a very unusual first name, so if he mentioned me by name I would be remembered when the resume came through (Mr Bob and I have different last names)
Well look at how adorable you are!
*platonic swoon*
Good for you for putting yourself out there. I know it's not easy, but I bet it's not "easy" for most people, not just you (or me). They probably love it when someone else does the inviting.
I have been thinking about this a certain amount. I also read an interesting article on how the body responds to social rejection. There is a phyical response similiar to pain and it leads people to avoid rejection at all cost.
There was bit of speculation on how society has changed (we meet thousands of people rather than dozens) since our bodies evolved the rejection response and how it leads to isolation due to all the strangers we have to interact with.
Anyhow, it sorta helps to realise that fear of rejection is ingrained and universal. Once I recognise that, it actually is easier to deal with.
What are you eating in the picture and why aren't you sharing some with me?
How the heck did you not get an address? I know I assigned you someone. I will resend the email again.
PS I really do want to meet you. Soon, okay?
Hi Bob. This really hit home with me today. In the middle of my "alone time" at home, I woke up this morning realizing it was quite possible I could go four full days without speaking in person to another live human, and it kind of made me panicky!
So I tried something. I sent out an invitation to all the people I know from tennis to go out Saturday night - about 30 people. Nobody has taken me up on the offer yet, but maybe karma liked that I asked because a friend called me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to do something tonight.
And you? Are without question the cutest Bob I've ever known! My Uncle Bob might be offended to learn this, but oh well.
Yeah!
I got an address!
*cackle*
cute Bob out!
What a cute pic of you!
Monsty seems to have a real shine to her skin.
