"Is there an upside to having no social life?"

[sprinkleeninow]

7. Hi, dear heart!

I like being by me, myself and I.

I did all that in my earlier social flutterby days, and now I'm selective in where I go and why.

Way back, husband's family of his mom and two aunts, one would have Christmas Eve and one of the others Christmas Day dinner. The third one would have the whole crew over between Christmas and New Year's for another humongous Christmas like dinner. They all made hundreds of different cookies, and even with shipping us off to go home with food and cookies, we'd be treated to those cookies into February. Ai yi yi! Enuff is enuff!

We loved each other, but one year we had fancy hors d'ourves Christmas Eve instead of the gigantic Swedish smorgasbord (yikes), and changed Christmas Day to just go visiting. No over-stuffing on roast dinner with too many trimmings.

It got ridiculous. I had family too, and everyone wanted you at their place.

Now we have no family here, only a few friends and acquaintances. And I don't mind!
