Baby C and I went out to with her Aunt A to a sushi buffet this Saturday. I can't believe that A and I have kept in touch for nearly 10 years now after working together back in Washington, DC.
We were talking about how we've lost contact with so many old friends from work, school, or just meeting but it wasn't a fault of ours. We'd email, call or possibly write birthday notes and such and people would just disappear off the face of the earth sometimes.
Personally I try contacting someone at least 3 times, after that I usually give up and let them find me, if they so wish. I feel after that I've done my part to keep the relationship alive and it's their turn.
They're lucky they get three times, and that's only out of guilt. A while ago I was about to cast an old high school friend off, come to find out he was in remission from cancer, hence why he didn't write back! I felt sooo super duper bad. So now I just give the benefit of the doubt that they were busy the first time, lost address the second time, and have good intentions but procrastinated the third time!!!
I read someones blog the other day where they stated that if I post doesn't have pics they just skim it they don't read it!!! I know what they mean....so here are my pics from lunch this weekend, I had to dress Baby C in the same outfit again from last week as Auntie A bought it for her and I wanted her to see it in the flesh!!! (That's for those of you like me who scan every detail in a picture, you know who you are):
We went to Starbucks after Sushi to write a letter to Derrick Jeter so Auntie A could send it along with her fabulous pic of the two of them!
You are good. I usually write someone off after the 1st attempt.
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is SOOOOO cute! I LOVE her puffs!! LOL
ReplyDeletehow is it that she had a mess all over her hands and face, but didn't get ANY of it on her dress??
ReplyDeleteIs that a girl thing? I KNEW it, I need a girl!
:)
I think she didn't get any on her dress the same way when she fell down the stair she was "STILL" holding her cell phone!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThree times, huh? I guess that's enough :-). Yeah, I do the same thing. Except for Christmas cards. I give 2 years. If I don't hear from someone that I send a card to for 2 straight years, they're coming off the list :-).
ReplyDeleteCourtney is just the cutest little thing...even with a messy mouth :-).
Looks like you ladies had a nice visit together. Thanks for sharing.
OMG is Bady C getting taller? She is so cute!!
ReplyDelete3 times? That is nice of you. I'm probably that friend that procrastinates until the 3rd time. I hate that! I need to be better about stuff like that. Baby C is so stinkin cute! She reminds me of a little girl I used have when I taught pre-school...especially with the little puffs. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some CUTE ones!
ReplyDeleteThat's sad about your friend. :-( :-( No way for you to know though - at least you eventually found out. Three sounds like a fair number. I'm a little more hit or miss I guess.
And...hmmm...well I've done like 6 or 7 in a row with pictures now & then I think the six before that had no pictures. I think on mine it's just 'cause it's summer now though, so I have extra time. Then again I'm not sure what kind of picture I could have used for my one about advising people to talk to strangers on the off chance they get almost get kidnapped one day...
too cute.
ReplyDeletei usually do 3 or so as well...
maybe more if they were a good friend.

OMG--she's getting SO big!!!!
ReplyDeleteI need to sit down and go back and read all your recent entries...I've been SO bad about blogging lately! She is adorable though! :-)
Cute pics... she's totally adorable. You are good - 3 times... I will call once and leave a message - if no response... its a wrap. You went to my favorite spots....yum yum.
ReplyDeleteBaby C is growing up and growing more beautiful every day.
