Thank you, hotmail.

What does it say about me when one of my dearest friends and I only talk about 3 times a year on the phone? We hardly ever visit in person due to geographical location, kids making travel tricky and lack if cash making travel impossible. She called this morning and it sort of made me wonder... Maybe I'm a great friend-from-afar. Maybe it's easier to put up with me just a little rather than on a daily-weekly-monthly basis. Or, maybe, since we are the pick-up-where-we-left-off kind of friends, it's because we are both phone-haters. I don't know why/how that happened for me, since my sister and mother can attest to the hours upon hours I spent on the phone with my friend Kelly talking about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when I was about 13 yrs old or so. (Really, how DOES that happen? We went to the same school and had practically all our classes together? I must have had a lot more going on then than I do now, I have NO IDEA what I'd say on the phone to anyone I spent all day with.) But fast forward to now, it's all I can do to pick up the phone and arrange a play date or call my inlaws (who I really love). And these are people I genuinely like and care for. If it weren't for email, I'm sure there are those who would doubt my continued existance on this planet.
