reconnecting

I got to meet up with a family friend who I haven't seen in ages and meet her 13 year old daughter. The friend is quite a bit older than me. Although I do have friends nearer my age who are mothers. But it was nice to see her and her daughter. I was sad I missed the husband. But he was at work. (Please don't read anything disturbing into that, it's just I haven't seen him in forever and he happened to be at work when I came over.) Apparently he now works for apple. I approve. She's still teaching drama. Their cats are lovely and their daughter is the cutest thing ever. She makes me want to have children-she's that cute. I don't want children ever and she was making me want a daughter.

It was fun to see her though. I probably haven't seen her for five years or so. I'm not sure. I know I saw them at their wedding. But I think we ran into them after that once or twice but not for a long period of time. But it was nice to catch up. She didn't recognize me at first. I went over there to give them a present my parents had intended to give them when their baby was first born (they since had to return the present and get a new one since my parents took so long and I was bringing over the new present) so she wasn't expecting me and didn't recognize me at all. I'm a bit taller, look older and have darker hair so it's fair.

Her daughter is so mobile. Just took her first steps and is moving all over the place. She seems like a really happy baby. So cute. Even though she was sick she was dancing and playing. I loved it.

It's nice to reconnect with people. I wish I could reconnect with so many people. I'm bad at staying in touch. I learned it from my parents who are no good at it. I want to be better. I wish there was a way to train yourself.
