I do realize this title could look like I'm having some type of immoral relationship but I assure you, I'm not. My life isn't that interesting.
Since having Olivia I've spent a lot of time alone. My husband and I work opposite shifts and we rarely see each other. My mother watches Olivia in between Joe leaving for work and me getting home, so the only days I see my husband is Wednesday's (my early day from work) and the weekend. After Olivia goes to bed, I either go to bed myself, do housework, read or watch TV...alone.
At work, I'm an auditor for a bank and all the work I do is 90% by myself, in my office. After a while, 14 months to be exact, things tend to get a bit lonely.
My sweet friend Jenn and I have been spending more time together lately. She is really my only friend who doesn't mind going to dinner on a Friday night, coming over and sitting alone in my living room during Olivia's bath and bed time, waiting for me to put Olivia to sleep and then spending an hour or two with me at home doing nothing. She is probably the one person who shouldn't want to do this since she's single with no children and could be out painting the town red with all of her single friends... but no.
She totally doesn't mind that our Friday night get togethers involve dinner at the closest restaurant and maybe a trip to Target down the road to make sure I am able to get Olivia home by 7:30 so I don't interrupt our bedtime routine of bath at 7:45 and bed at 8:15.
I truly enjoy spending my Friday night chatting with my friend. It's so nice to end my week with good conversation, companionship and fun!
Happy Weekend!

That's so great that you have a friend to come and spend that time with you. My Fiance always has some project or side job going so I spend a lot of time home byself. (It stinks, but he's trying to make us money so I can't complain that much). I have a friend that comes over on Tuesdays. She has a 4 year old, so for her it is a nice break and for me it is good company. I know how much I look forward to having those nights. Have fun tonight!
That's awesome that you have a friend like that! :) My favorite kinda Friday nights sound like yours. Dinner out or shopping is fun but I love to hang out at home with friends and talk to watch movies!
It's so great to have a friend like that!!! Sounds like she is a keeper!
everyone needs a friend like that. I'm so glad you've got her :-)
The importance of a good girlfriend can never be underestimated!!! Love your blog. And your baby girl is overly adorable!!
