Today, I had the opportunity to get to know B a little better. This made me realize something.
Anyone will tell you I'm not really into socializing. There's something about inane chatter that bothers me. It is so pointless. Thus, inserting myself into situations where such things as the weather and weekend plans are discussed, irritates me to no end. Mostly because I suck at it.
I devised a strategy while attending post-secondary education to get around the necessity of social instigation. I found myself the biggest, loudest personality ever and made them my pal. Let me tell you, this made school soooo fun!
Anyway, my realization was this: While I don't care for empty chit-chat, I enjoy learning about people's lives immensely.
When I first approached B about contributing to Mommy 4-1-1, I was very nervous. For some reason, I had the notion she was the quiet, private type. Considering that's how I typically come across, I shouldn't have assumed. She surprised me by being heartily supportive of the idea. This glimpse of B was expounded on when I spent some time with her and her "miniature" this afternoon. Thanks so much for sharing!

No no no, quiet is not the word for me. I'm glad you enjoyed our visit because I was telling my husband the same thing when you left. It was great to get to know you a little better! Thanks so much for being here and helping out.
That is so true about you not enjoying talking to people. Remember when i had to call and break up with a guy for you, and had to call in sick for work for you.......do I need to go on????
OH and I got you a husband....man I am such a good friend......ha ha ha
