Growing up each of my sisters had the same best friend for years, these girls were around so often that they started to feel like sisters even to me, whom didn’t particularly care for the one girl. I, on the other hand, had a different ‘best friend’ nearly every year after about seventh grade, and mostly it depended on who was in the most of my classes, or who hung out with the same group of guys that I did. All through high school, I jumped around from friends to friends, just like I jumped from boyfriend to boyfriend…
Even when I was little, I didn’t have a certain stuffed animal prescription drugs without prescription or blanket that I always favored over the rest, whereas once again both of my sisters did.
Hmm… Am I sensing a pattern here?
My son, it seems, would be taking after my sisters. When he was little he had a stuffed dog that went every where with us, until it disappeared. Since then he’s had the same best friend since third grade.
My daughter though seems to be taking after me in this aspect. Her ‘best friends’ (stuffys and other toys) change on a monthly basis, apparently depending on her mood. For a while she had a teddy bear, Mrs. Cuddles, that she never seemed to let go of, then last fall during our move Mrs. Cuddles disappeared. She cried for weeks over the bear and nothing would console her. Eventually the bear showed up, but by then she had gotten over it, and cialis generic reviews Mrs. Cuddles was retired to the stuffy net with the rest of the forgotten friends. Not long after Mrs. Cuddles was retired, she came upon a little dog, that no one quite remembers where it came from, that she named Biggie Smalls. Suddenly Biggie was the thing that she was carrying everywhere. Lately though, it’s been Webkins that she carries around…
Cute picture of Easter Eggs, but the picture confused me. lol But, then my head is light…been sick for days and am empty.
I had a couple of best friends, one I went to school with, one I did things in the summer with. I see neither now; haven’t in years. Funny how we grow and change.
My older brother though still sees the guys who were his best friends growing up and so does his wife. They have new friends too; but the old ones still live here in town and they still get together, regularly.
Younger brother is more like me. He doesn’t have connections with those he grew up with. So, it is chance? Did my brother, the elder just happen to find people more like himself that he could grow older with? I don’t know the answer, but an intersting thought. Or does it mean, people get stuck in their box and don’t venture out if they have the same friends?

I didn’t realize the picture was Easter eggs at first – I thought it was just a bunch of stuffed animals.
I’m not sure about that, but would have to agree somewhat, as neither of my sisters has any really close friends, besides the ones they’ve had forever. Where as my friends come and go as quickly as my hobbies do.
My hubby on the other hand is still friends with anyone and everyone he’s ever met, and is constantly making new friends, but none of them are real close friends – more acquaintances…
