Girl gets boy…girl loses her friends
Girl gets boy…girl loses her friends. Now I’m pretty sure almost everyone has been there in some form or another. Perhaps those friends took you back after you broke-up. Or maybe after the honeymoon stage wore off they took you back, after you realized a 24 hour orgasm while fun, was starting to cause bedsores. Either way, I eventually got to the point where I knew my friends were slipping away. And no matter how much money I tried to bribe them with to stay, (kidding), they weren’t coming back.
So now I was a few months into my new relationship. I was 20 years old with no friends, sexed out, and bored. Now most smart people in my situation would have pulled the plug or would have left before getting the nickname “granny,” but not me, I decided to stay. Now I shouldn’t say I didn’t have any friends because Ben and Jerry were really accommodating at the time. It was with the assistance of both of them that those 30 pounds I put on, was my first reason to start changing.
And this was my plan….
Step 1 – Get a new job
Step 2- Make new friends at new job
Step 3- Remember what a gym smelt like
Step 4- Dump the boy
Okay, Step 4 sounds harsh, but keep in mind at the time he was away at school, drinking and enjoying his youth. I had a much different life than that. I was home living the life of a divorced 40 year old. I was spending my Friday, and Saturday nights in, stuffing my face with pizza and chips, watching Lifetime. To this day I still don’t know what was worse, the fact that I was 20 years old in college with no life, or that I was actually watching Lifetime.
Finally by April, Step 1 was complete. I found myself a waitressing job which was quite different from the spa job I had, getting paid to sleep, and watch T.V.. I knew it was going to be hard work, but I also knew I was going to be making a lot more money. I was happy to be working at a place with people my own age. I knew making friends was going to be easy. I didn’t however expect, what was going to happen next.
