I think that I've just been hurt 1x too many by "friends" to really care anymore about making another "best friend". I'm a very self sufficient person...everyone who knows me says that I was born too late...I would've made it being a pioneer woman! lol! I could take the loneliness of not having close neighbors. to be honest I have my dh and even though he's gone all week we talk every night (thank goodness for free minutes!) and I have the kids and I ahve my hobbies. I am just perfectly content at home.
