This time DAD asked me, as a favor to him since he couldn't get them. So HE'S ticked off that they just did their own thing without even the courtesy of calling to let me know they made other plans.

I don't have anywhere to go out TO on my own. Maybe that's part of the trouble. But there isn't anywhere here.

I'm kinda hitting a down spot, but I know it's really over silly stuff. Other people are looking for jobs and dealing with real family problems, and I whine about the lack of social events and my pesky siblings. Not really a big deal, I guess, but it can still be depressing at times.

Don't trivialize the things that get you down, Rosie. They are plenty real and BIG when they're your own problems.

I'm still hoping you'll meet Prince Charming one night when you're playing your mandolin and least expect it. :-)
