There are a lot of lonely gals out there. It's such an inorganic way to meet friends, but heck, if it works, why not? Definitely will keep you posted....<br /><br />And I can only imagine how lonely being a new mother can be...you an only "talk" to your baby so much!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746789901825076957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139882958054288362.post-43438392346978753662009-08-20T11:17:41.014-04:002009-08-20T11:17:41.014-04:00Kathryn, Your post brought me back to my own lone...Kathryn, Your post brought me back to my own lonely newlywed days after I moved to Long Island. I made a little progress here and there, but I really hit the jackpot after Scott was born. The plan was for me to stay home for the first few years (which turned into 22 years, but that's another story). It turns out that new Moms at home are the loneliest people on earth. Within 10 minutes of meeting, one Mom ends up inviting the other one for coffee or a trip to the park. Also, because I found being home with a baby incredibly boring and lonely, I joined LaLeche League, a mom-baby excercise group and a Mom's discussion group. I found plenty of other Mom's desperate for companionship and many of them are still my good friends. I'm not saying that pregnancy is the answer, but that's my story. I'm interested to see what your story turns out to be. Happy hunting!<br />CyndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
