We had a very nice little lunch gathering with our friends today. We exchanged Valentine’s and had a nice time. Of course, I was the ONLY one that ordered tea at the tea room. Everyone else had Diet Coke. WTF? Oh well, I know I don’t have that much in common with some of my friends, but come on. I ordered the Lapsang Souchang and everyone could smell the smokiness of it and turned up their noses. I tried telling them how deep and delicious it was. But, no avail… I also was talking about my quilt and my new knitting endeavors and no one cared. None of them are crafty. They kind of scoff at me about it. They don’t read the same things I do – they pretty much only read the basic Danielle Steele, Nora Roberts, John Grisham stuff. I’ve read that too, but not all the time. I’m sure they have no idea who Margaret Atwood even is – and she’s one of my all-time faves. Plus, one of the women is a librarian – I really and truly bet she has no idea who Atwood is. Unreal. And they are all TV freaks. They watch tons of sit-coms and have no idea what’s going on in the news. Oh well, I finished my tea and got back in my car, tuned in to NPR and headed back home. Maybe it’s best this way. The only person that really understands is Mark. Thank goodness I have him…
