I hope these bumps in the road can be overcome and our friendship can withstand this challenge, much like yours did.<br /><br />The break is very welcome and needed. I am so fortunate to have a job where the schedule is pretty darn good. Most people don't get a break around the holidays like I do. While a lot of my break will be spent working, there is a huge difference between working from home in my pajamas and having to go into the office.BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-23460498826074513132014-12-16T15:06:05.258-05:002014-12-16T15:06:05.258-05:00Lots going on in your world pulling you in differe...Lots going on in your world pulling you in different directions! Reading about the painful interaction with your friend brought back many similarly awkward and difficult interactions from the past -- but in a different light this time around. I see now, with some distance, how bumpy those transitions into new stages of life can be. Some of the very friendships that were tested to the core emerged stronger. New life stages (for both parties) brought new opportunities to reconnect. Hope that your upcoming break brings some welcome time to recharge your batteries. xoPamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-29062312106168121572014-12-15T17:47:36.529-05:002014-12-15T17:47:36.529-05:00You are right, Mali, maybe one day I will be able ...You are right, Mali, maybe one day I will be able to talk to her about it and laugh. Right now to discuss it would only hurt me more and would make her feel terrible. Neither one of us needs that right now.<br /><br />The noodles are from scratch. My grandma taught me to make them years ago and I have honed the skill over the years. The recipe is quite simple (flour, eggs, milk) and it is somewhat labor intensive, but totally worth it. I am a carb addict as well! If I eliminated carbs I could probably lose weight quickly, but I would rather eat the carbs! :)BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-43596449131613753562014-12-13T23:38:53.350-05:002014-12-13T23:38:53.350-05:00I'm really sorry your friend hurt you.

One day, you might be able to tell her you found the details hard. A friend gave me a book to read when I was in hospital with my second ectopic pregnancy - the first half of the book was a man gushing about how wonderful it was to be a father. The book she'd given me the year previously when I had my first ectopic saw the main character have a miscarriage. I told her a few years later, when I could laugh about the ill-timing of it all. She was mortified!<br /><br />You have a very thoughtful husband. And you look great! (You should see me after a workout. Wait. No, you shouldn't!)<br /><br />Yum - I love the idea of making noodles. (The noodles themselves from scratch?) I must try it. I love love LOVE noodles - any type.

Maybe someday I'll share a good picture! <br /><br />I LOVE how you emphasize the LOVE in sLOVEnia! I also love your name. Klara is one of my favorite girl names (my name is also an uncommon K name).<br /><br />BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-40546514302967414102014-12-13T07:51:06.226-05:002014-12-13T07:51:06.226-05:00Your calendar sounds adorable too!

There are 24 pockets, each with a little felt "ornament" & each day I hang a new ornament on the tree. Love it! Who says you need kids to have fun at Christmas?? loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.com
