Something to say, anyone?

My best friend is having a tough week. Pray for her, she needs a lot of prayer.

My mom claims that I always have something say. I'm not sure how to take that. I know I used to just not talk at all, especially when I don't know people. Lately, like at softball practice, I was cheering on people up to bat, even though I didn't know anyone (besides my brother, oh, and Matt).

I still find that if I don't know anyone, and I'm in a one on one conversation, there is still a lot of silence. My best friend and I had a pact almost, it didn't matter if we talked or not, sometimes the silence was just as good as conversation. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, like it is with most people.

I always feel like I have nothing to talk about, since I have pretty much no life other than my kids. And I know others don't want to be talking about kids all the time. So finding things in common with others is rather hard for me. Actually I read this book, and it was talking about how women form relationships around what they have in common with others, men usually form it around activities. So I took the backwards way out (for women anyways). I'm playing on a softball team. Cheater.

I guess I'm just odd like that.
