husband making friends?

Well, today our phone rang and it was for my husband!

His 'friend' wanted to go to the gym with him. He had just missed my husband whom had just walked out the door a few minutes ago. My husband had spoken with his 'friend' yesterday while at the gym (yay, he went to the gym!) and told his 'friend' to give a call should he decide to go to the gym together. I hope this will last. You see, my husband is the master of small talk but rarely lives up to his word. I guess that is typical of those 'normal' people or perhaps the typical male stereotypes that speak to each other on a regular basis? (As you can tell I'm not one of them) They make false promises to keep up a conversation? I'm hoping not but I really want to see my husband do this gym thing on a regular basis which will be difficult since we both are going to have classes this summer. Perhaps they will make "play dates" together a few times a week and he can get out of my hair and stop talking my ear off. (-;

My husband is a social genius (supposedly) yet doesn't socialize like the average American male. I believe it's partly a cultural thing as he's not from the U.S. He doesn't hang out and watch sports or go to bars and since I don't socialize he doesn’t' get dragged along to play dates either. You see, unlike me, my husband needs to have friends and conversations on a regular basis. Otherwise he will be breathing down my neck 24 - 7. He is a social butterfly and I need my space. Otherwise we compliment each other perfectly. He teaches me how to navigate social situations and I attempt to teach him, erm, humility? So, even though he agrees with me that most people seem superficial and shallow, he can still play the game and I just watch in amazement.

Yay! My husband has a friend and I'm going to let him go out and play!


I have a squirming baby in my lap so I shall close this now. One can hope right?
