What am I going to do?
Kristen moved the day after Chirstmas.
Tonight I find out that the best neighbor a gal could have, Shay-not-tibbets, is moving to Hood River!
This is too much for a girl to handle.
I am going now to drown my sorrows in a bowl of Captain Crunch.

You probley didnt intend, but this post made me giggle. I have a feeling you will make out just fine, I happen to KNOW you are in high demand as a friend :) Shay is leaving?? Who will you do a dinner exchange with?
It looks like you really will need to start up a frozen dinner exchange. And, I'd like to remind you that you've been the one leaving quite a few times too.
I thought you would leave all the leaving behind after you're were finished with school - thanks for the heads up. I guess there is no end to friends leaving....and then making new ones, which you are very good at.
You're still up for our post-holiday friend moving depression self-help counseling party aren't you? I'm bringing the Richard Simmons self-help tapes, chocolate, Kleenex, Zoloft samples and Steel Magnolias. Did I miss anything?
I am sorry to hear that Shay is moving - I really enjoyed having her as a neighbor when I was there helping.
Hopefully a good neighbor will move in.
And you are often the one moving Phoebe, as I was for many years. That's why I have such a long Christmas card list!
And it is very hard to see friends leave - even when you make great new ones, you don't forget the old ones and the experiences you've shared.
I know just how you feel! (See my recent post, also coincidentally titled "So Long, Farewell (Another One Bites the Dust)". It sucks to lose one's community; not that new friends aren't nice too.
I know, I know. I'm usually the one that is moving. It's hard on either end. But, the kicker is that 3 are moving all at once.
And Nancy, I am already planning our Pity Party.
Not Shay-not-tibbets too! I am sorry Pheobe. She has been such a great neighbor. I suppose it's nothing that a bowl of captain crunch can't cure. Now how can I make it to the pity party? I hate missing out!
Forgot to mention how much I will miss you!
Um, yeah...just a thought....a little Kim lovin goes a long way. I may just make up for all that sorrow! All you need is a little Kim fix, right? Ok, and a little Captain Crunch too.
mmmm....crunch berries or peanut butter? I'm sorry your losing your friends, I know how that is, makes your heart a little sad.
I'm sorry, it is hard losing several at once!
I will miss Shay-not-tibbets too. I will also try to be extra-neighborly to make up for the loss.
I was in your shoes this past summer. I feel kind of bad saying I've adjusted already. I used to not having them around - but I really haven't found new friends on that same level.
It just seems to take so much time - and it doesn't help when you have three kids in school; two with different morning pick up times.
I have, however, made new friends, just on a different level. I don't think you ever find the same thing again. You find something new and sometimes at that time in your life it just fits.
It seems that an inordinate number of people are moving these days. (Just hope that it includes US in Portland soon!) Are we the 'gypsy generation' or what? Notice, all of our parents are still in Monrovia.
I feel for you, Phoebe. Nice people are everywhere, but it usually takes a while to find kindred-spirit friends. They are rare and precious.
I fully agree with everything said, good-bye Shay-Not-Tibits, I will especially miss saying your name as frequently as in the past~ you were a great pal to Ph and an inspiration for dinner exchangers everywhere!!!
PS-Fancy Nancy,
I had no idea Richard Simmons made self help tapes! What excatly is he helping oneself do? Dress? Hair-styles? I wish I could come to the pitty-party and find out!
I'm quite impressed that Richard Simmons has those tapes too. I think a pity party is in order, and soon! How did the Captain work out?
