Thursday Journal with Neet

The Snarky words this week are 'Relax, we're all crazy. It's not a competition. Freda and Shirley are best friends and spend a lot of time together, talking about boyfriends, parents and everything that's going on in their group of friends. Shirley has just recently broken up with her boyfriend Gary who was a lovely sensible lad with a good job and great parents. They had had the silliest of rows about where to go on their holidays, and they were both so different they just couldn't agree on one they both liked. In the end Shirley had called him selfish and thoughtless and anything else she could think of. She really did like him a lot, and having rushed into a totally unsuitable relationship afterwards, now realised how crazy she had been. She now had the unenviable taste of not only finishing the new relationship, but to go and apologise to Gary and hope he would take her back. Freda then launched into her family grumbles, and said I can beat that . Look at the photo of my grandparents on the wall. They are in a boat without an engine, paddles or anything to steer with, they are really crazy, and it might be hereditary.  Shirley listened patiently and the said to Freda,"Relax, we're all crazy it's not a competition"

Great story, great page in your journal. Your busy background looks as crazy as mine does so I think that hits the spot perfectly too.
Hugs, Neet xx

That's life when two stubborn people are together and just breaking up because of the holiday destination is not possible at all. The end with your grandparents as a comparison is good. This story on the subject is great.
I also find your site so crazy, the two friends, I'm amazed at how it all looks, your background and everything.

I hope Shirley’s issues work out and she can get back together with her ex. He does sound nice and she sounds like she just reacted. Haha about the family
Photo on the wall. That was a nice addition. Hope
All is well Wendy and thank you for sharing this week with us at AJJ for Mia’s photo challenge. Hugs-Erika
