That's right - there's a picture of me in the social pages from the
party I went to on Saturday night. They spelt my name wrong (I hate
when people add an "e" to my surname) but I am officially a socialite!
In other news...Hubby and his business partner are launching their new
company on the weekend. They have a car which has been branded and
they have new business cards and pamphlets and uniforms - it all looks
very cool. I'm not entirely sure they have a handle on the logistics
of it all (Hubby will still work full time for now and the business
will be run mainly on the weekend) but I have every faith in the
entrepreneurial spirit of the two boys.
One problem has been the third member of their little friendship
group. The one who isn't part of the new company.
He's been very outwardly jealous of it - saying stuff like "the car
looks like it's from a two dollar shop." (It doesn't - it looks
great!) Last night, we all went out for dinner as a celebration for
launching the company - but this particular friend was a little bitch
the entire night.
We all wanted to go to one place and he refused - not because of the
food - but because he got "bad vibes" from the place. So all of us
compromised and went where he was happy to go which ended up being
pretty expensive. The whole night, he was in this mood - making little
comments about the business - not toasting the others. He said that he
had a great lead for the guys - but he wouldn't tell them about it
unless he got a cut of the profits. A true friend would never say such
things to a couple of young guys starting out - they'd do their best
to encourage them and help out.
Anyway, I have the shits with him on Hubby's behalf. He's being a
toxic friend and that's not what we need at the moment.
Meanwhile though - yay - for I got on the social pages!! lol!

Jez, the socialite? That's very cool. And at least we don't have to be worried about you being photographed getting out of cars without yer undies? Or do we? Anyways, congrats, madame.
Ooooo - Ph.D. AND a socialite too! That rocks! =o)
You should totally get hubby away from the toxic friend. We were even talking in yoga the other day about how your emotional kosha (the mayomana kosha) impacts others and either lifts them up or brings them down. The last thing hubby needs while he's working all those jobs is a friend who brings him down. Hope it goes well! =o)
That would be manomaya. My sanskrit is really not coming along very well, lol.
Don't forget me when you are famous darling.
Well done on making the papers!!! Hope you weren't doing anything norty in the pic, like poking a tongue out, LOL.
Your poor hubby and his mate. It makes it hard when the 3rd wheel of a friendship is not supporting them. He needs to go find his own place to be that guy.
Good luck to your hubby and his mate and their business
Yeah, now I can say I know someone who is a member of the elite!
Jealousy is ugly. Sorry about your friend.
It's about time your greatness made it into the paper!
It's sad to say, but it's always best to get rid of toxic friends. Being dragged down by someone else's insecurities and issues is no way to live.
All socialites have double-barrelled surnames... right, Jez? ;o)
