4) Make eye contact and smile

5) If she smiles back purposely walk "past" her or even towards her

6) Say "Hi," followed by your conversation starter for example: "Hi, how do you like your Moby?"

7) If you're brave enough exchange phone numbers or email addresses before leaving!

Hmmm....soo...do I have that way to thought out or what? I sound desperate LOL The sad thing is I actually DO that! And I HAVE mommy friends IRL and I'm always looking for more....

I'm not very brave...a chicken actually : But at least I have the guidelines now!

[ShyDaisi]

I have actually just now started coming out of my lurking shell here! :

You wouldn't have too much stalking to do around here. Not alot of open bf'ng and rare bw'ng sitings.


Just wanted to let you know you aren't talking to yourself all of the time!

that's awesome! so funny, reminds me of the notes I took on 'how to flirt' when i was a young teenager!
I try to stalk around here, but once I joined LLL I found heaven, and a ton of potential friends. now my problem is trying to sound not too eager, like, i'm an artist, I have to be cool.

i thought it was funny that you were posting to yourself!

Eva can do a 6.5" inseam? I'm already at 8" for Romi. But she is really tall.

ETA: I wanted to say: careful on Spot's Corner, lots of mamas got scammed there. ALWAYS CHECK FOR FEEDBACK!!
This one has feedback so I'm not saying that for this transaction, but I just wanted to warn everyone

Hey thanks, I kinda bought them on impulse. I liked the colourway, which is why I bought them, i'm a bit fussy that way I guess. thanks for the warning, I didnt know about it and i don't shop there a lot.

But get this. So I've been on the search for the perfect pair of longies that fit into my budget, and the mission has been somewhat unsucessful, except for a couple pair. Well, a friends' mama can knit, and they've been hanging out here a bit b/c she's pregnant (the daughter-single young mom) and we talk diapers all the time. Well, the mother went home and started to knit, and today she came back with a hot pink/periwinkle purple striped set with a heart on the bum, Eva's perfect size!! Too freaking cute!! She gave them to me, and says there are more coming b/c my dh plows their driveway for fun. So here I have a perfect knitter, local, who whipped them up in a few hours, with awesome fashion sense, who will make them according to Eva's size FOR FREE!!! Did I just die??? that's even freaking better than knitting myself!
will post pics soon!

just checkin in..checkin things out.

Gianna is ACTUALLY SLEEPING ALL ALONE in our bed. She looks like an angel. I don't know what to do with myself. Should sweep the floor. Should clean the bathrooms. Probably won't happen. I haven't had time to myself in awhile so I think I might just hang out.

G started pushing herself up with her arms whiles she's on her tummy...So cute...little mini baby push ups. Mostly I love the grunting noises she makes Babywearing is getting much much better, for which I am extremely thankful. She actually fell asleep in my Rsling today while I was running an erand....amazing considering she generally has to nurse to sleep and it's a big production. Of course I only needed to be in the store for like...10 minutes (I'm FAST these days) so by the time she had nodded off I was like...uhhh well. Gotta put her in the carseat...I HATED disturbing her. I almost felt like staying in the store and wandering around for an hour while she napped. But then I thought I might get kicked out for loitering and I thought that might get awkward. So I left.

Maximom-do we have parrallel lives? brattiness...grrrrr...so easily frusturates dh.

lilmom...I, too, go around thinking...hmmm, she could be my friend. in fact one Sat @ farmer's market, I said \to m y friend Beth-look at that girl she looks like she could be our friend. And that very night, my dh had his new classmate-friend over and guess who was his wife?? The girl I pegged as my new friend! Such irony!

QueenA-now you are making me a bit jealous. Will you stop bragging already!!!??!! (JK)

Queen anne-I have done that very thing. Loitering isn't something a new mama gets to do much of!

hmm well then. Note to self: Shamelessly loiter. It's all good.

Queen: NO FAIR!!! Maybe she only knits acrylic (trying to make myself feel better here!)
I'm attempting my first pair of longies. It's really hard to get the hang of things like short rows and stuff. The idea of a gusset is freaking me out as well. At least I bought 10 hours of knitting "clinic" at my yarn lounge. I spent 2 hours there today while the kids were napping. Shows you how bad I am at it.

I'm a big chicken too. Whenever I see a cool looking mama, I become super shy. I don't even make eye contact. So hard to make mama friends. I wish I had some close by. I'll go back to LLL in 2 weeks and try to hook up (if romi lets me). I dream of having a mama and a baby move next door. We could knit together, have coffees together, take walks... I live next to the biggest farmers market in Mtl, so we could even cook together. Hearing your talks of canning makes me yearn for some company to do these types of activities.

I'd love to move to Montreal, but I think we're gonna stick close to family for a little while. Although, my sister lives in Ottawa and we've thought about going out that way.
I do love Montreal....

Awwww! I want a friend too! Well, I guess I do have a 'buddy' but she's single and babyless. And when we're out she likes to pretend the baby is hers. But it makes such a difference to know other mamas who share a common bond. I've wanted a friend for sooo long... at least LLL is promising, even if they're not all my age.
You could move to Muskoka! :
