Old Cheese, new cheese, related cheese

Mr. P. and I have recently joined some "social networking" sites. We have found it is a great way to track down old friends as long as you are careful about where you wander.
One person we both have as a "friend" now is Mr. P.'s little sister. Sis P is in college so this has been a real blessing for Mr. P. As much as he will never admit it to her face, I know he missed her and worried for her. What I have found amusing is that Sis P is unwittingly following in my footsteps, at least in the employment field. She has held 2 of the exact same first jobs that I did around her age.
I have also found 2 very dear friends from high school. Our Christian prom picture still hangs on my living room wall. I think I have changed the least out of the 3 of us. Still no ambition, and still content with that. Both now have or are working towards careers and from what I can tell, seem quite happy.
One friend is now expecting her first child. I couldn't be happier for her. I think back on how neither of our kids were welcomed into this world by any other than us, and a spare few. Not to mention the reactions to any of our previous pregnancy "scares". My prayer is that every woman would get to experience a joyful pregnancy and childbirth, fully supported by those around her regardless of her circumstances. I look forward to attending her baby shower.
For some reason unknown to me, Mr. P. decided to have his co-workers as "friends". Somehow, his boss tracked me down and decided that we should be friends too. Hmmm. It is this sort of thing that distinctly makes me flash back to grade school.
"Will you be my fwiend?"
I hope to find other old friends and relatives. This whole internet thing really does amaze me at times. How easy it can make your life, but how dangerous it can be at the very same time.
So I raise a glass of fine wine to the cheese in my life. Because really, what goes together better than that?
