Seeking a Way Out of Boredom

I know that Lodge Lanes off the Service Drive has different bowling leagues. If this isn't your thing--is there something that you always wanted to try? Try the local Michaels to take and arts and crafts class--scrapbooking, cake decorating, etc. Your library always seems to have a bunch of different programs going on. Maybe you can find something that fits you. I also know that if you you enjoy volunteering, the ypsi meals on wheels program always needs people to deliver meals in the community.

Hi A.,

I am also a mother of 3 (daughters) and originally from California. I met my husband who was in the Air Force then, we got married there and moved to Michigan in 1990. I had a really hard time with homesickness (not really over that completely). I volunteered at my daughters school and met some really good friends thru the P.T.A. We meet for breakfast once or twice a month and share our frustrations or whats ever on our minds. I live in Livonia and there a variety of volunteer opportunities. I know St. Joseph Mercy Hospital is in Ypsilanti, I'm sure they are always looking for a few good people to do volunteer work.
Good to hear from a fellow Californian!! Stay positive!

Hi A.! I have a VERY hard time making friends because I am scared of rejection and therefore don't like to initiate conversation. I am working hard to get over that. Selling Avon has helped. I have a reason and a purpose to initiate conversation and have made some awesome friends - some customers and others are also avon reps (those are my best friends). Look into Avon or another company - I am sure you could make friends! Also, check out the campus events at EMU or WCC - many things are free.

A., My name is C. and I am 59 years old. A few years senior of you. But... Could I invite you to our Ladies Prayer gathering on Wed. mornings at 9:30. You would meet a great group of ladies. After prayer we go to breakfast together for fellowship. The ages of the ladies that come vary between moms of small children to grans and greatgrans. Our church is divided up into Teams, ours is the older group 50 and up,but we are pretty active. There are 6 other teams that have the younger couples.
Also I work at the Ypsilanti Library, in the Friend's Shop. It is as a volunteer. I meet a lot of nice people.
Do you have any hobbies. There is always something going on in the area.Joann Fabric on Carpenter Rd. and Michaels in Arborland mall have all kind of craft lesson offered. There are always things in the A2 Press advertising about things to do.

If you would like to contact me here is my email address ____@____.com

What are your interests? If you like collecting anything in particular, look for clubs that gear towards that. There's volunteer work.
Go to the library, go have a cup of coffee somewhere. I don't know what Ypsi Twp has to offer. There's not a lot in South Lyon either. But some of these smaller coffee houses can be very people friendly. I sat down once or twice to drink my latte and afterwards I wondered why I hadn't done it long ago, because just making human contact, talking with people, you get to know people.
And right on this site I've gained a new friend too.
