Who are the five people you spend the most time with?

My husband mostly, also my sister, my BFF, another dear friend and my kitty.

My husband, my two youngest grandsons, my son and his wife are the only people I spend time with.

My wife, my parrot, and a few friends with whom I play music.

I’m in the process of moving. Unless I count visits with family and friends over the phone or over Skype, I only spend time with my husband (and our grand-dogger).

Fifth place is a 94-person tie between all my current students.

Interesting lists! Do you guys feel this is an accurate representation of yourself?

Especially curious to hear about kitty, parrot, dog #1, dog #2, 94-person tie and Franco Nero!

@raum: I love my dogs and prefer them over most people, hence dog #1 and 2. The 94-person tie is really about a lack of free time to spend time with anyone else other than my students. I have friends and family who could be my real #5, but they’re all over scheduled too — so even if I had time spend with them, they wouldn’t.

And no, this is not really how I’d like it to be. I’d love a real number 5 (or even slide the doggies down a bit and make room for two more humans. I’d love more active, regular friendships with people who have the time and energy to give a shit, but that hasn’t happened in almost 30 years. So it is what it is.

@raum -I have spent some time with him in my dreams. I believe that counts.

My favorite:
Me
Myself
and I
My Son
Sometimes neighbors depending on project/goals that I now have all the time to work on.
After a life devoted to others I relish my retirement as a Godsend.

My kitty is truly like a daughter to me. I love her with all my heart. We hang out a lot :)
