First thing's first, any moment in the week when Daft Punk is playing should be a highlight. Just saying.
And hey, I totally get what you mean. Until I got back in touch with my now best friend after no contact with her for a couple of years (she had personal issues she was going through that no one outside of her immediate family knew about), I was just like you. I had no close friends at all. No one I could be silly with or just call up at a moment's notice to hang out. Hell, I can't even do the latter with my bestie because we're both so busy. But we keep in touch through LJ, emails and texts despite living ten minutes drive from each other, so it's all good.
However, my point is that maybe you just haven't found the right person/people to be that close friend/s? It might even really surprise you who that will turn out to be, because in terms of preferences in just about everything except music (the debates on Meyer's writing ability, or in my opinion, lack thereof, have had to stop because it gets kind of heated), my bestie and I are absolute polar opposites, so it really surprises people sometimes that we're such close friends who just get the other and can actually agree on things. Just keep an open mind and heart, and maybe make an effort to go out and socialise with both your work colleagues and perhaps the circle of friends you share with your husband. There might be someone tha you have met before already and just suddenly connect with, or you might meet someone completely new through an acquaintance with whom you just get along straight away and feel like you've known them forever. I've known my bestie since I was 14 and while she and I have always been good friends, we didn't become best friends until about three or four years ago.
Keep trying. You'll find someone or someones that you can have that close bond with. =)
