Blogging Slacking

I know it's only been 5 or 6 days since my last post, but it feels like it's been forever. Life is going well. It's been busy, but good.

Last weekend, I went home to P-Burg for the day. I spent the day helping my parents get ready for their yearly dinner party with all of their horse friends. Lots of cleaning involved on my part. Then in the afternoon I met up with Shannon, Amanda & Holly.

It was a good time, nice to catch up since we don't get a lot of time together now that we're mostly long distance now days. The two 2 year olds & one 4 year old seemed to steal the show, which was cute, but... It seems I've been left behind on that whole getting married & starting a family thing. And that's just fine with me. No thanks, not ready. And there plenty of people my age & older in this world who are still single & okay with that. We're really not that uncommon. But ya know, I don't need to feel like people feel sorry for me because I'm not married, engaged or starting a family. Getting married & having kids isn't the right thing for everyone people... and it's definitely not the right thing for anyone who isn't ready, and I'm not ready. So just leave it at that...no sympathy needed people. I'm happy right where I'm at thank you very much.

Phew, got that out of my system. Saturday night I hung out at my parents at their party, helped clean up during & after the party. I finally left around midnight. Thanks to PBS showing an awesome documentary, I didn't go to bed until 2am. When I finally rolled out of bed on Sunday morning around 10:30am, I got ready & Randy & I went to spend the day at his Dad's. It was a great weekend, but I think I'm still catching up on sleep from it.

Good news at work...it looks like I'll be getting some small boosts in some areas (personal time, etc.). So that's good news. Nothing too exciting going on otherwise. Hopefully I'll be in the mood to blog a little more often now but I guess we'll just have to wait & see.

Well sounds like u had a very productive weekend. Don't worry, I don't think you're a "leper" for not wanting to be married, and have kids. I ALWAYS thought I'd never be married and NEVER EVER have kid(s). One day it was just like oh yea, i think i want to pursue having a child...and well we all know how that went. It's all about choice. Believe me, if we have one thing left in this world it's choice. SO keep on keeping on being the kool girl we all know and love!!

Hmm, Holly's last name isn't Kovach, is it? Son named Garret? Just wondering...

When you're ready, you're ready. ;o) You'll know when that time comes. You really shouldn't feel so left out, Manda isn't engaged (yet) and she doesn't have any children (yet).

Carla - nope & nope. She has 2 little girls & married her high school sweetie (who was also in my graduating class.)

And I know I shouldn't feel rushed...and I don't. But it did kinda feel like some other people were almost implying that I SHOULD want those things now that I'm reaching an age when a lot of my friends are settling down into a family. I'm not saying those things are bad things to want. I just don't feel it yet, & am therefore not going to follow that path until I do.
