So, in the past month two of my closest friends from growing up have sired children, one just a few hours ago. I'm not entirely happy about this turn of events. People are starting to move onto this next 'family' phase of life, and I'm just not anywhere near that. Not that I have to be, but it's a bit terrifying that close friends are now fathers and mothers. Sure, most of my friends are married at this point, but for the most part I was really proud of them all for waiting before the whole baby thing. I guess that time has now ended. It's just really weird.
In other news, since my main reader was excited for me before, the couch I bought back a few months ago will be delivered tomorrow. Once it's in I'll have a better sense for the house's continued furnishing.
And do I make it to LA in July for a wedding? I'm debating, but right now it seems unlikely...

Oh, man. TELL ME ABOUT IT. Every few months it seems like someone's either getting married or having babies. It's actually quite depressing. Not that I'm not happy for all these people. But I have issues with being left out, or left behind, and will usually do what's necessary to not be. Usually. Though I understand husband and babies require more work than the rest. However, this thought just came to me: if I usually do what's needed to not be left out, how's the husband and baby thing any different? Why won't I try as hard for that, rather than worry about being picked first for a team or making sure that I'm at every event my friends are throwing? I don't know. You're right, it is really weird. I'm with you on that weirdness.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm at the point now where I can't tell whether that's something I really want, or whether I think I want it because everyone else has it, and I just want to join the crowd, and per usual, I don't want to be left out. Maybe I'm just a sheep. (Although if I really was a sheep, I'd have taken up smoking long ago.....because it looks so cooooool.) Not to say the married and baby life can't be great either, I've heard lots of praise about it's merits. But is anyone ever REALLY happy? Because if they weren't would they REALLY tell you?
Hooray on the couch. It seems like ages ago since you were talking about it. I can't believe it really took this long to get a couch made. Babies don't even take as long in the oven. Sheesh. Should post a pic when you get it.
As your seemingly sole reader, I have no idea whether you should make it to that wedding without knowing your scheduling conflicts and other personal details. That's why situations like this really require a readership of uneven numbers greater than 1. Like I've said before, having multiple readers really come in handy for poll taking. But should you decide to make it out here before the last week of July, give me a holler, I'll give you the SH tour, at a discounted rate!
I wasn't expecting the couch 'til mid-June. This was fast...
ReplyDeleteWhat happens the last week of July?
