A Storm is Coming

Well I would have been at the farmers market right now but there's a big storm about to hit the twin cities and I'm directly in the path! So I'm home waiting it out, all the plants are inside, deck "furniture" laid down and my car is in the garage.

I have deck "furniture" because it's plastic. It is recyclable and high backed so it works just fine for now. Like so many things in life.

I'm here alone with my little prednisone miracle - she's still happy and therefore still alive! She likes to eat my my plants so I had to cover them.

Being single sucks. Okay, I take that back, being single over 30 sucks. Under 30 it's pretty fun most of the time.

Almost all of my friends are married with children. The kids dictate how the day goes and if plans happen or not. Spouses also dictate. Even people with no children will cancel last minute because of something with the spouse/spouse's family/etc.

Mothers like to hang out with other mothers. I think it's because then their kids will have something to do while they talk. I would like to have kids someday but I'm not just going to start producing them so I can keep my friends.

Some of my friends actually get together without me...for kid things/spouse things. They are either totally forgetting about me or it's me. I'm going with the easiest answer and that is they forget. I can not say enough how awful it is to not be invited because I don't have a date and/or a child.

I don't think it's personal, I think it's just what happens. It sucks!

Anyway, hard week. Stuck between a rock and hard place on more than one issue. So, complaining about my social life seems to be the next best thing!

The news people say tornados are on the ground. Wish us luck!
