The other white...
I'm sitting here in a pretty relaxed mood, watching snow fall. Its the second storm this week but before Monday Nova Scotia hadn't seen any snow at all and it's Dec so I'm not gonna complain. While I'm one of those people who actually don't mind snow that's not the type of white that's been bothering me lately. Let me explain...It all really started about a month ago. As you all know my chickidee (Hollie) is getting married next summer. I'm still insanely excited to drive down to VA for that. Then my good friends Ashlee and Jason (from the rink) announced that July/08 they are gonna be tying the knot. A week after that date was set, another friend of mine (and yes I said friend because I have no idea what else to call him) called to tell me he asked his girlfriend of only a year to marry him. Of course there's Michelle and Jeremiah, even though he hasn't officially popped the question, they are planning on getting married at some point. Oh and I almost forgot Michelles sister Lisa, her and Shawn got married recently. I just seem to be at that stage in life where a lot of my friends are settling down. Even my very favorite party girl Christina is in a serious relationship. I've the good part of this year single, well no serious relationships anyways and honestly I needed that after the crap I went through last year. It's as much about feeling left out as it is a 'wanting my happily ever after' thing. I know that's crazy and pretty immature. Even things like my crazy insane party weekends aren't as often. I still enjoy partying with my girls but in all honestly the reason I don't go downtown every weekend anymore isn't because I have laundry to fold or too much work to do. Well actually I do have A LOT of work but anyways it's mostly because I've done it and it's fun once in a while but it's also nice to sit in with friends or family and enjoy some good time in a environment that doesn't involve skanky girls, dirty guys, and going to the sick looking bathroom just to hear the friend who's standing right beside you. Maybe this is a short phase, ya know, always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Which of course in the movies always ends in a never ending love and a white wedding. My life however is not a movie. Either way this has me happy for all of them and at the same time a little jealous. Yay for rants about white...love ya all

Well lets look at it this way, which friends still go to the clubs, and which friends go out a bit, but are starting to lead a real normal kind of life? Which looks more fullfilling? I have to tell you that I have really seen you mature in this area in the last few months, your seeing more of who your real friends are, and taking a closer look at your life, and seeing some things that your not happy with, whether it's the males in your life not treating you right, or friends who are showing their true colors. It's a lot of stress that your dealing with.
It's also a bad time of year to be single, because it's so couple/family orientated, and your close friends are finally settling into new roles( even those who deny having a serious boyfriends! lol)
I think you need to take your friends up on their offers to try to hook you up, brcause they want you to have someone nice, which your not likely to find at the clubs. They want you to have the happiness that they have found, and you know what It's about Dag time you got someone who deserves you.
