I don't always feel this way but tonight as I stood on the back steps listening to my neighbor tell me about her nose job that she will be getting this summer, I looked at her and couldn't imagine what this girl could possibly tweak to look better than she already does. And then I got to wondering, "where does she have money to get a nose job?!" (As a side note, the latter question is one that comes from listening to hours upon hours of Dave Ramsey on public radio and promising to "act my wage" and pay cash for e-very-thing.) This thinking only lead me to be silently jealous of people with double incomes and then, THEN I got to thinking about how I am not a half of a double income and THEN I realized "oh yeah, I am single. That's right." It is a vicious cycle. A vicious cycle indeed.
I guess, if I am honest, I also feel this way because every time, or nearly every time, I open my email there is yet another engagement anouncement or another baby being born to another happy couple--a happy dual income couple, at that.
I realize that this blog looks a lot like sulking and I know I didn't send invites to my pity party but here I stand and over there, there is the bus. The bus that I seem to have missed.

Sar, I can totally understand where you're coming from! But keep in mind, we're all missing some bus or other. I'm sitting on the bench with my fiance, yes, but we're watching the "pay off your credit cards, house, bills, loans, ect before you're 60" bus go by. Or the "Hi I'm just like Ash and Brandon and have LITERALLY the nicest house of anyone I know let alone people under 30" bus. Maybe we're all just on different buses. Right now you're on the "hey, I have this adorable condo, I live in this great city, I love my dog and my job thank you very much, and I am free to do whatever I want whenever I want" bus. I like to think of it as Bus #7. It's a good number Sar. And it's heading in the right direction! =)
Ah, I love Ter.
Love,
Bus #7
