how long has it been? AKA random thoughts
Ok, so I'm a bad blogger and haven't written in months...life's been crazy!
I went to China this summer, and I wish I could say it was wonderful. It was wonderful in that "I feel my horizons expanding and I'm not sure I like it" kind of way. I had lots of interesting chinese food (spicy b/c the hubby liked it that way), saw lots of interesting chinese sites, but it was hot and sticky and I'm a desert rat and was miserably uncomfortable most of the time. Then I got REALLY sick when I got back. I'm fine now, but it wasn't fun.
There is an explosion of babies all around me. (Ok, the sentence first read "there are babies exploding all around me". I decided that wasn't right...) Anyway, between my three girlfriends from college, one from high school, 5 ladies at work that all had babies within the last 12 months or will be having them within the next 6, I feel like I'm surrounded. I feel the tug of the biological clock, and have even had a number of "When Harry Met Sally" moments. You know:
Sally: And I'm gonna be 40!
Harry: When?
Sally: Someday!!
Truth be told I like sleeping in on the weekends and enjoy being able to go where I want when I want and not have to worry about anyone but me and the hubby. And one can't forget the midafternoon naps. Oh, how I love the midafternoon naps! But then there are the other times. So I'm a bit szichophrenic about it. Please don't reply that "you'll know when you're ready" or "you've got plenty of time" or any other such seemingly thoughtful advice. It just seems to make my angst worse.
Alright, I should probably head to bed. Thanks, livejournal, for letting me be random for a few minutes! There really should be a 'random' tag on this thing! =-)
