Normally I love Saturdays. I get to sleep in and have a leisurely day. No work, no thoughts of work or how I'm a failure.
Today I was reminded of how I am a failure. Remember how I said all my friends are married? Well, some have children. My friend Jessica is about to have her first. Saturday was the baby shower.
The baby is going to be named Mackenzie. Apparently I'm the only one who remembers those Spuds Mackenzie commercials because the name reminds of a dog every time I hear it. Truly awful. But Jessica and so many others seem to love it.
The baby shower was excruciating. I saw all my friends -- all the ones who are happy and satisfied with their lives. There were so many gifts, so, so many gifts. And then there was Jessica. She looked pregnant and fantastic at the same time. How is that possible?
I looked around at all my friends. Why do they have all the things they want and I have nothing? They have good jobs, nice houses, husbands and children. I want that, yet life has seen fit to not give it to me. What am I doing wrong? Why is karma out to get me? Why, why, why?

Fran,
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should try a dating site :)? Not very familiar with them, but I often see the commercials for eHarmony. Start there.

And let the general public know I'm single by advertising it? (Bites nails)
