Single Life

I thought I would let you in to my life as a single 30 yr. old. The conversations I have with people can be quite amusing.

Tuesday - I was at Pa and Grammie's. I told Pa I would be back on Friday and he wanted to know why I wasn't coming Wed. I told him I had an event that I was going to. (I was attending the Women's Program at church.)
He said, "I hope you're going on a date."
I said, "Not really. I'll be with 300 women."
"When are you going to get married?"
"Not this week and next week isn't looking too good either." I replied.
He said, "You need a fellar."
"I do?"
"Yes, you need a fellar."
AJ was standing in the sun room shaking her had at that.
Now before I used to get angry because I was assuming he wanted me to get married because I needed someone to support me. Know I realize he wants me to get married because he loves Grammie so much and he wants the same for me. All I can do is smile.

Wednesday - I went to the Women's Program. This time all the table hostesses had to bring a cake stand, knife, and server. Now, I don't own a cake stand. I usually bake a cake in a 9x13 pan and serve it from the pan. (Thanks Mom.) AJ had a cake pan and graciously let me borrow it. When I got to the church and talked to the lady in charge of table hostesses I told her that it had been quite difficult to find a cake stand.
She said, "Well, those are the kinds of things you put on your wedding registry. Make sure you get the one with the dome to protect your food."
I said, "Can I put a husband on the registry because I'm not getting married anytime soon."
She said, "That's what E-Harmony and all the other online dating services are for, so you can find a husband."

Oh honestly. I guess I should have taken my Dad up on his offer when he said that I could have a subscription to E-Harmony for my 29th birthday. I felt rather insulted, but maybe now I'd have a husband!!!
I've decided that if I'm not married by my 33rd birthday I'll just sign up for a registry and get all the cool gadgets. Maybe by that time I'll have a place to store them and a use for them. :-)
