Add one more pregnant friend to my list! (I just found out yesterday!) What the hell is in the water?

Saturday, March 04, 2006

Ok. Today is obviously gonna be a Sex and the City kinda day! I know this because when I opened up my apartment door, and looked down to put on my oohsoo cute $150.00 + Ugg Boots they were GONE!!!!!! (I am immediately taken to the episode of "A Woman's Right to Shoes!" That was the episode in which Carrie's Manolos were stolen from a party when she was forced to remove her shoes @ the door). Ok. I've been living in this building for almost 4 years now, and I always leave my Sh*t in the hallway, in front of my door! No one has ever taken anything from me, PRIOR TO TODAY! Why today though? Why this week? Again, I revert back to SATC. Prior to the stolen $150.00 + Ugg Boots (Yes I must keep mentioning the Price-I'm pissed!)

One of my closest friends told me she was "Engaged" (it wasn't a surprise though), another close friend mentioned that her boyfriend should be buying her "Ring" soon, while another friend recently (like within the past few weeks--told me she was getting married in just a few weeks (Why Wait?)! I'm not done yet--another close friend told me she was pregnant (and due this fall), then to top it off I opened up my email and saw a message telling me that yet ANOTHER friend of mine is pregnant. Ok people! All this information was given to me in a matter of hours!!! I'm not lyin! So I'm sitting there reflecting on my life, and being happy for all of them.

I'm just wondering is God trying to send me a message? One friend -- its a whisper! 4 or 5, God is shouting @ me!! I think my message is that I need to make some changes in my life! Maybe its time for me to grow up? I mean, my friends, we're all the same age. They're all making grown-up moves and I don't even know where to start! I don't have a car (sold it when I moved to NYC). Don't own a home (I live in NYC--enough said--I pay a mortgage in rent)! I have no savings account (did I mention, I live in NYC). And I don't like my job (I'm a teacher--I love the kids--but hate the adults)! I don't even know a man that I like enough to sit next to for two hours during a movie (as you can see--I'm single)!

So basically, now I'm left to evaluate my life. Now I'm thinking maybe its time for me to pack-up my stuff and leave The City! I mean I love New York! But I'm starting to feel like New York, doesn't love me back! Ok, I forgot, back to the $150.00 + Ugg Boots! I was getting dressed for work on the morning I intended to "QUIT MY JOB!" (I did, but it didn't take! But that's a story for my next posting--All I can say is ONLY ME! )

As I think of all the good news I got from my friends, and my intention to quit my job, and my stolen $150.00 + Ugg Boots, I'm left thinking that maybe I'm being punished for my carefree (and sometimes careless) single life? Maybe I need to grow-up, marry one of the men I know, and have a baby or two, so that family and random strangers can quit asking me "What's wrong? Why aren't you married? Don't you want kids? Why can't you find somebody?" As if I know the answer to any of those ridiculous-ass questions!!! I ponder this question for just a moment, then I realize, "I pretty much hate people!" (Seinfeld quote: Yea! People are the Worst!) And even though New York doesn't always (or rarely ever does) treat me right, just like my boyfriends of the past, that I knew it would never work out with, I'm enjoying the fun we can have together in the meantime!

In closing, one girl's stolen $150.00 + Ugg Boots, are another girl's ticket to freedom!
