My birthday…

It’s my birthday.  As of 6:50am (9:50am ET) I was born.  Since I was born in NY, we’ll go with that as the official time.

That was in 1976.  I’ll leave the math up to you.

Back in the day (when I was 13 or so) I imagined that by now I’d be married with kids.  I’m not married and I have Mali and Elka to keep me company.  I’m happy about where I am.  I had friends that had no family around for the holiday that were depressed they’d be alone on Christmas but for me, I was right where I wanted to be: at Hondo Dog Park with Elka.

In all seriousness being single agrees with me.  I don’t like sharing space and I get crabby about having to live on someone else’s schedule. I don’t share my bed well, especially, and I have very set ideas about how my animals should be treated, as well as how my house, and of course, how I should be treated.

Of course, I also don’t leave my house, so meeting someone to attempt to date would be a pretty difficult thing anyway.

Perhaps in the New Year I’ll try to expand my horizons and see if I can meet someone.  But I’m happy where I am and not particularly feeling any sort of “biological clock” ticking.  I do sometimes think it would be nice to have a partner, but most of the time I’m blissfully happy with just me and my girls.  And “sometimes” is not enough motivation to kick me into gear to get into the “dating” world.

But we’ll see.  What I can say is that this year has been an incredible year and I’m happy with where I am.  I’m hope the coming year will also shape up nicely.
