Sometimes Being Single Sucks!

Today is my birthday, and it kinda sucks.

Every January 1st I make a couple of New Year's resolutions. This year I swore up and down that I would have a boyfriend by my birthday so that I could have someone to share it with. After all, the day of my birth really should be recognized as a National Holiday, that's how important it is!

But alas, though I go out on dates with people I met on the web, through friends, or just on my own, I haven't met the man that I would want to tie my kite string to and fly away with into Happily Ever After Land.

Being single has its positives, don't get me wrong. I go where I want to go whenever I want to, stay as long as I please, and don't have to answer to anyone about anything or consider anyone's feelings or opinions but my own. I can eat Captain Crunch for dinner, cold pizza for breakfast, and do my laundry only when I have no more clean underwear. Somehow I doubt that would fly if I had a husband.

So tonight I am going to go hang out with a few of my female friends. Some have husbands, some have boyfriends, and some are single like me. But they made time out of their busy lives to share a few hours with me to celebrate another year of my existence on this planet. And for that I am grateful and thankful. After all, husbands and boyfriends come and go, but true friends are forever.

Happy Birthday To Me!
