Uh oh.....clocks are ticking

So in the past 2 weeks I have had 6 conversations with 6 different women about their unease with not being engaged or married. Only one of them is over 30. What in the world is going on? Since when do people in their mid 20s start exasperating about marriage? I've heard of wanting a baby at this age but wow. They aren't even worried about kids that much. It's all about that lifelong partner.

Female #1 - Everywhere I go I see women my age with rings. It depresses me.
Me - How do you know they're your age?

Female #2 - OMGosh if I don't meet my husband this year it's all downhill.
Me - Ummm will you be 30 next yr?
Female #2 - No.

Female #3 - I feel like all my friends are getting married =(
Me - Am I your friend? Am I getting married? Am I worried about it?

Female #4 - OMGosh I'm never going to be married, no one will want me.
Me - Ummm aren't you extremely attractive, don't you have no kids, you have multiple degrees, extremely loving, and you're not crazy? What makes you think this?

This is the kind of stuff I'm hearing... is it the weather? Has winter gone on for too long? What gives?

To move or not to move... that is the question.

YES WE DID!

The pain that comes with getting back on the horse

So for the first time all week I have been able to walk without crippling pain. Sad right....I had the trainer from HELL on Sunday. I've never had to use my hands to move my legs in my life. I couldn't even get in and out of the car without using instruments, and then using my hands to lift my legs out of the car...smh...very painful, but good pain. So now that I can walk again with pain I can manage, I'm back in the gym today! =) I figure now all I have to do is remind myself of the pain I felt this week, and I'll never take a month off from the gym again!

Get my butt into gear!

Soooo, after seeing the 'Yonce's new video, and thinking about the time in the sun/beach I'll have this winter, I decided it's time for me to become a gym rat again.

So I woke up early this morning did my 2.3 miles, tomorrow, 2.3 miles plus weight training at the gym! It is not a game....please feel free to leave little notes to keep me motivated!!! =)

In other news... DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!! Yea I'm biased, and not giving choices....Barack is the only option ;-) Let's make it happen!!

When does it stop?

At what age is it possible to stop having to play certain "games" while dating someone? How come people can't just say I like you, you like me, and just move on from there? Why is it that everyone is sooo afraid of looking thirsty? If you really like someone show it! Why is there this rule that folks never really grow out of that says you have to wait to show how you really feel about a person?

Lions & tigers & bears

Jazmine Sullivan's "Lions & Tigers & Bears"

Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom You say you care and I know you do But this is from my experience And my conclusion only makes sense Just cause I love u and u love me, It doesn't mean that that we're meant to be, I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas, But the most frightening thing is you & me!

[Chorus] I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh my] But I'm scared of [loving you] I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right] But I'm scared of [loving you] Am I the only one who thinks an impossible task? Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask? Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?

I've been listening to this song a lot lately, and the portion I bolded really got me thinking. Are there people you love that you should never try to be in a relationship with?

I know there are people that you love that you have no business marrying, but what about dating, etc.? I'm sure we've all had a person in our lives that we love, and are drawn to, but for one reason or another it just never seems to work out that you all are "together" no matter how much you love/like each other. Could this be God's way of saying STOP do not pass go?
