Who woulda thunk it? (or: a rather random realization)

Last weekend, during my "happy birthday, Grandma" phone conversation...

(90-year-old) Grandma: Well, I just hope you meet a man before I die.

Me: (laughing) Grandma, that's just mean! And I plan to have you around for quite a while, still, so I don't think we need to call in the troops just yet.

Grandma: (laughing) I'd just like to meet him.

Me: Me too, Grandma...me too.

Here's the thing: for the first time in my life, I can honestly say that I feel neutral about the concept of meeting someone. And possibly, even a little bit like I enjoy the concept of being with someone more in theory than in practice. I love my life -- my friends, my family, my job, the things I get to do on a regular basis -- and it would take a lot for someone to be fabulous enough to get a spot in the same.

That's all.

That's an excellent place to be.

I feel very similar so I know what you are talking about. In theory I definitely want to find someone. But I can't imagine compromising anything in my life in order to fit with someone else's. I love my life and if I can find someone that just adds to it, then great. But at this point I'm not willing to give anything up just for the sake of having someone by my side.

I really, truly loved being single. I still consider myself a single person (even though I'm obviously not). If I would not have randomly happened upon Jason, I would be one happy, free-loving gal.

You know this is the point where he shows up and throws a monkey wrench in your plans, right? You're basically taunting the universe right now.

I totally agree with Carly... you think Murphy's Law doesn't apply to you, but we think otherwise.
