I am excited to know that there are several people reading my blog...so at least it makes me feel like I am not just rambling to myself.:-) I enjoyed the nice long weekend. I had a new realization when I dog sat for some friends on Friday night. I have been wanting a puppy for quite some time now. Well...I have now changed my mind. The dog was adorable...but chewed on everything..including huge portions of my hair when I was lying down and woke me up several times to take him outside. I could not leave him alone for even a second. Granted the dog is still a puppy, but I don't thnk I would have the time to keep up with a puppy at this point. It would be like being a single mother or something.
Why have I wanted a puppy? Probably to help with feelings of loneliness. It is funny how I stay quite busy and have all my friends, but I still often feel lonely. The fact that it felt great just to dance with a stranger in a bar the other night definately confirmed that I feel lonely. I don't think that I am unusual in this feeling though. There is something about this age where it feels like I am caught in between my single friends and then those who have gotten married...or at least are in some type of relationship. It is hard as the age of marriage is being pushed later, yet there is still that part of me that longs for male companionship. It is just nice to have someone to ask about your day, care about you, and look at you that special way. It is this strange thing. Anyways, sorry if I have gotten a little too personal today. At least I have decided that for now a puppy is not going to help fill that void. I am not quite ready for anyone to wake me up when I don't have to be up yet!:-)
