Sorry folks. I know I've been gone for so long, but not my fault... really! It's just that I'm a jet-setting wedding guest. Yup that's me: I fly around the world to see all my friends get married, and don't have time to internet.
I think the whole world has gotten married...except for me of course. Everyone seems to think that I haven't noticed that I am still single at 32. Comments come in every size, shape, and form. Usually a bit hushed, inquisitive ("So when are you getting married then?") or imperative ("Well, you are already 32, you have to start thinking about getting married soon"), but all as if they were the only person to have noticed that I am still alone at the ripe old age of 32. Well here's news for everyone: I KNOW!!! Yes, I am aware that I am alone, and surprise surprise: ya I do think of marriage. However I want what all my friends have: someone who loves me.
I have to say it is truly lovely to go to these weddings and see two people so utterly in love with each other. The best part is to see these Alfa-male/macho-men all strong and virile say "I am really lucky to be with such a wonderful woman". They seems so surprised when they say to me: "You know, I really don't know what I would do without her"; or:” I always knew that we'd be together, and now so does the rest of the world"; and best of all is "She's my best friend and I love her". I think the effect is different when said by a man. Girls are mushy by nature, but to hear a guy so sincere, so surprised and so in-love is just heart warming. I want that. Where do I buy myself one of those? Has Tesco started to sell them? Can I choose the confection too?
"One tall, dark and oh so handsome man in-love with me please. You can deliver him straight to my house while I go to the till to pay... Thank you"

I agree with you. Don't people realize we KNOW we're single? What do they think -- that we wake up each morning imagining that we actually have a wife (or husband, Lora)? Ridiculous. And so rude. Love the blog!
