2. Please don't give me pictures of your grandson. Does he know you're doing that? Really? Because I'm pretty sure he would be quite embarrassed.
3. Please don't introduce me to your single son/favorite guy ever/great nephew/neighbor by saying: "here is the girl I told you about!" This gives me the impression that you have talked me up. I now feel extreme pressure to smile and be overwhelmingly charming. This pressure, in turn, leads to me saying NOTHING CUTE OR COOL AT ALL. Yeah, that's going to work out. I'm so sure he wants to date the girl who just told him 25 interesting facts about Jane Austen.
4. Please don't ask me to babysit every Friday night. I reserve the right to go out with my friends or my brother or eat two gallons of chocolate ice cream. Just let me embrace that right.
5. Please please PLEASE don't pity me. Don't look at me sadly when someone gets engaged. Don't pat me on the back when my ex gets married. This is my number one request. Just don't.
6. Please stop telling me you 'have a really good feeling about this year.' I know you're not talking about a promotion at work.
7. Please stop pushing me out in the middle of a dance floor to try to catch a bouquet of fake flowers.
8. Please stop asking me to go places and then having random guys "accidentally" show up there and introduce themselves. I'm pretty sure this is just a variation of #1.
9. Please don't give me the phone number or email address of a lady you know who is 40 is single. I'm thinking this is supposed to be some type of encouragement but....let's just not okay?
10. Please don't invite me to your 'I hate boys' or 'Let's all wear black and be emo for Valentine's Day' parties. I don't hate boys'. I would like to date one. Also, I love Valentine's Day. You don't have to have a boyfriend to eat chocolate and wear pink. I mean, really.
Ah, the life of Abby. The fun never stops.
I went to a SUPER FUN wedding this weekend and saw some of my precious camp friends. Yay! These three girls were my roommates my first Summer at Zephyr. Room Six for life! :))) So good to see you girls!

AMEN! feeling your frustration from 2,500 miles away. Love you Abby!
Fantastic! The older we get, the worse it is. My grandmother has upgraded to asking me every time we talk how my love life is.
