Life is Funny

I have become increasingly aware of the fact that my life is ridiculous sometimes. Last night I started compiling a list. You know how much I love lists! So here it is...

15 signs that you are moving from "cute independent single girl" to "old maid"

1. You consider dating someone you don't like just so they will mow your grass/take care of home repairs for you.
2. You realize that the only two boys you have kissed this year are your 8 month old nephews.
3. You learn that your ex-boyfriend's child has the same name as your fish.
4. Your family moves from politely asking, "seeing anyone new lately?" to practically begging, "well isn't there ANYONE YOU LIKE? Anyone at all?!"
5. Your guy friends (who are all in serious relationships) tell you that you are "running out of time."
6. You consider buying a cute new shirt but then remind yourself that you have nowhere to wear it and purchase running pants.
7. You have given up splitting recipes in half and then in half again to cook for one and have resorted to lean cuisine meals.
8. Your mom has begun praying that "this will be the year" and reminds you that she is praying in that direction every time she sees you.
9. You will go to extreme measures to leave a wedding before the bouquet is tossed.
10. You accidentally catch yourself talking to your plants out loud.
11. Your friends call you when they are single for once in their life and ask you "what they should do with all their free time?" and "how do you survive?"
12. You have to constantly look nice so people don't think you are depressed or have "let yourself go."
13. You stop suggesting baby names and wedding ideas to friends and family because soon there will be no baby names or wedding details left for you.
14. While taking pictures of your siblings and significant others, you family asks you if you would like to take a picture by yourself. Nope. Thank you though.
15. You have to stop yourself on multiple occasions from creating a fictional boyfriend when asked about it. Matt. He's out of town A LOT for business. He gave me this necklace. He actually moved to Russia. He was here this weekend! You just missed him. Bummer.

And yes, those are based on real life experiences. Haha...I am honestly quite okay with my place in life right now. I just thought some of these were pretty hilarious. My life is beyond awkward from time to time. I'm learning to embrace it. See the humor in it. One day I will be sitting on the couch with my favorite guy ever and he will read these and say to me, "Oh Abby. You are so funny and wonderful. I'm so lucky to have you in my life. Here is a Dr. Pepper and a house in the middle of a field of wildflowers." (Fingers crossed:)

In other news, I got an IPad recently! It was kind of a gift and I am kind of in love with it.

Oh IPad, you had me at hello...or rather, you had me at IKEA app :)
