When are you getting married?

I would have never thought thid day would come, but here it is. Apparently dealing with society and/or our parents driving us crazy because we are 28 years-old and not married yet is not enough ... Now our friends are joining the party. 
Whether sending you websites with dating apps to join ... Or trying to set you up on dates with guys that are exactly "your type" ... Or my personal favorite: just plain asking you "so when are you going to get married?"
Well, and I know this is a surprise to all, but it is really, REALLY, R-E-A-L-L-Y hard to pinpoint your wedding date when you don't have a groom to marry.

I guess if you were crazy enough you could plan a date, hire a caterer, and send out invites, and then hope a guy proposes before the date you planned in your head -:)
But I am not crazy.

And no I am not against marriage. I think if I were to find the right guy, we would make adorable little babies and live happily ever after. Yes just like In the fairytales.

However I haven't met the right guy and I am not making babies alone, and as my girlfriend said "it's not like there were 10 guys fighting to marry me at the moment and I was being difficult saying no to all of them."
So stop asking me when I am getting married. I don't know. Plus even If I did know and had a wedding date planned, if you don't know about it, it's because you are not invited. So regardless, it's an awkward question to ask, so stop asking it. I promise once he exists, then asks, I will say yes and set a date.   

PS: I am lucky because my adorable parents are not driving me crazy ... Yet ...  Just about everyone else around me though.

Live, Love, Laugh & Travel & don't ask me when I am getting married

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park t...

Imagine dating your computer

Image
Saturday night I went to the theater and saw the movie " HER " by director Spike Jonze and I have to say, even though I liked the movie, it could have been better if someone had introduced us before hand. I could have made it better because we could have used stuff from my book . This is the part where you think I am super full of himself for saying that a Hollywood director should collaborate with me. You might even wonder: did she really write that and go back to read the paragraph again. Don't bother. I did. You didn't misread. But I promise I am not full of myself. I loved the movie. It was brilliant. If you don't know what I am talking about, here is a quick synopsis: a lonely almost divorced guy writes love letters for a living but cannot seem to communicate with the people around him. He then falls in love with his OS. Sadly OS is not some sort of code for Obnoxious Secretary, it is an operating system. The man falls in love with his computer, who ends ...

Rude or not?

A few weeks ago, a flight attendant working with me on a flight to India approached me and asked if she could ask me a personal question. "Sure," I replied. "Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful," she said. I remember thinking "wow it is starting really good - what will follow is going to be really bad." But it wasn't. She noticed I had acne and knew of a treatment to fix it. I laughed and told her to relax. Why would I be offended? I was thankful, and if you ever had acne, you can relate because you probably tried a million of creams and lotions, which all failed, so even a glimpse of  hope meant something. And that's exactly what Carmen gave me: HOPE. However when a stranger approached me yesterday with his business card and said to call him because he had something that would fix my skin, I was a little annoyed. I felt that it was out of place for a stranger to mention anything about my skin or anything else for that matter....
