Because I've said, "yes" to way too many things....

I have not blogged in quite some time.  Sorry about that.  I really do feel bad.  I never even finished my February Blog Project.  Something happened around the 24th and I just sort of gave up on the remainder of the month...and it's not that I could not think of 4 more days worth of single-thankfulness because my cup runneth over...not my coffee cup.  Should my coffee cup run over...well, that would be a crying shame.

I'm going to conclude that project by saying - even though I'm thankful for the 24 things that I have shared...it's also really hard being single.  It's hard when...

1. well-meaning people say things like, "Why are you still single?"  I choose to not retort with, "Why aren't you kind?"

2. I'm sick and I don't have anyone to run to Walgreens for me.  Who wants to get dressed and run to Walgreens when they are sick?  Walgreens is at the corner of Happy and Healthy and let's be honest - Walgreens is a party and trips to said store should be celebrated accordingly.  

3. it's winter and I really do not want to bundle-up and go outside to get groceries (and I heart grocery shopping).  

4. you get the wedding invite that is elegantly addressed to "Miss Angie Good and guest."  There's no guest.  I would gladly bring my cat but that kind of behavior is frowned upon in most social circles.  Plus who wants to be the girl that gets mentioned in a wedding etiquette book, "Beware of single people who want to bring their pets."  I don't want to be that girl.

Being single is hard.  Being married is hard.  Raising kids is hard.

How about we vow to give each other grace.....

Give me grace when I have to decline fun plans because my calendar is cram-packed.  And then married peeps, don't be shocked that a *gasp* single person can have an over-flowing calendar.

It's been awhile.

While I was in The JoAnn Fabrics store this afternoon purchasing pre-punched paper for my 2024 garden journal, I said to myself, "Self,...
