I was in Macy's yesterday and what did I see for sale?? A fake butt! It was like a padded bra for your heiny. Why in the world would women want to make their buttocks look larger???? But then I turned it around and realized how much money I was saving by already having my own built-in padding . . .
Happy 2008 everyone! I hope the year treats you well!

Now Here's the Real Kicker . . .
Dear State of Oregon,
How is it you have that much money left over, yet always manage to ask me for more? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to get my kicker check, but you gave me and all my friends a lot of money. Not just a little chump change, but a significant amount. I can't help but wonder if you took too much in the first place? No new taxes for you, State of Oregon, no new taxes.
Sincerely,
Able Cable

In the Land of Singleton
Yes, I continue to live in the land of Singleton. Here are some of the daily comments you get while visiting this land:
From friend at the gym: So are you seeing anyone?
From the Executive Admin at work: Will you be bringing anyone to the holiday party?
From Mom: Did you meet anyone interesting on the plane ride yesterday?
From Grandma: Have you met anyone nice at work?
From my older brother: You're not getting any younger . . .
From my friend after telling her a story: Well, was the man cute?
From another friend: You are too picky. Try harder.
The comments from Mom and Grandma might sound general enough, but trust me, they both meant, "Have you met any men?"
It's constant. I get comments just like these every single day (pun intended). I do just fine living in Singleton as there are many perks, yet the comments are a drag. A co-worker told me the other day that I'm an inspiration to singles. Is that a good thing? Does that mean I've perfected singlehood to the point that it's all I'm ever going to be good at? I stay very busy and have a full life, and I think that's the point she was trying to make, but I'd rather strive to be an inspiration to all, not a select group. Single or otherwise, go out and live life! And while you're busy living, please be conscious that the daily comments made to those of us in Singleton aren't always appreciated.
