Need A Good Weekend...

As we head into the weekend I am fighting back a true feeling of being overwhelmed. Work has been really stressful the past few weeks and it's all starting to catch up. Big project due today - and It's not looking like I'll make the deadline... I created the deadline myself - but I still feel guilty as hell!

Also, you might have read that I feel like the only single person left in America these days... 99% of my friends are in a committed relationship or are married and starting to have kids. I'm 27, and I want no part of that right now - I am so different from most of the people in my life that it makes me wonder who really understands me. I wouldn't mind meeting the right person and having someone to confide in and rely on, but marriage and kids!? No way... not right now... and meeting that right person, just isn't a priority high on my list. I'm more of a "when it's the right time it will happen" type of person...

It's been hard for me to be around my married friends lately. All they want to do is stick to a routine and they hardly ever want to go out. How am I going to meet the right person by sticking to a 'married persons' routine and never going out!? They don't seem to get it... I'm trying desperately to switch things up and find new people to spend time with, who might share in my desires to be out and about... but it's hard. I don't want to let go of anyone, but I can't help but see my long-time friendships starting to dramatically change and morph into something I'm not sure I'm comfortable with...

Maybe I'll let the overwhelming feeling take over for a day or two and see where I land... hopefully I'll be able to find a happy medium sometime soon... I'm guessing that tons of other single people have gone through this... any advice out there?

Anywho - I'm not going to let it all get me down, the weekend is my time, and my time it will be!I'm hitting the local watering hole and hoping to find a cutie behind the bar! (or sitting next to me!) At least, I'm hoping to just sit back and laugh for a while :)

Have a great weekend everyone!
