singletons unite!

this blog is in praise of the internet, blogging, and the online companionship some of us have found. i'm here drinking my coffee (alone) on a sunday morning (none of which i dislike!), & watching an old murder she wrote episode where the woman wonders how she'll make it alone if she leaves her husband but then finds a guy (the ex-thief character) who gives her hope and "opens up a whole new world" to her.

that's the world i live in. funny how women lose track of themselves. actually, sad. they (because i haven't done this) give up their earning potential to raise children and then are often left abandoned with a $20K earning potential to feed several kids. without kids, it is devestating enough.

i may be alone, but i'm not afraid for my future. no matter what happens, i can get a temp job quickly & hold it until i find a good-paying one. i could be crippled & still do that b/c of my chosen back-up profession.

anyhow, that aside, i next thought i wonder how twodatediva is doing this morning? so i quickly glanced at her blog (which i will comment on as the issue hits very close to home!) and then i thought, how cool is it that i can sit in my apt. drinking coffee & NOT feeling alone? b/c other singletons out there are sharing their angst at being along, their joy at their freedom and their comraderie in finding blogmates?

Sometimes, it takes perspective on being single to realize that maybe we don't have it as bad as our married comrades would think, huh? ;)

it's a conspiracy. all the married girls want you to join them to take you off the market so you don't threaten their men. ;)

I was thinking this same thing this past weekend as I watched Iron Jawed Angels. Women are smart and strong, we don't *have* to have men around to take care of us. Singletons really have it pretty good! Added bonus? No one cares if I do the dishes or not!
