Climbing in Skirts

There must be more to life than finding a mate and reproducing (I am serious about this folks).

The scientist in me wants to discover some uncharted territory. Anyone can do the mate/reproduce thing. It's one thing to do that but it's another to do it well.

A friend of mine announced around Christmas that she was pregnant and that she had planned to have her 1st kid by the time she turned 30. I nearly choked. That was a phrase that I never expected to hear from a friend of mine. It's not that we are kid haters. It's just that most of us have this laundry list of things to do before then. Travel, pose naked, career, becoming financially stable, etc. Kids were on the timeline somewhere around 35ish.

I will be 30 next year and I have no desire to be married. Some people think that I am a freak for saying that but it's true. If it happens, it happens. I can take care of myself. I have a house. I have the kitchen aid mixer. Doing it for the tax write off just isn't worth it. I want something bigger.

I don't plan on remaining single for the rest of my life. But should that happen I think that I will be ok with that. "I am at home with the me. I am rooted in the me who is on this adventure."
