Once Upon a Michelle

Another weekend in San Jose means it was spent relaxing and with close friends; In this particular case, with family too. I was able to visit my two best childhood friends who married each other (how crazy is that?), their precious baby boy and my parents for dinner Saturday afternoon/night. Normally, I’d post a picture of the cutie patootie for you to see – but something I’ve learned from Kristine is that you really shouldn’t put your kids online. You just never know what creeper is out there lookin’, ya know? So – take my word when I say he has a smile that can light up a room, the cutest little sounds that emanate from him and a disposition that would make you think twice about the fact that he’s teething.

After the visit, my suspicions of babyhood were confirmed. They are a LOT of work! Lord knows I am barely able to manage my own life let alone be responsible for another. So, while there’s the tug (every once in a while; don’t get any ideas!) of the biological clock which – is more peer pressure than anything, I’m definitely not ready and confident in that notion. I’m supposed to be married first – right? ;) One step at a time.

Instead, I'll continue living my life figuring out who I am, who I want to be and where I'm going. I'm not doing being selfish yet. And when I have a "craving" - I'll visit my married parental friends and play with the baby a bit, returning him at the end and being on my merry way.
