Texas Irritants

I have a few things on my mind today: allergies, irritants, marriage, and babies.

My allergies are going nuts! I think Texas has decided it hates me. I haven't had one good day, allergy free since I've been home. It could be the fact that I am significantly allergic to cats, and I have three that I love very much. Or, it could be the fact that Texas has every kind of pollen and mold possible. Especially Houston, it's like a breeding ground for all thinks miserable. You hate mosquitos? We've got swarms! You hate fire ants? We've got mountains of them! You hate humidity? It's always about 200% here! Not to mention the fact that it was 80 degrees INSIDE Walmart today. And people wonder why I don't like Texas.
I've been realizing lately that everyone is getting pregnant or getting married. It's ridiculous. My brother said it didn't start happening to all of his friends until he was about 21. I'm 18. Just about everyday I get onto facebook and see that another person is expecting or another person is engaged. What's going on. It's like I completely disappeared and everyone's lives but mine, fast forwarded about three years. Maybe I need to start drinking more water...

  1. don't drink The Water. i know the "everyone else fast forwarded and i got left here twiddling my thumbs" feeling all too well. but i wouldn't trade the freedom and reckless abandon that i got to experience while the rest of my friends were changing diapers for anything. do what you want. live as much life as you can. go to Hawaii just because you can ( i did- AWESOME experience). there's plenty of time to listen to your husbands snoring, and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to be up to your elbows in feces.

    love the post. keep it up! have you read any of my notes on FB? i may have already asked you but since i had my kid my brain has turned into a tepid/lukewarm tofu flavored slushie.
