There will be no weddings in my future, royal or otherwise. Not that I expected there to be. I’ve never had the paint-by-numbers approach to relationships. I haven’t experienced (or engineered) the standard progression of fall-in-love/get-married/buy-house/produce-offspring. Nor will that ever be a part of my space-time continuum. And that is ok. But I am most decidedly single. Again. This must be my natural state and I should probably stop trying to resist it. There are enough BIG LIFE ISSUES on my shoulders right now anyhow, without trying to manage interpersonal interactions with another human. But I can’t deny it is still sad-making. Get hopes up / have hopes dashed.
How about five good things for this fine Friday?
- Herzog Enters ‘The Cave Of Forgotten Dreams‘ - movie opens in Minneapolis on May 6th.
- 25 Abandoned Yugoslavia Monuments that look like they’re from the Future
- Catherine Breillat’s The Sleeping Beauty is at the top of my list for film fest picks this weekend. Also Cat in Paris with the kid.
- Ahh, cool papercraft! I don’t have the patience to build it but my son does.
- Now this is a real Prince…a really awkward one. Prince Charles, attempting to breakdance, way back in 1980. But hey, A for Effort!
The kid and I are suburb-bound soon to blast our cares away with laser tag, bowling, skeeball and good company. There is much more going on this weekend. St. Paul Art Crawl, Craftstravaganza, Heart of the Beast’s May Day Parade. But I will be requiring a certain amount of solitude and instead plan to spend some quality time with a page-turner or two.

I’m late to the game on this one, but I needed a few moments to really think about what you wrote. I had really great words, (I think.) But knowing you feel like this and I know, (maybe,) how that feels… has left me speechless. Sure, I could tell you that this means you’re a step closer to the right thing, but really all I want to tell you is that I’d be glad to buy you a cup of coffee and listen. Hang in there, amazing mama.
