spinster

I just gotta laugh at myself (some more)...

I realized that my old boyfriend count was off...

Bob found me on Facebook (after more than 20 years!)
Cal (also previously known as Mike, Butterscotch, and Susie) caught me on Gmail chat.
Russ popped up on G-chat as well.
Morgan (aka Sean) and D. left Yahoo messages.
AND JJ texted me with the news he and Tammy are now engaged.

Feel free to smirk and roll your eyes; yes, I've had a number of boyfriends, interests, relationships,and multiple marriages during my adult life. It's kept life interesting, and my heart is still open.

Seriously, I DO believe in remaining as amicable as possible and being friends with exes (and I guess that shows). :)

But it does make me rather aware and thoughtful (note: lonely sometimes, but not unhappy or profoundly depressed by any means) of my currently single status.

But you HAVE been married — I think in order to be a spinster, you have to never have married in the first place. :)

I think you're more of a rolling stone, myself. :)

picky (but generally true)...

I tend to agree with this. ^_^

I think I'm going to start using the word spinster and "take back the word" as a matter of pride.

Oh hun, you're no spinster. You're one of those swinging Divorcees I always heard about when I was kid back in the sixties.
