Special thanks to my good friend and fellow single lady Lauren for sending this to me. I just had to share, because, well, I’m pretty proud to be an imaginary board-pinning, Anthropologie-loitering single woman. High five and cheers, girls. Cue the Beyonce.
You’re Sending Out Fancy Invitations, I’m Pinning Things To An Imaginary Board Aug. 8, 2012 By Stephanie White
You’re registering at Williams-Sonoma, I’m loitering at Anthropologie.
You’re excited to settle down with your husband-to-be, I can barely commit to a Facebook profile picture.
You’re polishing your new ring, I’m counting that last rain storm as a car wash.
You two just saw Dudamel at the Bowl, I just YouTubed Bieber’s newest video featuring Big Sean.
You’re sending out fancy invitations, I’m pinning things to an imaginary board.
You’re hanging with the soon-to-be in-laws, I’m making small talk with a homeless man in Westwood.
You just hired a landscaper, I just went to Yogurtland. [...or Skinny Dip/Menchies over here]
You’re picking out your white dress, I’m wearing a shirt from 10th grade (hey now, it still kinda fits).
You’re grocery shopping for two, I’m eating trail mix for dinner.
You’re writing thank you notes on monogrammed stationery, I’m instagramming my latte.
You’re making seasonal soups with your new immersion blender, I just microwaved my dinner in record time.
You’re thinking about getting a puppy, I managed to murder my succulent.
You guys just bought a Biscayne Ottoman at Restoration Hardware, I just found two quarters and a dime in my Craigslist couch.
You’re planning your honeymoon, I’m considering my night out in Silver Lake a staycation.
You’re in bed by nine, I’m watching old episodes of Felicity on my MacBook until two a.m.
You’re choosing fabric for your wedding day bunting, I just had to Google what that even is.
You two are going cake tasting, I just choked on a tofu sample in the middle of the Whole Foods salad bar (a stranger heimliched me, don’t worry about it).

I just got engaged and thankfully I still get to enjoy all those single lady behaviors just as much. Engaged, yes. Responsible, boring adult, nope. Not me! And that is a-okay with both me and the mister! Maybe one day

Haha!! I love this, it’s hysterical!! I’m engaged, but since my fiance and I work completely opposite hours , I still spend a lot of “single” time to myself and with my girlfriends. I miss him a lot, but have to admit, I also kind of enjoy getting the best of both worlds sometimes!
