toaster oven party." I will include a disclaimer that if and when I do get married, you won't be invited. I promise right here and now to never put you through a wedding. I will go away privately, enjoy a honeymoon and come back to celebrate with my friends and family.

Welcome to the 30 something single person's life. I have been to so many eff'ing weddings, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, baby showers, kid birthdays, baptism parties, blah, blah, blah.

Now I'm 33 and I go over to my friends' houses and see all of these things that they got for getting married and it pisses me off! In my opinion, you reach an age where you are too damn old to throw those big weddings. If/when i get married, I would never do that to my friends and family. No way....we've all been to too many of those by now. Besides, most of my friends in their mid/late 30's and early 40's who get married have most of that stuff by then anyway!

I'm throwin' the party. I'm turning 34 and I still need a damn toaster oven.


Now, to address your situation. Come on...be happy for the girl. Especially if you think you want to be around the family for the future. Here's a tip - go online and print out the registry. Then shop around. Often times I will take a registry list and then shop it around. It doesn't have to be from that store. For a baby shower, find a TJ Maxx or a Marshalls or some type of discount store and get a cute little outfit for $10 and call it a day. It will be appreciated and you'll be the bigger person in the end.
