pressure.

so with the knowledge that my mother has a defined amount of years left to live, the pressure mounts each day. i keep hearing the pleas of marriage and desire for grandchildren from her lips. and i understand where it comes from, but i don't know what to do with it.
this weekend she looked at me and told me to just adopt a child to come play with all of her toys... and when she realized that was not the most realistic concept, she suggested i run off and get married and have children right away. (thanks mom). i'll get right on that...
(you know, all of those men i have lined up out back waiting to marry me, yeah right).
p.s. i love you, now that's an interesting movie. and i come to that from the marriage and children concept. but k.smith and i decided to spend our wednesday evening on the couch curled up with the chic flick. unfortunatly, we are both jaded individuals and therefore found the movie to be utterly ridiculous and unrealistic. (at least we weren't watching it with girly girls who love love).
we also ventured back to our childhood yesterday with a return to fern gully. a good movie overall, but we realized what went wrong in our lives... they're not like the fairy tales all say they're going to be. you don't always get what you want. positive of fern gully though: the teaching about saving the rainforest. kids these days need something like that (but maybe about saving oil).
