The kids weren't too crazy at school today and they seemed to enjoy playing trivia and their afternoon of games in the gym. Like @figmentfan423 have almost everything done for Christmas. I came home from work and finished our premaking the food for our Christmas Eve dinner, my sister's house, and to take to the in-laws. I still have to stuff hubby's stocking and make our chocolate mousse yule log for dessert.

Okay, here we go again...

Today, I got this strange Facebook friend request from someone I didn't know. I saw that we had mutual friends, though, so I just left it, thinking maybe it just wasn't a name that I had remembered.

Then later in the car when I was with my aunt and my grandmother, she mentions again a guy she knows who she mentioned back at Thanksgiving. Except she mentioned his last name. That's when I realized that it was this guy's MOTHER friending me on Facebook, and I confirmed it this evening after finding his profile. I took one look at his profile and thought "No. Just, no." and then showed it to my mom to make sure I wasn't crazy when I thought the guy was just plain weird and too old for me.

So I deleted the friend request and will be having a very uncomfortable conversation with my grandmother tomorrow. Before, it was cute and kind of something I could just roll my eyes and laugh at. But this crossed the line. Ugh. If she weren't already in bed, she'd be getting an earful right now.

Wow, really? whats wrong with your grandmah?
Sometimes almost feels like she thinks your personal life and love life is her possession to manage.

Well, it's a combination of things really. I'm 21 and have never been in a relationship. I haven't really met anyone I've really been interested in. When I was in high school, looking back, I was more mature than most of my peers, but dating someone older and more along the lines of what I was in maturity would not have worked. And for the past three and a half years, I've been so hyperfocused on school that I haven't had time to date. And even now that I've graduated, it's not top on my priority list. I really don't care if I get married or not.

Before, I've always just tried to remember what the history is for my grandmother. By the time she was my age, she was married and had my father. By the time her daughter (my aunt) was my age, she was married and had a kid. My mom (who was not her daughter, but still) was married for two years when she was my age. So in her mind, I'm at the age where I should be married. Nevermind that she got divorced twice and my aunt is divorcing her husband, so the only young successful marriage was my mom's marriage; in her mind, I'm 21 and out of school and it is time to get married.

She probably also has old, traditional ways of thinking. It wouldn't surprise me if she's also thinking I need a man so I can be taken care of. Not realizing that I'm extremely capable of taking care of myself, thank you very much. She also might be thinking that in order to be happy, I need children, which is definitely, 100% not the case at all.

So before this, I've just always brushed it off, but now I think I need to be firm with her and tell her to stop, because getting friend requests from the MOTHER of a guy she's trying to set me up with is just 1. creepy and 2. crossing the line.

Hello all from Hilton Head Island and its lovely 60+ degree weather! :D

I'm currently at the gym. Wanted to hit it after a long time in the car. Seeing as how I've been up since 4 am and got absolutely no sleep on the way here, I'm convinced I'm a zombie. My grandmother thought I was nuts.

I so get that. I really do not like road trips. I max at about 3 hours, 4 is way pushing it.

Thank goodness, a short day today at work. Think I get out of there around 2. Can't wait. I think I'll go through the motions today of the most minimal work possible, counting down the time to leaving for Christmas . . . ;) :D

*happy dance* you were on early release today. :) Stupid turmoil for you for awhile.

So Happy that you get to start the new year off fresh, this ended better than it could have. :geek:
