“I wanna rock n‘ roll all night… and party every day”

Maybe it just goes with the territory of the gray hairs that seem to keep on popping up on my head. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I’m in my early 30’s and no longer in my 20’s. All these years I always said that age is nothing but a number. I suppose to a degree, it is just that. But once upon a time I would go out on week nights just to hang out at the local coffee shop with friends and shoot the breeze. I’d stay up til 11 and wake up at 6. It could be that my work hours are throwing me off. I get up for work at 5:30 am Monday thru Friday so that I can be at work by 7. But I can’t just blame on my body on being tired because although that’s the case half the time, it’s not the case all the time.

It’s 8pm on a Saturday night. I just sat down with a bowl full of strawberries and blueberries - and a glass of wine that goes perfectly with it, I might add. I also just got a text asking if I wanted to go out and grab some dessert or something. No thanks, I reply. I’m in for the night. Once upon a time I would’ve jumped at the chance to go out like that. But now? Now I’m in for the night. I’m content with lounging on my sofa and watching something on tv, or reading, or sitting here at my table and blogging.

Could it be the company aspect of it? Most certainly. While the person who asked me out is a perfectly acceptable person, it’s really not that difficult to say no to him. So if it had been someone else that asked me the same thing? Well… let’s just say he’d have to be Prince Charming in order to have gotten a different response from me. Of course my other assumption is that Prince Charming wouldn’t have asked either because he’d want to be staying in as well. But who knows! After all, these are all assumptions, and you know what they say about assumptions…

I suppose I could sit hear and ponder why it is until I’m blue in the face. Perhaps it is simply because I’m content right now with where I’m at. I’m content at spending a night in - by myself - that is unless Prince Charming comes along, in which case I won’t be by myself ;0)
