I am 40 and single and have been in 17 weddings! But, I wrote a fairy tale about a princess like me-www.PrincessBubble.com to show girls you can have happily ever after even if you don't find a prince!

PK, I've got to say that I have never seen anyone so laid-back about house buying. It was kind of cute. ;-p Yeah, nm pretty much said what I was trying to say.

I still giggle every time I think about your reaction to what I said.... Kat: What did you do today? PK: Oh, I bought a house. Kat: WHAT?! You are.. so .. casual.. Or whatever it was that you said. It makes me smile. :) Thank you for the thought. The love is appreciated!

She didn't need shower gifts (although, she's not one to refuse a gift card!). But a celebration of God's blessings upon her and of the milestone (one of many in a person's adulthood) would have been perfect! =) Wish I had thought of it. nm:

She seems to me to be talking about recognizing a rite of passage that we usually ignore, and creating a new ceremony/celebration for it.

As a matter of fact, you CAN register at Home Depot! :)
