I'm so bitter....watch me walk away.

I have decided that I am truly jaded about love and couples. This thought started today in the library I was desperately looking for a Ray Bradbury book and I feel like I ran from one end to another looking for the one copy they had in stock. I had two of my clients in tow, as we weaved through the shelves of books I noticed a couple practically copulating near a shelf of fiction novels. She would look in his eyes and giggle and he held her closer and as they kissed they would make that smoochy slurp sound, and the world didn't exist around them I'm sure, just a blur of colors and sound. She wove her hands in his hair and they would smoochy smooch smooch again. All this happening of course with in a few moments of me walking towards them. When I saw all that was going on I felt a heat rise in my chest and fill my cheeks....I was annoyed! I wanted to barrel through knocking them out of my way, making old boring paperbacks fly through the air like that beginning scene in ghost busters. Causing a total ruckus, and then when I had everyone's attention, I would proclaim my benevolence for being single! How incredibly happy I was, my plans for the future! I don't need men to be content! I would convince the smoochy girl to join the brigade of single women, lets burn our bras and protest kitchen appliances! Even though I totally love new dishes, I WOULD STILL PROTEST! At that moment anyway. As I walked through the isle next to theirs and rolled my eyes far in my head, straining the muscles to do so, I had to feel a bit sorry for myself for not being fully happy for other women who have found love. Truly? I would trample my own mother if she stood in the way of a good man, anyway I was pretty bitter for a couple of hours after that, but I picked some squash out of my garden across the street and admired the onions and the healthy plants I became a more peaceful Laura, I came inside and put the bounty on the kitchen counter next to the 20 other squash we have. I got caught up on friends blogs, one couple just recently adopted a new baby girl they have been so patiently waiting for. Another couple got to go on a spontaneous camping trip in the mountains and discover how fun doing nothing is! This made me much happier as well. SO I'm going to blame my little inner outrage on just negative thoughts and doubts of myself. In the future I will try and be happy for slurpie smoochy couples in book isles.
