SINGLE LADIES

Family curse? Call it what you will, but there’s got to be some explanation behind the perpetual state of singleness that my sister, my cousin, and myself find ourselves in. Out of the ten cousins on my mom’s side of the family, every last one of the seven boys are taken while we three girls remain as unattached as can be. Did I mention that we ladies are all in our mid-to-late twenties? Or that even our cousin who’s still in high school is in a relationship – and we aren’t? What’s happening here?! The crème de la crème is that other family members have not only taken note of it but have spent time pondering the matter. Recently my oldest male cousin (who’s getting married this April) posted this gem on my sister’s Facebook wall (yes, I just referred to Facebook) entirely out of the blue:

“Don't worry about the whole being single thing. You are dealing with some kind of higher force. I discovered this one cold winter evening when I realized that every male on the Fisher side of the family is in a relationship and every female is single. Fisher Phenomenon at its finest.”

Whatever it is, I hope that this ‘phenomenon’ is nearing an end, partially because I think we girls are pretty darn amazing and deserve to find someone special, but even more so because I don’t want any other people in my family to have to spend a “cold winter evening” mulling over our singledom.

In the meantime, it’s time to enjoy Christmas festivities, and then it’s off to Bavaria. . . I mean, Leavenworth. . .to spend quality time with the Fisher fam., including every single significant other of the male cousins. Of course. If you feel inclined to get me something for Christmas, a nice gentleman for me, or my sister, or cousin, would be more than welcome.


Merry Christmas to you and yours!
