I am an old married lady.

On Tuesday night I passed up beer and bluegrass for chicken casserole and Biggest Loser with my hubby.
Tonight I skipped a party and watched Frasier with my hubby.
I get tired at 11 PM.
I won't shut up about my pet, a fish named Fizzgig (Fizzy for short) and the reef on which he lives.
I schedule grocery shopping.
I get excited when I catch Jeopardy.

"What is wrong with me...?"

Nothing, silly. I think sometimes women, especially those who are aware of mysogeny and oppression of women feel like they can't enjoy things like cooking because that would make them too Susie Homemaker. But don't worry, people (of all sexes) like to make dinner for their significant other. Not only is it something that you're making for that other person, but it's something that is delicious and sometimes exciting to make.
Homework is boring, stupid, and ultimately pointless...so yes, it is TOTALLY natural to rather clean or cook than do it. :P

Nothing's wrong with you - that's what settling down means, I suppose. In college, I went on drinking binges and had sex with anyone who was willing, male or female. Now I dress conservatively, preach about the evils of workplace romances, am quite monogamous, and haven't set foot inside a bar in years. That's what we do. We move on.

You're in a weird liminal state, being in academia right now, but you're doing something good. Even a non-believer can see that.

Thanks. :oD I think it's just strange to see people 3 or 5, even 14 years older than I am, who are still single. Especially because the ones closer to my age are still acting like they're college!
