"Vows"
I have taken to reading the New York Times wedding pages as a source of career guidance.
Everyone in the wedding pages looks stable, secure and happy. I want to be stable, secure and happy (though not necessarily in that order).
Somehow, I imagine if I can figure out what it is they did to achieve that, then I can do it too.
I know. It's a little bit pathetic.

It's fake. All of it. One big sham designed to make us feel bad about ourselves.
Not that I'm a bitter, about-to-be-divorcee or anything.
And if there was a newspaper article about your life, some of those very same women would wonder how to achieve the life you have. You can't measure your success against any other standard than your own.
Ummm, more like a totally hot, intelligent, funny, and grounded about-to-be-divorcee...
Awwwww, thanks SAS. I feel all warm and fuzzy now - and while I totally agree with The LD and LS, it's hard not to buy into the media and cultural norms hype sometimes. Which I guess is why it's important to have friends willing to slap you upside the head on occasion and remind you of how fabulous your life actually is already.
