A Woman's Worth

I just got off the phone with my mother. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Please, someone tell me what one has to do to impress her? Wait don't tell me, that's a rhetorical question. I know what I have to do- get a man, get him to marry him, and do it soon
Oh my goodness, it's never enough- I get a good job in an investment bank and it's - "um, very good, but don't you think that is going to intimidate the men?" I buy a house, and its " Congratulations, but which one will your husband do now?" I really can't win, I just don't understand, if all they wanted me to be was some housewife/baby maker, then I don't know why they sent me to school. I should have stayed at home, and then on weekends gone to Maggi kitchen to learn how to cook for said husband.
It's soooooooooo frustrating, because I don't know what I'm supposed to do - I can apply for a job, prepare for interview - I can fill out the forms to get a mortgage, do a credit check - get a house, but I can't apply for a husband? It's not like I don't want to get married, but there are no offers at the moment, so I just have to get on with my life. Am I not supposed to get a good job, not get a house, until my knight in shining armour comes to rescue me?
Agggggggggh, AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH

Wow, that did feel better, mabye I should just use this blog to vent. Sorry, to those out there in blog world having to read my rants, I feel better now, I think. It's just that I'm so tired of having all these conversations with the parents about my "status", and what I'm doing wrong, or what they think I'm doing wrong. Scaring of the men, by being too intimidating - that really drives me up the wall, I don't want any man that would be intimidated by a woman who has a good job and who's making something of her life, if hes that chicken, he's not the man for me. But don't tell my mum I said so, cos then she'll just tell me pride goes before a fall or something, which is her other favourite thing to tell me. I've heard it all, I'm too picky, I'm too intimidating, I'm too proud, I'm too quiet, I'm too loud, I have too many guy friends......thats her latest one, that she brought up when I told her I was hanging out with my friend Tobi........
So what is a woman's worth? Its' the year 2007, 2 weeks from 2008, and my mum still thinks I'm not complete, until a man comes to save me from myself. Help!!!

First Post

Hello Blog World, and welcome to my blog. I've been trawling through blog world a lot recently and I've come accross so many great blogs out there, that I finally decided to get in on the act. I don't think I can blog as frequently as a lot of you guys though, I think it will be once a week for me......
Anyways, allow me to introduce myself , my name is Sara and I'm a young woman trying to find her way in this world. I bet a lot of you are wondering about the title right? Holding on the movie? Well, believe it or not, there is a film about my exploits, and before you get the wrong idea, I'm no Lindsey Lohan or Amy Winehouse, but I think that regular people can be just as interesting, without the drugs, sex and rock and roll. Sometimes its harder just getting on with life you know, life throws enough drama your way, without one trying to assist it.....
Now, you have got to excuse my conceit, cos the movie isn't all about me, it's mostly about a group of friends, young, single, trying to deal with jobs, family, relationships.....without going crazy. Hope you enjoy reading about us, as much I know I'm going to enjoy writing about me, sorry us............
