today's topic: the second best thing about being single.

well, there are lots of cool things about being single. outside of being able to be totally independent if you want, being able to date different people is definitely right up there with awesome.

it's really cool to be able to get close to and interact with different people. to try them on for size & think, how would they fit? to have a sat. night date to look forward to. especially if it's an activity you've been meaning to do for 6 years & have never done! (STOMP!)

dating is like a steady diet of icecream. it's a very rich life. of course...which also gets tiring, but every lifestyle does. at least mine gets tiring with a different view. often very good looking views! ;)

tonite's topic: the best thing about being single

wow, sometimes it just rocks to be single, have no kids & no particular responsibilities. the best part about being single is being able to do whatever the hell you want. and not ask anyone's permission or tell them.

today i meandered on my way home from the gym. i wandered thru the tourists at faniuel hall, listened to some great music by a cute guy & his dad, talked to the neighbors on the way home, watched the boys play baseball with mini-bats & generally had a wonderful lazy time.

i thought to self: self, this is really beautiful.

love it.
today's topic: spontaneous combustion: the death of a date.

i don't really have too much to say about this topic, but what i have to say is very emphatic.

there's nothing that makes a girl feel less wanted than spontaneous dates. notice i ended dates with an s, because sometimes spontaneity is a blast. when you know the person well, it's lots of fun. until then or as an exclusive method of dating: it's an insult.

my advice? if you can't even commit to a date with a us, don't waste our time. you know what else we think you won't be able to commit to: ANYTHING.

to those of you who have learned from your mistakes (such as my wednesday date) and actually want to start planning ahead, cool. i won't hold my breath, but it's definitely a start -- i now feel halfway important. you can finish up the other half on the date. if you do show up. ;)

this weekend i heard the nicest comment i've ever heard about being married. a woman who has been married 20 years, when asked how long she had been married, answered...

"not long enough"

today's topic: men of action.

gotta love a guy with a plan. the only better thing than a guy with a plan is a guy who knows how to pull it off. do ya know what ya want? do ya know how to get it? great. we're impressed.

there's nothing more frustrating than someone who's not sure what he wants. there's nothing worse than playing the daisies game. especially if you count badly like i do and start on the wrong phrase for the number of petals you have.

the reason is.....we're not sure what we want either. but we're supposed to be unsure. we're supposed to see what YOU do & then decide what we think about it.

so boys, get your thing goin on & even if you change your mind later, at least we got a chance to see what's up. at least you made a move. even if you didn't pass go and collect $200, at least you aren't stuck in free parking the whole game.
