rite of passage

being a single woman, it's difficult to feel you can compete sometimes in the ladies' world of measurement. you know, how many kids do you have (0), what about your house (?), what kind of pets do you have (0), what is your guy up to (?), who did you have over this weekend (0), where did you & your guy go recently (?), aren't you crazy tired from it all (?).

finally i scored on the hospitality/entertainer scale, with my first ever dinner party for 10 ladies. housewarming/birthday thing. 3 ladies present were master entertainers & they raved.

smashing success. food, ambience, company. people didn't want to leave...

this is huge for someone who is actually afraid to cook. yes, it's true.

i stayed home, i cooked, i conquered.

score one for me. rather, score 10 for me for who i had over this weekend.

whee, i am ON the scale at last.

turnabout is fair play

i've kept in touch with mr. busy off & on over the past few months & apparently he feels it's time to meet up. we're going to do a mutual b-day dinner when he returns to town.

i've found past exes tremendously helpful in getting over recent ones. since i seem to have to have my attention on at least one guy at a time (or else i get unreasonably bitter, somewhat like a guy without sex i suppose) i have found this strategy very useful. it's another reason to keep exes around as friends.

besides, i like these men. and they like to be useful and helpful. i can't let them down, it's better for their ego if i assign them something useful to do. doesn't matter if they don't know what it is they're doing exactly...
