no I am not talking about my social life- although I could be, LOL!  My laptop was out of commission for awhile, but my girls picked up the slack.  Actually my love life was out of commission there for awhile, but my girls had some drama, so everyone still got some blogs.  But, the laptop is running and I have a new commitment to the good the bad and the ugly and I am determined to get it all written down purely for entertainemnt value!

So the blog is working the way it should, because several of my friends have been calling and e-mailing freaking out asking me about some of the blogs and taking much reassurance they weren’t me so the anonymous thing is starting to work, which is cool, I just didn’t realize it would backfire that way as well- haha.  So I encourage everyone to keep writing, keep submitting and I am committing to at least one blog a week.  I have to warn you, some of it just may be plain ranting, but I tend to get the most laughs out of that one.  Which reminds me- my original funny for the day- the perfect voice mail:

“If this is a medical crisis, please hang up and dial 911.

If this is an emotional crisis, please text back the number you just dialed with the worb ‘bar’ and code 1,2 or3.  If you don’t know what that means, I am not close enough to listen to your crap anyway.  Thank you and have a great day.

Nite!  Hopefully seomthing juicy after the weekend.  Not that I have a date or anything, but, you know.  I am single in sin city!

Being single isn’t easy- we all know that.  And the dating advice plastered all over your homepage doesn’t help. It always seems to scream, to me at least, “You’re still single!”  However, I recently came across an article that really helped me.  Quite possibly the best dating advice that I’d ever gotten!  In a nutshell, the author said, to rid yourself of all the bad dates and Karma that follow you around and allow yourself to be found.  Cleanse yourself of the I-date-online-because-I’m-just-looking-for-something-to-do-odor and discover a new fragrance! 

So that’s what I did.  Wednesday morning I deleted all my online dating profiles.  I had been thinking about doing it for a while, but didn’t want to let them go.  What would I do with the free hours in my day without the ability to click on the “Who’s Viewed Me” tab? I’d be forced to find something else to do. 

Then it came to me.  Yes, find something else to do!  Do what you love and love will find you, because after all, as women- we are most attractive when we’re comfortable and confident.  Why couldn’t I be found at the book store, in a cooking class, my local volunteer opportunity, at the gym or on a run meet-up?  What was stopping me from being successful meeting people the “Normal” way?  Could it be the odor I was carrying around from before?

 It’s only been a couple days, but I feel better.  No more obsessing over why he viewed me but didn’t write. Not only have I taken up cooking again, but I’m spending more time doing the things that make me happy.  My mind and heart are free to do everything I loved before I became so pre-occupied with the dot come dating world.
