True Story:
This past Thursday night I went on the same date with two men. My gay friend arranged this date with another man, who insisted that he take BOTH of us to dinner? He approached my gay friend in a bar the week before, where I made a 5 second introduction and went about my night. So, I found it very strange that he was insisting I join this date with my friend? We decided to just go Knockout Blondeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11834022303564488303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116816724506223254.post-57664839278554362962011-08-13T12:17:00.003-04:002011-08-14T12:31:50.629-04:00Babies on the Brain
As I scroll through my friends on Facebook, I find more and more babies in the profile pictures. I would say about 98% of my high school class is married and maybe 75% with kids. It makes you start to think you are either doing something wrong or live in an alternate universe.
I stumbled across this article in the New York Post and realized I made a life choice years ago.

I have turned my focus to getting in shape and reinventing my image. I have literally been running my ass off, toning with Pilates and pretending to focus on better nutrition. I am focused on finding a new career path and perfecting my networking skills.

My first class was Physique 57. I wanted to become a hard body like Kelly Ripa and thought I was well on my way after the first class! Who knew "thigh dancing" would be something horrible and painful! The class targets key points on a woman's body, but it is SO repetitive and boring.

I enjoyed an outdoor dinner at Spice Market with a good friend, then met another group at The Standard. Two more gin and cucumber martinis turned a simple night into an unforgettable one. I surprised myself by picking up Justin Bieber's long lost older brother (with a more mature haircut). I am not sure how it happened, but one minute I was hearing Knockout Blondeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11834022303564488303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116816724506223254.post-18749437158376058002011-07-06T22:47:00.005-04:002011-07-11T23:05:57.146-04:00My BadI will admit I have been glossing over many new life issues by going out as much as possible. So it is only fitting that I ended up in a place I never thought I would be again, in the arms of the man I once feared. You may recall my post from the night before I left for Christmas when I basically karate kicked this guy out of my room. He then proceeded to aggressively text and call me from Knockout Blondeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11834022303564488303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116816724506223254.post-62596991208659589352011-07-03T22:33:00.000-04:002011-07-06T22:48:26.187-04:00Home Is Where the Heart IsI flew home completely exhausted after a full week of going out every night. In my opinion, there is no better place to spend the 4th of July than in the south. It had been about 7 months since I had last been home and I was determined to soak in as much sun and saltwater as possible. What I did not expect was a text from my first love/boyfriend asking to see me.
