and………it’s over
November 2nd, 2009 | Written by hurricanic
First of all, big thanks to our good friend Jared here at hurricanic.com for the brilliant post regarding corn. I’ll take it as a helpful suggestion that I need to be posting more, as well as a helpful suggestion that there’s a reason people shouldn’t know your log-in passwords.
In other news, just so everyone is up to date on the latest and greatest in my dating world, I am once again single. Let that not be understood as “on the market.” I think four break-ups in a year is four too many. Definitely at least one too many for this heart of mine to handle. And so I turn in my dating card here for a while. As one friend said today, maybe 2010 might be my year. I say the more I date the more I realize why I love being single. It really isn’t all that bad.
So in an effort to answer some of your questions, I will share the following:
1. Yes, I had ice cream today. I think it’s impossible to break-up with someone and not eat ice cream. And yes, it does make things seem a little better. Especially when you order sprinkles on your ice cream. Which I did. Who can’t be happy when eating sprinkles on their ice cream?
2. In the next couple weeks I plan on spending as much time as weather and work will allow walking my dog and swinging in my backyard on the sky chair my dad so wonderfully hung from the tree that once supported the tire swing that never moved once it filled with rainwater. Again, I ask, who can’t be happy when they’re swinging? I think people have actually done studies proving that the frontal lobe of the brain gets engaged while swinging. And Kodak? Well…he’s the only male I know who wags his tail every time I walk in the door, cuddles with me at night, and always wants to spend time with me. And so I’m going to take him walking. He’s always so happy when he’s walking. And this weather? I mean, come on. Fall in Missouri is the best.
3. I’ve owned but never watched any of the brilliant series “Arrested Development”. I will be watching those while running on my treadmill or riding my stationary bike. Exercise? It releases endorphines. Endorphines=happiness. I’m gonna get me as many endorphines as I can.
4. I’m going to convince my father to help me build a couple more sets for my indoor photography studio. It’s going to be a cold, cold winter and I’m bound and determined to have enough backgrounds to entice my clients to not stand in the bitter cold. That, too, would make me very happy.
5. I will be spending as much time as I can with the friends in my world that make my life fantastic. In the last part of my relationship here I realized how much I love the people I call friends, and actually most of the time wished I would’ve been spending time with them instead of the man I was dating. Some say that’s a bad sign. It was. And, well…that’s why I’m single again.
well put, friend. welcome back to the pool. i say, this pool kicks ass.
