I know she loves them and they are coming to town this month - it was just announced - so for her birthday we're going to try and see them. We aren't going to discuss who I think of when I hear this song, really and truly, nor am I going to take a shot of courage/brain cleaner and text him. For the love of all the that is beautiful - like these Stella McCartney's what the NLLL is wrong with me it's only been a month and oh bloody hell I'm losing my NLLL mind, this is beyond wrong - I need a lobotamy or something

Quirk
I have many quirks. One of them I was reminded of this morning as we were driving over the bridge into the downtown core - this song was on and though it's not this song I digress, though it is on the topic of the future and I'm always one to put the cart before the horse... I want to name my daughters after song names - so they can have a song that can be sung to them. Georgia is a name I've always loved, CEF refused, it's a freaking state name was he would say... oh well then spell it Jorja and torture them. On this lovely side note probably spurned on by the full moon and my lack of sleep - the other song and I know that might be questionable... so I'm willing to negotiate, but if things go the way I suspect they might, I won't have to negotiate with anyone. Nap time and then off for a long drive out of town to the grand parentals for faspa.
I have fished out
My Duffy cd this morning and will be enjoying it while I wait for my hot rollers to set my hair - decent blog content to follow the morning grocery shop/date with my parental unit.
So about tequila
I have decided when it's mixed with coconut rum and lime juice it makes a very potent but fabulous drink. Two of those later and I was having a warm all over feeling... maybe warm enough to the idea that this year is a year for getting my shit together more than it will be about getting into a relationship.
See here's the inside track on my life - I have one degree completed and another almost complete and those are incredibly long stories in and of themselves. Needless to say I realized over the Christmas holiday that I have some dreams I need to pursue to their end - whether anything becomes of them or not. Graduate school - primarily a PhD is the very end goal. I have a plan and I have a game plan to get Ms. J to come with me, in theory. She wants her PhD too, just in a completely different program, and being that we are compatible studiers I figure why not press each other onto our respective goals... so this year includes quitting work - and I've ALWAYS worked since I was 15. Going to school full time (20 credits left and one audited English class), writing the GRE which if it is anything like the MCAT I might just shoot myself, and last but not least apply for the top 7 of my area American schools and 3 Canadian schools, the UNPeace school, and two non-profit related MBA type programs. Now why you might ask, well I don't want to waste a year, I want options and I know that while the later aren't my first choice I do still find those areas fascinating and I know I need to be practical...
So will there be boys on the agenda. This is S&P we are discussing, there will ALWAYS be boys on the agenda, question is if it's just about the looking or more.
Tonight's music selection from An Education, an amazing beautiful movie and Duffy is fabulous, see her in concert if you can.

I'm a Dork...
I just spent $100 online buying more books for my bloated bookshelf...oh well. So I was thinking that for the sake of clarification we need to run down the "List of the Men of S&P" and do a little update.
AB: Do we really need to update him - He was my first, he is the PeterPan Syndrome poster child.
AL: Habitual cheater and AB's competition in the "It Never Should Happen in Hell, but Maybe on this Earth" games
BB: Once my source for free Vanilla Soy Americano Misto's and a good shudder/cringe
BI: Occasional commenter here, true friend and someone I miss chatting with
BV: Frigid and conversation shy and source of my longest and most depressing date, minus seeing the Hangover together - he cringed and I laughed.
CEF: The reason I have changed most things in my life for the better, like my hair colour
Date: Still the all the forms of possible dates - friend, pseudo or the real thing
DB: Still elusive and I haven't decided how much a chase should go into this case - it would require a serious effort
IT: Still trying to reduce these
MW: Source of unwanted sexting - not going to even provide him with possibly construed as having a subtext conversations - as CW says - a duck is just a duck, and a goose is a goose, and duck duck goose is just a game.
NLLL: Still ever expanding
NN: Also could go by Never Notever... Nice No complaints guy though
OM: Source of many snickers for Ms. J and I from the unfortunate jeans, his closetness etc
So there you go - no options - though CW has proposed a set up with her beau's friend, so we will see what the future holds... for the immediate future this weekend involves vodka, a trip to Sephora and some totally awesome menu planning/Whole Foods shopping.
AB: Do we really need to update him - He was my first, he is the PeterPan Syndrome poster child.

More Updates
Sheesh you get the smell of a man off you finally somehow and then they all come out of the wood work or something like that. AL is back. Now if you remember AL was intricately weaved into the infamous night of gin and tequila and goodness knows whatever else I drank that went something like this if you need a recap.
1. AB and I had the talk - the I really like you but I'm happy single talk (First weekend of September folks)
2. Next week was the annual booze fest at AB and roommates place - I attended being the "adult," showed up 4 hours earlier on a sweltering Saturday - homemade mango black bean salsa in hand. We watched Lost and started drinking - gin and tonic, safe... all platonic at this point.
3. Two gin and tonics later AL shows up with Patron in hand and the X's and O's shot glasses come out - two down the hatch followed by another gin and tonic which I nurse (two more shots later on). At this point platonic goes out the window and the odd body part stops respecting personal space, a finger along a wrist, and foot up the back of a leg etc. This continues on for the next 4 hours. AB kept drinking - AL seeing I wasn't up for another gin and tonic so he gets me juice and keeps it coming all while staying by my side - blocking AB and being handsy all the while. I don't like handsy - especially not touching my hair... anyways AL offers to drive me home. I'm thinking well it's a ride home and not a cab on a hot evening...
4. At the door as I hug AB night night, he oh so smoothly says have you seen the terrace (look you know I haven't why ask?) - AL interjects I have and works to hustle me out. I being blonde in another life say No, and get whisked minus AL to the terrace. Talking leads to me crying then laughing then um ya, let's just say things might have gone from zero to wherever if AL wasn't texting AB and I had another location option other than the gym room lockers to be propped against - just saying. So we collected ourselves and so on and so forth - fast forward to me going on a date with AL three weeks later as BR was moving in. Date was interesting
5. Interesting = Habitual Cheater confession. REALLY, oh they sure know how to pick me.
So there we have it AL is back, offering to take care of my sick ass - because he knows AB is out of the picture. And you know what? It ain't happening - I know I'm his perfect fetish and it ain't freaking happening. Why?
Honestly aside from the cheating thing and why the hell is there even an aside to that, I don't know, it's the two year dating minimum prior to engagement he has. Um I'm getting old - so if I date you for two years, engaged for a year at best, that's three freaking years of my life. Bless you but I want kids IN wedlock and NOT out of it, so no. I am not giving you three years of my eggs lives if I have a say in it. At this point in the game a back up reason as solid as that is really good reason to keep the handsy hands off of me. Though he can cook...

An Update
I made mention that I was going to see how BB was doing these days. A little back story so you don't have to read the last post, though you can... In the beginning of our interaction, he seemed sweet, attentive and well normal (you can see where this is going). He disappeared from Sbucks quite suddenly and then low and behold reappeared on Saturday morning as I stumbled in rather scantily clad in my opinion in a sweaty tank and running skirt (which is easily 3 inches shorter than I would ever dare to wear a skirt under normal circumstances). The same day he slipped his number under my bagel and I went home thinking weee, I have a date with a guy who might be less commitment phobic than AB (and that nothing would be "wrong" with him). So being that I hate the phone, I texted him to set up a date*, and was greeted with a seemingly unending sequence of lovely dovey texts. Red flag - big massive red flag, like size of China red flag. But being that I felt like making AB jealous and being the never quit kind of girl I thought I would give him a chance. I picked him up from work that Saturday afternoon - at which time I will confess it was the last place on earth I wanted to be given that I had run 10miles that morning. But I went. And it went downhill fast. In the first 5 minutes in the car I wanted to inflict pain to myself. In the following 15 minutes I wanted to inflict pain on him. Why? He gave me more personal history in those 20minutes than I gave to my therapist in the first year of therapy after CEF and it was the REAL SKELETONS, not the ones in your high school biology class. I smiled my way through lunch knowing that as my therapist says, "Fake 'til You Make It" could get me through. Fake I am enjoying it, fake that he doesn't scare me in that ewww I know WAY TOO much about you kind of way... So the issue then was this...
He gave me free Sbucks every morning... now I am in many ways a practical girl, at nearly 5 dollars a pop - that is 25/week I could smile, flirt, do whatever in platonic terms it took to get my Grande Soy Earl Grey Tea latte. Or so I thought. See the problem was he was like a 14 year old girl in love and I the unsuspecting 19 year old guy. The bigger problem was the back hugs. Back hugs are not mutual. If you hug me from behind, I am not participating, simple as that. I would cringe and normally facing the barista behind the bar, they would see the pained look on my face that I never tried to hide. I stopped going. There is no way on God's green Earth that I am that desperate.
He texted on New Years - a really really cringe worthy text. So... this week when I got desperate enough for tea and short enough on change that I really really wanted a freebie, I was shocked when I got the cold shoulder. No note on my cup, no back hug, no hi, no nothing, not even a free latte. So this would be where Ms. J would stop laughing and say this is a good thing. I am sure it is but I want a free latte. So I guess in the end I need to whore myself out to someone else, boo.
Now just in case you are wondering - I have done it before, and I will do it again - Sbucks owes me as I have single handily put at least one barista through university if not two.
Continuing on my love of SYTYCD - and someone else other than BB, take note of Ms. Stone's request and get on it.

One Man I Wish I Could Marry
Maybe I'm from the frozen north, maybe I'm not, but I have to say this man makes me keel over in laughter every time I watch him and that I believe is one of if not the most important things in a marriage, unlike maybe say the ability to do my taxes. I could be wrong, I am still single after all.

A Confession
If I could chose another life for myself it would be as a contemporary/ballet dancer. I have always had this love hate relationship with ballet - on the hate side my 5 year old ballet class on the love side seeing the Moscow ballet perform in the Kremlin Theatre. In between - So You Think You Can Dance and The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers. I could and have watched hours of dance and CC knows I would trade just about anything to don a pink leotard and en pointe shoes and dance like any principle dancer. But the sad truth is I can't, I can dream about it. Honestly even my "busting a move" is busted. So on that sad sad note, this beauty (please watch it at least twice):
In Honor of a Birthday
Today is Etta James birthday-I love her music, and this iconic song especially. While I think that no one does it better than her-this version has it's own special place in my heart as Jason is my Monday music man - it makes today a few steps above hell.

Sad Beautiful Music
So because I'm of two minds, or maybe because I did love the boy for some unknown horribly complex reason, a feeling I swear some days I want to drink away, I still think of him often. This song reminds me of that/this feeling, but it's also just plain beautiful.
CEF and the Challenges of Dating (Using Bullet Points)
In reference to a comment on a previous blog I have decided to parade out on of the skeletons in my closet, that oddly affects my ability to date.
We all have skeletons - this one happens to be a 6ft plus skeleton of CEF... Now I will say that my main reason never to talk about him is well it's a small world and the last thing I need is in this small world to have him find me under a new open frequency - the rest have been closed to the best of my ability - so I will say if for some bizarre reason the story resonates - you think you know him - please keep it our little secret - it avoid me filing that restraining order I'd been meaning to do and shutting down this blog like the last one and other events that would follow.
Okay on to more happy talk, or something like that - actually you may like I am going to, go get a mug of Baileys with coffee added or something appropriate to make this go down a little cheery.
I don't limit my sharing to the blog, no I am one with little self censorship - with the life I've had to this point and more importantly the jobs I have had - it's meh seen it all, what's the point in candy coating it. That however does not work for the whole get to know you process. I have found that dates don't mind some aspects, however the flashing sign a mile high saying RUN, is the fact that I was once engaged.
I have taken that fear to mean:
1. I was/could be now ready for big commitment which I guess could be intimidating for some, though if you're not and 29-35 I guess it's a good thing I know that now and not say 6 months from now when you pull out some closet Peter Pan like shit.
2. I was either dumped therefore permanently scared or possibly a little off (which I am anyways - we all are, just saying) and or I did the dumping and thus can be a cruel heartless bitch.
I can. I was. And note I will be if the need presents itself again. I dumped my abusive, controlling, seriously missing a few marbles fiance on his manipulating sloth like ass. It was brutal. My people pleasing self felt like a bitch greater than Janice Dickinson, and sure it crushed me. BUT I will never apologize for it - because if someone is expecting me to apologize then well they would be implying:
1. I had the foresight to see that once I got engaged that CEF wouldn't become the controlling nutbar he became
2. I should have gone along with it - got married, moved half way across the Northern Hemisphere to become his mother/shrink/pet/victim and ultimately party to the lie he built for the world to see.
So that was long and a little interesting and maybe or most likely made you feel like Googling pictures of puppies. I know that the dating world is cruel and vulnerability is a harsh thing - but the point to all this sharing is - in bullet points again.
1. I will say that it gets better - that's why I blog - though it's not a witness to the getting the better part, oddly the opposite.
2.For me and everyone else dating, remember that it's a messy process but do you do to remain vulnerable, laugh and keep your head up - we're all in this together. That means none of you get to find someone before I do....
My solutions: I bitch, laugh, run and became the girl with a bottle of vodka in her freezer at ALL times, because we know that it is always my friend - gin and tequila are not.
We all have skeletons - this one happens to be a 6ft plus skeleton of CEF...

Side Note
I may be a little crusty in the heart, and I might not like children at present, but Lord she's just darling - wonder if I could order one like her for say about 5 years from now - like in baby form though...
Ask Me
I dare you.
What pray tell?
Out. Like a date, a date date.
No?
Why not?
Shy?
Oh?(Well being shy can be cute, sweet, honest, sincere - it is also a red flag) so let me do it.
As we know from history OM went up in a closet case colored cloud of calamity - alliteration aside, the fatal error or truth telling moment of our interaction was that I was the one who came up with the witty email and tried to charm him in a way far beyond a certain blue dress or eyelash batting (does anyone do that these days?). Personally for me a man who can't initiate is destined to be skinned alive not only on this blog but also by me. Maybe I am jaded, just too many man children running around - you have to test them with a little flame or hook to see what they're made of, or maybe it's like X says. Relationships are a dance, an equal give and take partnership, if it's lopsided you fall and someone get's smooshed/crushed in the process. In the end your weakness will find their way to the bottom side of my soft gray BCBG stiletto pumps if you can't man up.
Now now let's let my softer side speak for a moment. The issue is quite simply two things - if I'm not worth a little discomfort now in your life then you aren't really interested (my opinion) and because I'm a strong personality - if I know you're intimidated by me, I'm like a shark I can smell fear, and then well you're done for.
So what then, well be friendly, sincere and avoid eyeing me up or at least do it discreetly initially, get to know me and then use the email I've linked or just ask me for coffee - one can never be too caffeinated - and when I'm caffeinated - I'm a happy person who yaps endlessly - you'd only have to show up for the date - really quite simple.
Consider it.
Flowers work too.

Man Children...
Not that I need to bring any 20 something year old woman's attention to the pandemic sweeping the northern hemisphere, but if for some reason you've been trapped somewhere for the last 5 years doing something more important, like shoe shopping let me inform you.
Man Children - they are everywhere and they come in various forms - Reformed, Relapsed and Permanent Peter Pan.
Reformed cases can be diagnosed as having/being the following: BI is a living example of this category - he has embraced responsibility while understanding that you can still enjoy youthful activities - these men make good calming partners and safe havens for dysfunctional Type A's who need to have the pole from their ass removed... or just somewhere to feel safe and decompress.
A former Peter Pan case, who shed the permachild syndrome by embracing some of the following:
Commitment to a job and/or a partner
Timely bill payments
Ownership of either or both a car and residence
Maintenance of said car and or residence
Grocery shopping/cooking for oneself
Producing offspring in a responsible way, i.e. not like Little Wayne or whatever he calls himself
Relapse Cases can be diagnosed as having the following:
Achieved the above, but somewhere in the process they snap - they decide that the world is a scary place and the Lost Boys are where they would rather spend their time. These men normally end up 35, divorced, late on child support and wondering why the world is so cruel. Suck it up buttercup, you left the nest no going back is my view... Yes some of these cases are those who end up being coerced into commitment, but for the most part they are just weak, just saying.
Sooo, that leaves us with the Peter Pan's of this world - and AB is going to serve as our example.
Peter Pan's are a sticky business...
In AB's case, he has a part time job that apparently pays the bills for his apartment/phone/utilities and more importantly his drinking. Said part time job allows for plenty of free time to spend on his art - a graphic comic book of sorts - which I will say had amazing art - he does have two art college degrees... anyways
The remainder of his time is spent socializing - partying w/alcohol is a regular past time, about as regular as his trashy female friends namely a certain cheating ex. Oddly enough his guy friends aren't an issue, sure they're young but for 25ish most of them have their shit together. And while he says he would like commitment and children and all that...that isn't the real issue. The real issue is AB like other Peter Pan's are a safe place - they are the best guy friend who makes you laugh, can cook, remember important events and basically make you think all those happy thoughts that make you fly - then they drop you on your ass when you need them most, like say standing in a pharmacy buying Plan B at 7am on a Friday, when he decides to go cold. Bless him, I loved him - but I'm looking for my reformed case and he won't be one of those in this lifetime.
A similar subject video - we need a little music around here...
Man Children - they are everywhere and they come in various forms - Reformed, Relapsed and Permanent Peter Pan.
Reformed cases can be diagnosed as having/being the following: BI is a living example of this category - he has embraced responsibility while understanding that you can still enjoy youthful activities - these men make good calming partners and safe havens for dysfunctional Type A's who need to have the pole from their ass removed... or just somewhere to feel safe and decompress.
A former Peter Pan case, who shed the permachild syndrome by embracing some of the following:
Commitment to a job and/or a partner
Timely bill payments
Ownership of either or both a car and residence
Maintenance of said car and or residence
Grocery shopping/cooking for oneself
Producing offspring in a responsible way, i.e. not like Little Wayne or whatever he calls himself
Relapse Cases can be diagnosed as having the following:
Achieved the above, but somewhere in the process they snap - they decide that the world is a scary place and the Lost Boys are where they would rather spend their time. These men normally end up 35, divorced, late on child support and wondering why the world is so cruel. Suck it up buttercup, you left the nest no going back is my view... Yes some of these cases are those who end up being coerced into commitment, but for the most part they are just weak, just saying.
Sooo, that leaves us with the Peter Pan's of this world - and AB is going to serve as our example.
Peter Pan's are a sticky business...

Spending a Day in Bed...
Coughing/Hacking and Blowing out green goo-ness should in theory be lame. But not today no today I caught up on all my TV watching and courtesy of Ms. J found this amazing website. These women are my heroes, they talk like me when I've had a few but I assume they're sober, maybe not. Oh well.
Check it out: Badder Homes and Gardens
Check it out: Badder Homes and Gardens
Last Weekend...
So we are going to back track a moment or two... since well I have the luxury of Ms. J's older laptop for the day so that I don't go insane stuck at home with a grand total of like 8 channels, when you subtract the French and Chinese language channels, and well you should throw out the government sponsored ones as well - they are never much fun... anyways.I still can't really breathe and my body doesn't want to let me sleep, go figure. So I get to blog.
Now, I am going to divulge some information, so that if you were a really good stalker you can find me weekly... note if you do find me one of these times, make sure I've completed all my coffee first - it ensures I'll be nice to you and even if I'm not that the coffee won't end up on you...
I have a weekly date with my father at the local high end/organic grocery store/chain - we have coffee, I talk about my life and we swap recipes etc - it's an odd relationship no doubt. It was already odd enough, this week I added whispered yelling as my voice trying to hold in there and he added so how are you and AB? Oh bless your soul dear parental unit. So I had to tell him that AB is fine. But AB is a man child, an epidemic sweeping this nation great in size and a love for a particular sport, but while I may love him, and he in a drunken text may have claimed the same... I am putting my life on hold while he figures out if at 31 he's ready to shed his Peter Pan like ways.* So I left out the drunk text, the pseudo dating and as a whole glossed AB into a neat bundle in an attempt to reassure him that no more CEF like characters would be entering the picture and that maybe, just maybe one day I can meet a normal boy er man. Though as I learned in my blog surfing this morning, "who needs romance when you can have complication" that is sort of my mantra these days, though I don't know if it should be.
*Oddly enough he was Peter Pan's shadow for Halloween...

Please Somebody Diagnose Me
Every time I get sick, and I mean like sick sick it is always the same way. It follows this course of events.
1. Malaise/Tired - when am I not these days
Day 1
2. Sudden onset of productive cough
3. Followed shortly with raw through, not swollen glands sore throat, like holy hell you can't pay me to cough sore throat.
4. Sore throat up to the back of my sinus cavity sore, and ear ache with each cough - not ear infection ear ache.
5. Laryngitis
By Day 2-3
6. No voice, no energy, fever
7. Sinuses are fully involved
We are at Day 4 after having my ass in bed all weekend drinking lots of cough medicine and liquids, and reading through the entire Twilight saga again... and getting worse.
Long and short in a period of 3 days I go from marathoner to sounding like emphysema patient and feeling like someone took sandpaper to the entire inside of my upper respiratory tract.
So that there folks will be my blogging for a while, I'm taking sick leave. Yay me

So What Now?
I have sent out my resume again, and likely again and again and again after that... work sucks.
On an equally cheery note my stress has resulted in a cough and sore throat, fatigue and yay me an inability to sleep except on the train. I can sleep there no problem...
N and I were discussing where to now, as the young ones get married and we are still trying to find anything of substance. In a world that still believes there is truth in the Bachelor we are finding the search frustrating. I'm stuck on DB in a bizarre way and I can't figure out what if anything to do with that. The only men that ever seem to look at me these days are after my runs when I look a fright - and I wonder if they are staring at the wetness of my clothes rather than me... I could go the route of having my dad arrange dates, culturally that wouldn't be too far off (arranged marriage is an accepted though rarely used in North America custom - in the Mother land it was common)...
So instead of trying to solve world peace, the singleness epidemic or why people actually are shocked about an affair on the Bachelor when that's what he's doing himself is it not? I am going to go leave my blessed office and head home to something - not quite sure what, maybe a bowl of cereal?

Dude
Okay so I normally reserve the title's language for my after work texts to Ms J where I lament about life and all that, but the lamenting has to start now.
Now most days, like 86% percent of the year I am fine with being single, dating and whatever - but right at this exact moment I'm oddly not. See here's the problem - Facebook has been inundated with fresh onslaught of baby photos, many new babies and some from very proud (rightfully so) mommies and all the gushing of ooo's and ahhh's that ensue. On top of said wonderfulness is an equally large run on marriages and engagements from wee ones mostly - kids I've mentored in the past, and hell they are still kids to me. I don't care that they may be 19-20, they don't get the right to get married until I do, and well I don't want to right at this hot moment.
It all comes tied in with the realization - oddly enough again - that I miss being kissed, which yes is tied into I still miss AB and you can hit me for that, I don't care. But really every time I see an ad or a show with kissing I find myself flinging myself at my TV in horror. While it's a good abdominal work out, it's not good for much else. So there you have it, the world is actually functioning probably right on schedule, I however want nothing to do with it.
But I agree this is really cute:

So...
I've overhauled things, and while I'm not sure I like it, I'm not sure what else to do about it for now. Plain and simple I got tired of the white and while it's not quite what I wanted, it is very much a homage to some aspects of my life, so it will stay for now... and yes I am aware it is a little difficult to read, I have to alter the background photo lighter

Shoes
So while we (I) am looking for that ring, I am also shockingly looking at your shoes. Yes your shoes. Shoes basically sum you up in a quick pass over if of course that ring isn't there. Now you may think me crazy, then again you likely already do anyways.
I wish I could show you an example from Ms. J and my recent trip (but that would reveal who I am, no?), sitting behind me at a cafe is a man dressed in expensive casual attire, however he has on equally expensive dress shoes. While he is in a shirt and polo, he has his socks pulled up and dress shoes. This would be the occasion for less formal footwear. My assumption at this sight is he either has spent a large amount of money on said shoes and none left over for more appropriate footwear or he's really just clueless about his image...
I know it seems unfair, it's usually the duty of a girlfriend to mold and shape your errors...but since you might have one and I have no one to nag - AB was even decent enough to avoid critique...
I offer these suggestions - one pair good/new looking/well taken care of/comfortable black dress shoes and the same in a chocolate brown color. One pair of casual shoes, runners for exercise (of course), and some kind of summer shoe unless you live in the far far North... but no chunky mandal looking thing... Obviously there is room for personal style and taste and those get bonus points if you pull them off. Before you start complaining one quarter of my shoe collection sits under my desk at work and it includes:
3 different styles of black shoes (two w/different heel heights, one suede 4inch wedge - almost same as picture to give you an idea of what a "wedge" is - don't her toes look SO comfortable?)
1 pair gray suede wedge (2 inches)
1 pair purple suede pumps (2 1/2 inches)
1 pair teal suede flats (1 inch)
1 pair teal suede flats (1 inch)
1 pair brown leather sling back (2 1/2 inches)
My other office has two pairs black shoes, one pair brown. At home I have more than I really want to count because I'm always on the hunt for more to "round out the collection." Really is it too much to ask for a man to have 5 decent pairs that cover all the basics?
Simple, no?

Rings...
A new male entered our work place this week – alarms went off, a code lipstick was issued and in general chaos ensued. In a building of 96% females and 50% of those are single, fresh meat does not go unnoticed, especially when they have an Aussie accent...But before we go putting him in the memory shoes of my Mr. Big and in doing so replacing that memory with a better option, and one that isn’t 15 years my senior either, I need to convey some terrible news.
He has an extra toe.
Actually he’s married.
No wedding ring.
He’s married, but does not wear a wedding ring. This is one of my pet peeves. As a single woman living in a city where it is more common to be in a common law relationship, it’s already hard to figure out who’s free to look at and who’s not. Further still I don’t understand the no ring concept. If you have allergies there are a variety of options, if it’s cost, there are even more options – the cheapest custom rings on Etsy are below $100 or slightly more expensive.
Now I am comfortable with being labelled a traditionalist – I support marriage, and I have no intention of being shacked up before I am married. Note I don’t care which humans get married to each other, if you are willing to commit for life to the person go for it. I feel that if you man or woman choose to not wear a ring when you are married you are saying two things, one I’m not proud that I am married, and two I am free to be treated as a single person, you can flirt with me, you can look at me and you can try and woo me or whatever you want to etc.
So am I alone in this? Would you wear a ring and why or why not?
And I leave you with this is gem, the truth of Beyonce...

So...
I have serious work drama swirling about me and it will likely continue for some time so aside from my bi-weekly movie/dinner date with Ms. J, I doubt I'll be dating anyone. Why? Well I don't think me frazzeled/exhausted is a really attractive side - so unless they are running dates it's going to be break time for me...
So on a lighter note, despite my desire to keep myself as annoymous as possible, I'm going to offer this, I think we can play some games to learn more about me - we'll start with guess my job/where I work in a twenty questions format.
In the meantime a sample of what Ms. J and I did to occupy Christmas Eve day, watching hours of SYTCD, sad and beautiful all at the same time

Maybe...
Because my life is eerily close to a Grey's Anatomy plot line some days but I doubt that is why I love their soundtracks, an example of a song I normally turn up and dance along to at the end of a day like today:
Challenges
I write to find peace. Sure I run to do the same thing - running is the slow release, writing is a pop the balloon like action for me. I can rarely empty the entire contents of myself out on the pavement, empty every corner of my soul. In writing I find there is a security to do, but it normally escapes in a more emotionally violent/forceful way... I digress. The point - the point is this blog is going to be a rare moment of truth, a glimpse into the world of me.
The billboard on the wall of train station this morning had a Yellow Pages ad, "Heading to a job you hate?" I chuckled, snapped a picture to send to Ms. J and hopped aboard a train to a job I hate. Why? Well I have staff, and we will leave it at that... so the goal is to keep my head above water - find some kind of peace and count the days to September when I get to invest in more debt to hopefully find a future...
