It's science.

A couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday night, I went to my BFF's for dinner and drinks with her and her husband.  After dinner, we drank wine and laughed and caught up on life.   My best friend started telling a story when she suddenly abruptly stopped.  She said "oops" and started laughing. I looked at her with a confused look....and then at her hubby. "What's wrong?"   I asked. "Oh nothing!" she said, "Mike just doesn't like when I swear."   "You swore??"   I suddenly realized that I was the only one in the room who wasn't phased by her gratuitous language. I looked over at Mike and asked, "Why can't she swear??" He answered casually,  "Well, it's not very lady-like.  And I don't find it attractive." I left their house that night feeling very perplexed. 2 days later, I got a text from yet another girlfriend who wrote that for lent she was going to give up swearing.

The year of the butt.

 Show of hands.....how many of you absolutely LOVE your body?? Ok....I just realized that I can't see you. So I'm going to assume that only a few of you actually raised your hands. If it's more than what I think, then awesome!  If it's less than what I think....then....uh-oh :( My body is far from perfect.  Things aren't as perky as they used to be.  Things aren't as toned as they used to be.  And there are lines where there shouldn't be lines.  But heck, 2 children used my body as an apartment for almost 2 whole years of my life, and as we all know, tenants tend to be a little rough with a home that is only temporary to them ;) Anyway, I'm not talking about the changes your body goes through after this said "residency".....what I am talking about is your body SHAPE. I am a pear. At least that's what Cosmo tells me. If you are a pear like me, then you have a small upper body and a big badonkadonk. Growing up, I always

What's your test?

This is my third entry of the new year.   But you already know that because you are diligently reading all of my entries as soon as I post them...right?? :) In my new years blog, I discussed with you some resolutions, and the fact that I will not be partaking in any of them.  And in my next entry, I delved into some juicy tidbits about my delicious personal life ;) Let's move on to some serious stuff now, shall we?   It's time to get real. In the past 2 weeks, I have been reading all of my friends Facebook status updates....and I have to say....they have not looked good. Many of my good friends said that 2014 was a bad year.  Some even said that it was the "worst year of their lives".   As I read each status update, I thought of the person who wrote it.  All of them friends of mine who are truly beautiful people, inside and out.   Why were all of these people having a bad year? Surely the whole year couldn't have been ALL bad?  I couldn&

Isn't it ironic?

You know when you know something about yourself but you don't really reflect on it much?  It's just something that's in your personality and reveals itself only when the time calls for it.   Kind of like a pot sitting on the back-burner.  Without thinking much of it, the pot quietly warms your food while you tend to other things.  But then, at a certain time, you pull that dish forward and use it to complete your meal. Otherwise.... well, your meal wouldn't be perfect. My dish, or vice as I prefer to call it, comes in the form of a particular type of energy between 2 people......  In the past 2 years, I have been happily single.  I am in zero rush to find that next person in my life, because the few days every now and then that I get to be alone, I greatly cherish.  I am not interested in being in a relationship, but I do enjoy the search. As I've mentioned in a past blog, I joined Match.com in an effort to attract a tall, smart, educated, funny,
