Yooouuu…
The phone sounds. Is that my alarm already? How many mojitos did I have last night? Ugh. I crack open one eye and peer over the pillow mound my nose is pressed into. Around me, the light is streaming in. How did the morning come so soon? 5:15. 5:15??!! My alarm isn’t set that early. I pull my arm from under the covers and swat for the phone. Flip it open. Still, there is only one eye open. It’s a text. Who in heavens is texting me right now? Both eyes open. Head rises slowly. Houston…the boy has responded. He remembers me. Good. He wants to see me. Super. No…

What’s in a Name?
It’s important to pay attention when being introduced to someone in case you hit it off with him and give him your number. It would be poor form to not listen during the introduction because, say, you were in a mood and were just making conversation to pass the time while you were texting friends under the table to determine the evening’s next set of plans. Because you would never want to be in a situation where you did not remember his name and then have to ask your disinterested girlfriend if she remembered so you could assign his name…some name…any name…to the number in your phone for when he…

Availability?
So as I get ready to join my urban sisters to observe another chapter in the Sex and the City saga, I’m reflective of availability as it pertains to relationships. I’ve been recently re-viewing the old episodes of the sitcom and just watched the episode where Carrie starts to feel that Aidan is “too available” to her. Hmmmm?? This sounds vaguely familiar…. Are we more drawn to those we sense are unavailable either emotionally or physically? Do we need the challenge to make the relationship worthwhile? In discussions with friends about this issue, its definitely not something that is unusual. We all have our “Mr. Big’s”, someone with whom we’ve…

Housewife Wanted?
I could get used to this. Hot coffee brewing while I’m getting dressed, poured and ready to take with me as I head out the door for the office. Healthy, balanced meal ready and waiting for me when I get home. Dishes washed soon after they are used. House tidy and neat. This could be heaven for the 8 to 5 working class. But is it? Of course not. Why? Because with all this comes a catch. Of course there’s a catch. And his name is Michael. Michael, the 7 year old running around my house who is a terror and watches cartoons all night. This is definitely not heaven…

Must Haves. Can’t Haves.
This is a very difficult process to muddle through. From approximately 50 characteristics, I have to decide my Top 10 Must Haves in a partner and from a different set of 50 ~ the Top 10 Can’t Haves. Originally, I misread the directions and didn’t know I had a limit, so my Must Haves list started with 34. Yeah, the submit button didn’t quite allow that to process through. Seriously, how can one prioritize only 10 traits another person must have to be deemed worthy in ones’ eyes? Okay, perhaps I’m starting to see how people say I’m picky. Truthfully though, most of these are very important and it’s very…
