It’s My Fault I’m Single
Okay, so where do I begin here? Lately I’ve been thinking about relationships and how I’ve managed to feel like the only single one out of my close group of friends. Meaning the ones I just went to Vegas with in my previous post. Out of all those girls, four are engaged, two are living with their boyfriends, leaving me and the bride’s little sister the single ones. I have other friends that are single too, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel the same way too. Trust me, we’ve discussed this.
I started to think about the type of guys I go for. And while some of my friends think I have a specific type, I have other friends who feel like I don’t have a type at all. Then I have those friends that think I have a type and then I surprise them and go for a guy I don’t usually go for. *Suuurpriiiise!* Even though my “types” seem to vary, I came to a realization that the way I meet guys is all the same. At a club, at a bar or anywhere around alcohol. Obviously something needs to change there or I’m going to go through this cycle over and over. Thank Jamie Foxx for making me realize that. Rach also talks about it here.
But today I read a post called “An Open Letter to the Women Who Are Telling Me It’s My Fault I’m Not Married”. My first reaction was “Shit…IS IT my fault?” (not that I’m trying to be married, but in regards to being in a relationship). I once had a guy tell me that the reason why we didn’t work out was because I wasn’t nurturing enough (which btw, an exbf disagrees and says I was very nurturing, haha). My other friend made me realize I’m picky (which I know isn’t a bad thing). And another friend told me he can’t see me with kids because I’m too selfish and carefree. Really?! Well shit, if it’s my fault, it’s my fault. If I’m picky, I’m picky. I know there’s a fine line to that though. I don’t think I’m so picky I’ll pass something up that could potentially be good, but I don’t want to settle for less and be stuck in a relationship that doesn’t make me happy. Why settle for being content when you know there’s that possibility of happiness?
“Because staying in a bad relationship just because it is heading towards marriage is like putting a plastic bag over your head, and just letting in enough air that you can stay alive.” -Brienne Walsh
There are certain things in the article I don’t necessarily agree with but it’s definitely something to think about. The comments have some good point of views and it’s interesting what single women and single mothers are saying. The author also shares two other articles about single women. Read them. Straight up Sex and the City status.
But the one thing to get from this is don’t feel bad that you’re single. I know we feel like we have some type of time line, but don’t settle for less than what you’re worth.
Because We’re Awesome…
Our friend that moved to Hawaii is preggos and since we won’t be able to see the baby too often, we decided to get her a mobile with our faces on it so that the baby will recognize her aunts and uncles!
Did You Know…
…That snow flakes really look like the paper cut outs we used to make in elementary school?
Help Create the Canine Chronicles
A family friend is teaming up with her sisters to launch a book called the “Canine Chronicles: 1900-2000, A Century of History’s Most Notable Dogs!”. But in order to get it started they need our help to fundraise $6500 in 30 days. Check out their site and watch the video to see what the book’s about and how you can help!
Good One.
We’ve seen his “Teenage Dream” video…now he’s featuring 50 Cent. Watch it.
J-Lo the Anaconda
It’s not everyday you meet someone with a 11ft pet anaconda named J-Lo. It seemed like the perfect time to show her since tonight’s episode of Glee is on Britney Spears…and who doesn’t think of Britney Spears when they see a huge snake? Along with the real J-Lo in the movie Anaconda.
After 9 years of having her my brother in law is looking to sell her. For more information check out Craigslist.

Do Actions Always Speak Louder Than Words?
*Sorry if I’m rambling…but it’s been on my mind and I’ve had some alcohol in my system.*
We all know the saying “actions speak louder that words”. And I’ve been in relationships where I waited for the actions to catch up to the words, yet the words just happened to be nothing but words and the actions never led me to believe otherwise. Now the tables have turned. While actions are showing me one thing, the words have yet to be said. And to be honest, no words have been said. I’m starting to believe there has to be some type of balance. A balance between the actions that are being done and the words that are or need to be said. I’m not asking for the three little words, but more of an understanding of one’s feelings. How is it that you have someone by your side but at times, you still feel alone?
Please let me know if I’m talking nonsense.
Root Canal
Yesterday I had my first root canal. I’ve had a tooth ache for the last two weeks and I’m not exactly sure what was wrong with my root but I already had a filling on that tooth. Anyways, I’ve heard stories of people getting root canals saying it hurts and everything but I hardly felt a thing. I was so numb I couldn’t even feel my own lip. A little more than halfway through the procedure the doctor needed to take a couple x-rays and wait for something to dry. While he was doing that he went to check on another patient, so of course I took a picture of myself with the instruments in my mouth. Lol
First off, they put those glasses on me because the light was shining down the whole time. You can’t see it, but there’s this thing in my mouth that lets me rest my teeth on it so that I don’t strain myself trying to keep my mouth open that long. And that green thingie is crazy. It kept the tooth that they were working on separated from the other teeth! How it stayed in my mouth, I have no clue. But hope you got a giggle out of this! Lol
