Must Love Animals
Last night, for the first time ever, I decided to try speed dating. It was a Match.com speed dating event that I paid for weeks ago and was totally going to skip in favor of sitting on my couch in sweats with no bra watching Sex and the City reruns while drinking…
Beer Goggles & Second Base
Let’s lighten the mood a bit from last week’s post to something a bit more humorous. Well, humorous for you, the reader, not for me, the star of this week’s sad tale from the single side. So there I was (no shit), at a small get together with friends at…
