Some may claim they don't have a type. I think deep down everyone does. Oh sure, just like when you stray from your favorite dish at a your favorite restaurant to spice it up a bit, you will stray outside your dating type as well. I've certainly dated a few blonds in my life, but if you look at my track record you will see that the vast majority of guys I dated have had brown hair, brown or hazel green eyes, and pretty pasty white skin (yes, my husband has brown hair, hazel eyes and is pasty white). Unfortunately for me, I also seem to be drawn to the picky eater, can't find the dishwasher, can't find anything in the fridge/pantry/grocery store when sent, what are these things called flowers kind of guy as well. :P I bring this up because my friend B who has been dating a guy for a little over a year now finally saw a picture of his ex-wife. Anyone want to take a guess what she looks like? Yep, you guessed it...B. Now of course not exactly alike, I saw the photo too, but yes, … [Read more...]
I’m a lover not a fighter….
Despite recently punching a girl in the face, I swear I'm a lover and not a fighter. ;) Now I will admit I am somewhat of a cynic when it comes to matters of the heart. I was never one of those girls who had a boyfriend all the time. Not because I couldn't have one (yes, I realize my EGO is out of control :D ) but because I simply chose not to. I was always in awe of my female friends who seem to hop from boy to boy, never having any down time. No down time to really know, in my opinion, who they were and what they truly wanted. They also always seem to be in love all the time. Really, I think most of them were just in love with being in love. That's just never been my style. Perhaps it's because I can count on one hand how many times I've been in love. I certainly believe in it. I know it exists. I just used to be quite picky....well, still am. “You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet.” Now granted Cher (Alicia Silverstone) was talking about her … [Read more...]
I’ll take setting stuff on fire for a thousand, Alex….
Last year at this time I couldn't find a Girl Scout to save my life. It was like they were all trying to earn the Ninja badge or something. The one girl I did finally found made a killing as I panicked that I would not find another girl and cleaned her out. Seriously, I bought so many, I still have some from last year. But this year. The year I am choosing not to buy them, these girls are everywhere. Swarming at the grocery store and changing shifts every hour or so, there are that many troupes. Which is awesome that Girl Scouts is so popular but darn it all, I'm trying to be good. Now I'm not a total stick in the mud. I do donate straight cash to every troupe I run into. That way I avoid the cookies and the troupe gets my direct donation. See, they only make $0.70 for every box they sell. But if I straight up hand them $5, they get to keep the whole thing. They are happy and my jeans are happy they don't have to stretch. Of course, when you run a baking blog avoiding Girl … [Read more...]
