It's been a while...way too long in fact! Part of the problem is, I haven't much to update in terms of great/funny dating stories. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember the last time I went on a date. Don't get me wrong, I haven't been a hermit. As a matter of fact, I've had some of my most fun nights out in the past couple of weeks. But, that said, I have finally (and I mean FINALLY) came to terms with embracing being single. My profile is officially coming off match.com on January 27 (that's when my subscription runs out). It's not to say I won't go back, but I need to take a break. I need to take some "me" time and not worry about those stupid boys. Yes, I still talk to a few. Wish I was dating a few. But, overall my life is so full right now, I frankly just don't have the time nor the energy to put into dating. I'm really focusing on 'me' for the next 2-3 months.
Speaking of which, I joined a weight loss competition at my new gym. About 2 months ago a friend convinced me to go with her to Title Boxing (for those not local, it's a pure boxing/kickboxing club...membership isn't cheap but holy crap is it worth it). I've gotten addicted and while I struggled in December with consistentcy due to a nagging cold/bronchitis, I've finally been able to find my groove. I've been going 4-5 times a week. It's hard. It's tough. It'll make you sweat out of every pore. Joe, the trainer I go like to go, says you probably burn around 700-800 calories per hour doing his class. I'll take it. Not only am I 'boxing' like mad, for the first time in my life I'm counting calories and really paying attention to everything I put in my mouth. It's eye opening! I refuse to go on some crazy 'diet' but I am trying to keep within a certain calorie range every day and with that, watching my intake of protein, fat and carbs. I'm amazed...given my goal 'weight', I need to stay under 1700 calories a day (pretty easy to do as long as I can stay away from the silver bullets...ie beer). But, now that I am counting, I've realized I was probably putting down 2500 calories a day before!!! I wasn't gaining weight, but I certainly haven't lost any in a long time.
That said, I'm ready to work towards a new goal. I am working towards a new goal and I'm quite pleased so far...except last week....I went out and drank like a fish (literally...I had 12 beers on Thursday night!!!) both Thurs and Sat. This week I'm going to try not to drink...although we all know that's kind of impossible so I'm trying to only drink one night this week and limit it (everything in moderation!). We'll see what happens!!!!

Wow!
Um wow! What a week it's been (maybe longer since I've updated, but the last week has been action packed to say the least). Suffice to say tonight is one of 2 nights I haven't been out and about in the last 8 days. I feel like I need to detox (and sleep!).
It's been interesting...no real crazy stories. Except for the guy that tried to convince me to make out with him in the bar parking lot while his girlfriend was inside...um really? But I'll admit, it was really REALLY tempting. He was hot (and so nice) and they are apparently on the verge of breaking up. I told him to call when he was single. He called me 2 hours later....just to make sure I got home ok. :) I hope for my sake he's single soon. That was the night before New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve was pretty fun. It started out being a few couples and a few single people going out. It turned into all couples, me, and another single guy who is turning out to be a huge douche bag. He had 2 different girls meet him where we were because he apparently couldn't decide which one he wanted to take advantage of that night. I made the most of my night and had a great time although it probably won't make a top 5 Most Fun New Year"s list. Two of my single friends ended up going as a couple (long story). We had a good time and the people watching was definitely entertaining.
The next morning my single girlfriend (who went the night before with my single guy friend) called to see if I wanted to go up to Tanners (local bar) to watch FB and get some grease. Since F-head was picking up Layla at noon I decided what the hell, I didnt have anything going on that afternoon. We went up there at noon, decided to order some bloody mary's. We then ventured to my Dad's house as he was having a little party. I couldn't say no to his margaritas. We then realized it was 5pm, both of us were slightly tipsy and didn't have plans so we ventured out....till 1:30am! I mean really....what were we thinking? It was pretty funny though. We went to about 6 different local bars trying to find a good 'scene'. Nothing. I guess we are the only morons that go out the night after New Years.
Needless to say I'm a little tired today. I feel like I've been on a 3 day college bender. Today was great though...I got to spend lots of quality time with Layla. She said some pretty hysterical things tonight as I was putting her to bed that I must share:
Conversation #1: "Mommy, when I get bigger and bigger, I'm going to play basketball with the big Jayhawk boys. And you're going to sit in the stands and be very proud. But I'll need a uniform...how about a swimsuit? That will be very nice". Um....ok!
Without taking a breath, she started this convo:
Conversation #2: "Mommy, are these your boobies. They are too big!?" "Yes Layla. But it's not nice to touch other peoples boobies". "Well Mommy, I don't have big boobies to touch. Mine are very little but some day, when I get bigger and bigger, I'll have some. Will you give me yours?"
I don't know where she comes up with this stuff but good lord is it entertaining.
