If I don’t laugh I’ll cry

• My tooth is KILLING ME. Every time I eat it hurts more. Solution: don’t eat. Except I like food too much so that’s a no go.
• Tonight’s date was TERRIBLE. He had a lazy eye (I couldn’t figure out where to look!) He talked about himself the ENTIRE TIME. And he made me split the bill! (He asked me out). The date lasted 45 minutes and I called it on account of my tooth. He wants to go out after I have the root canal. I am going to let him down gently.
• I couldn’t wake up this morning to run because of my painkiller hangover so I have to adjust my runs for the week. If it had been a good date I wouldn’t mind-but now I’m just 6 kinds of irritated.
• I have 4 miles to run tomorrow-I’m intentionally running after work because it’s going to be 50 degrees and I think I’ll need the stress relief.
• The firefighter…why do we always want the ones who are bad for us? He is still there…but not as much. It’s confusing. I don’t like it. I know, I know, I need to tell him to go…but I actually like him, even though I shouldn’t.
• I have nothing planned tomorrow. A date with another new guy on Thursday. Dinner with a (male) friend and birthday karaoke on Friday. And a second date with the guy from Saturday this coming Saturday. I promise this isn’t just a dating blog. But it’s my life. And while I am running, I’m dating too.
• Do you ever look at someone’s life and think, “They are a trainwreck, and I can’t stop watching?” Lately, I’ve become concerned that you all think that about ME. I really hope that isn’t the case. That you’re not sitting there, just waiting for me to write some ridiculous nonsense about my dating life…intermingled with a bit about running and weight loss. I hope that you aren’t thinking I’m a desperate loser. I’m not. I don’t feel like I am.
• On that note, why is it ok for men to date multiple women at one time and not for women to date multiple men at one time? My friend Chris jokingly called me a whore at lunch today because I told him I had a date Saturday with one guy and a date with another guy tonight. I was mad. Don’t call me a whore because I’m dating! I’m not sleeping with them!! Sheesh. So many double standards still exist for men and women and it sucks.

Ok. I’m off my soapbox now. 🙂 Thanks for listening friends. I’m going to bed. Things always look better in the morning, right?!?!?
