My Debut Back to Singlehood

Ugh... To be single again... ya know... it was once considered the "in" thing. In fact, I'm sure that there may be a few of my married friends out there a little envious of the position I find myself in once again.

I for one am not necessarily convinced.

Don't get me wrong... I can be single. I can even enjoy being single. I enjoyed my single moments... I really did... And even now I know that I will enjoy every moment of being single... because Damnit... I'm going to Seize the Day Baby!

I did go out tonight for the first time in a very long time. Which was good but apparently over the past year and a half I have become incredibly accustomed to the domesticated life and have lost practice in the ways of getting ready for a night out on the town...

I got all dressed up.... You know how it goes... looking good... feeling sassy... And then I realized that I hadn't set up the sprinklers. So after I finished the final touches and found myself ready to go, I headed outside to set them up and get them going on my half dead lawn that I'm still working (very hard might I add) to raise back to life.

You wouldn't think that this would be a big task... but imagine trying to do all of this in heels. Now... not rocket science mind you... but I'm setting up the lawn... and I had turned on the water already because I wanted to adjust it to hit just the right spots... and that's when I realized that I was dead center in the path of the sprinkler as it came around.

Now most people in my situation would run... but I was stunned by the irony in all of it. Here I was... all dressed for my debut back into singlehood and I had a sprinkler quickly approaching me.

Oh yes... as you can imagine... it came right for me... and all I could do was laugh and shake my head as I let the water soak me through the outfit I had so carefully picked out for the evening.

It was as if the universe was laughing at me going "Sucker!"!!!

All I could do was giggle as I ran quickly into the house to throw my outfit in the dryer.

Anywho... it did turn out to be a wonderful night and I laughed most of it so perhaps this single thing isn't so bad after all...

Thank you Kendra... it was much needed and I had a blast...
