Disclaimer: I don't blog about my kids (don't have any), my latest DIY project (they never turn out), or food that I've cooked (I don't cook), and that being said I'm fine with it.
I've learned a couple things lately and none of them are too pretty. First of all I think moving to Utah has turned me lactose intolerant - ugh (as she pours coconut milk on her raisin bran), and second I've realized (tonight) that my love life is a bit of a joke. If you had already realized the jokiness of my love life I will ask you to keep your snide remarks to yourself and instead offer me some sympathy.
I had a break-up tonight, where afterward I got upset (this is all standard protocol born of past precedence in every relationship I've ever been in)
Surprisingly, in the middle of being upset, I started laughing out loud at the sheer ridiculousness of my situation. Seriously! How many break-ups have I had? (roughly 1-2 a year for 12 years) and yet here I am engaging in the exact same break-up pattern I've had for so long.
And I suddenly got weary of it all.
I don't have a plan really. I just wanted to share that I've officially interrupted (successfully?) my post break-up cycle of sadness and grief and I fully intend on replacing it with something a bit more productive.

You need to drink almond milk- it's way yummy (and you can get it vanilla flavored). Sorry about the break-up. :(
i've looked back over some of the incredibly awkward dating, and not dating but still sort of relationships i've had, and i get you. its so hard not matter how many times we go at it, to just connect in meaningful ways with people, let alone in ways that will lead to a purposeful relationships. dont give up. start learning something new, like learn a new skill, or write a book. give some of that energy back to yourself, you know :) invest in you and the other stuff will work out.
Here's to almond milk!
Everyone's dating life is kind of a joke. Just be glad you could step back and laugh at yourself. I sometimes look back at my so called dating life and wonder what the heck I was doing... and how I ended up so lucky, but somehow it all worked out well. Life has a way of pleasantly surprising you when you think it might not.
