NOW 41

After suffering a break up this week I have a deeper understanding of why celebrities turn to publicists and general statements to make such announcements. I am beyond lucky to have so many loving people in my life who care about me, but as a result I have been recycling the same conversation all week about getting dumped. A discussion I could go without having once let alone twenty times. My mother is the worst. She's been stalking me, asking how I am doing as though I have a terminal illness rather than a bruised ego. My dad is also rather disappointed seeing as how he just learned his name and everything.

It is amazing the clarity that a bottle of vodka brings to light. Always one to walk on the bright side of the road I came up with some advantages of breaking up. I have regained control of the remote (good to see you again Bravo). I don't have to shave my legs as often (or ever). I am saving gas money as I was commuting for nookie. Also, now that I am not getting laid I have more time to study geography, French and find the cure for Cancer. In addition it has been a great excuse to blow the dust off my Kelly Clarkson collection. Not a bad list I'd say. There is however no advantage to getting dumped the week before Valentine's Day.

It is funny the things that people say in an effort to comfort. One common thread has been "you are so young, you have lots of time to find someone." A) Did I say I was old? B) My eggs beg to differ. C) I am not THAT young, I just saw a commercial for NOW 41.

People have been asking if I will go back on Match. I believe I will. In fact I am thinking I will join Match, eHarmony, Plenty of Fish, Christian Mingles, and Jewcier to really cover my bases. I am kidding of course. But in all seriousness I will dive back into the online dating pool as it did work for me. I did meet a wonderful guy, he just wasn't mine to keep. I have comfort in the fact he wasn't that got away, he actually ran away ;) I knew as well that something was missing. I also know that as disheartening as it can be, I will continue the search to find it.
