Thirteen Things About My Week That Are Making Me Smile

1) I've been busy this week. I had three great job interviews, and I'm starting to see the light at the end of this job. Yay!

2) I've felt absurdly happy since Sunday, and it has nothing to do with a boy.

3) Navy Boy made me a mix with Alien Ant Farm's version of "Smooth Criminal." I've been playing it on repeat at my desk for days while doing hardly any work. I love that song.

4) My TV's sound stopped working last night, and though I was tempted by Navy Boy's kind offer to come over (with wine) to fix it, I wisely declined. I told y'all this wasn't going to happen again any time soon.

5) Instead of a steamy late-night make-out session, I took a relaxing bubble bath and had some quality me-time. All the pleasure; none of the strings. Purrfect.

6) On Monday, CG gave me a CD with three guided meditations on it. She's the greatest therapist ever.

7) I had wonderful conversations with my family and a bunch of my girl friends. I love all of the women in my life (and of course my Dad and brothers) and feel so lucky to have their support, wisdom, humor, and love.

8) I've been having so much fun living with my new room mate. We spent hours the other night drinking wine and talking about jobs, boys, sex, and everything else under the sun.

9) I've realized I only need men for sex and sperm, and since I have this, and don't want a baby anytime soon, I don't need them at all at the moment. That's possibly the greatest, most liberating thing ever.

10) Em's friend asked me out for this Friday. I have tentative plans with my girl friend, so don't think I'll go but it still made me happy. He's sweet and it would be fun to hang out with him again.

11) I'm going out with an older boy (34) tonight for sangria and tapas. He's tall, cute, successful, and so far has been polite. The thing I'm most excited about is that the only thing I'm expecting to get out of the evening is a few drinks, some good food, and some good conversation. Should be fun.

12) There's a new, delightful piece of eye candy working at the Origins in Grand Central. I met him this morning when I popped in to get a new eyeliner and cleanser. He was so cute that even though I'm fairly certain he's gay, I flirted back outrageously and ended up buying this, this, this, this, and this. He was so cute and such an excellent, attentive, knowledgeable salesman. Yum.

13) Based on the past month, I'm really liking being 32 and single. How cool is that?

One thing not making me smile: My switch to the "New Blogger" last night. Grrrrrr.
