When someone asks me about my last boyfriend…

Another daily work convo with my single bestie.

Me: What if we just went on a date with every single guy that hit us up on okcupid?
Bestie: We’d be on a hundred dates by now. And probably dead from a creeper.”

Another daily work convo with my single bestie.

Me: It’s okay. We’ll probably have children at the same time and they can go to school together. They’ll go to Santa Monica elementary school. We can drop them off in our Range Rovers before we go to mommy breakfast and mani pedis.
Bestie: and then some afternoon shopping in Beverly Hills
Me: right.
Bestie: Then the nanny will pick them up and take them to a play date.
Me: And we’ll hit up a yoga class.
Bestie: And we’ll make good family dinners by the time everyone is home.
Me: Exactly. For our rich hot husbands, when they get home at like 6.
Bestie: Yup, they’ll come home with flowers and spend time with the kids while we’re finishing up dinner. Then they’ll do the dishes…we’ll put the kids to bed and then it’s cuddle time with wine on the couch.
Me: And that’s our lives.
Bestie: We should also look into volunteering once a week and maybe be a part of a Junior League or something.
Me: Oh of course!

“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion… love actually is all around.”

My favorite holiday movie. Love Actually.

So it’s been a month now that the boy I was dating left me and moved across the country. And it would be easy for the single girl in me to be like “oh it was so tragic! Worst month of my life! I was SO depressed!”

But guess whaaaaaat. That isn’t the case at all! I never really thought it would be but you know, when you’re single, and you have any moment of something real, feelings can be more escalated than necessary. But luckily I got through the first month and only had 2 mini breakdowns over it. 

Him and I still talk almost every day…but I don’t feel butterflies fly through my stomach when I hear from him or anything. And that of course that is because he is ALL the way in NY and I will never see him again. Well maybe..but not in the way that will ever affect my future. There are moments where I’ll be driving and out of nowhere I’ll catch myself thinking of him, and this pit forms in my stomach because I do miss him. But I have to remind myself to just smile at those memories and move on.  

When I see my Newport boy at the bar and he walks right by me…

That awkward moment….

your ex boyfriend is tagged on FB in a photo shoot with his new girlfriend. And the pictures are of…and I’m not kidding..the two of them on the cutest date in history. Who has a photo shoot of a date??

Oh.. my ex boyfriend, that’s who. 
This. Is. My. Life. 

When I find out a hot, funny guy also has a really good job

whatshouldwecallme:

I know I bitch a lot about being single. And trust me…at the end of the day I would love to be in a serious relationship right now. But I must admit every once in awhile I find myself smiling when I think of the adventures I get to go on as a single gal. When you’re single…you have no idea where a normal day could lead. 

I have the freedom to meet a nice guy during Sunday brunch/bottomless mimosas and end the day sitting on the beach in the sand, his arms wrapped around me, while we makeout as the sun sets.

It’s not always that fun…but when it is, it’s worth it. It can make life new, unexpected and exciting!
