Well Rounded Couch Potato

You know you had a good weekend when you cry when it’s over because you don’t want it to end. I try my best to be well rounded. Attend singles events, spend time with friends, cook, go grocery shopping, do laundry, wash dishes, lounge on the couch, snuggle puppies, and go to church.

Honestly all I wanted to do Friday night was go home and snuggle some puppies and watch some uplifting holiday movies on TV. But I forced myself to round out my life and went to a Singles Christmas party.  Let me tell you it was hard to resist not going to the other party where the guy I liked was. But, I resisted knowing that in the end it would only make my heart ache more.  I made a real effort to mingle at the Single’s Christmas party.  I opted not to sit with my roommate so I could make a real effort to put myself out there and met new men. Thus I choose a table with 3 men I didn’t know. Two were around my age. I choose a seat between a guy close to my age and another that was old enough to be my grandfather.  I really tried to strike up a conversation with the guy who was around my age, but as hard as I tried it just wasn’t going anywhere. I had a more fulfilling conversation with a friend of his who joined us and the older gentleman next to me.  After dinner I went home and was so happy to end the evening snuggling my puppies on the couch and watching a movie.

Saturday was a successful day. I got up early went grocery shopping and made Chicken Masala and Pork Chops for lunches this week. Then after doing a ton of dishes I finally made it out to my Girlfriends’ then we went downtown for dinner and to see a show.  Hanging out with my girlfriend and dinner was the highlight of the evening. We went to a bar and had burgers. In Old Town bars are the only place that has reasonably priced food and ambiance.  I was daring and tried the Skippy Burger, I figured if it’s been on the menu that long it must be good and surprisingly it was very tasty. My girlfriend played it safe and ordered the island burger.

Sunday was filled with Church and lounging on the couch while watching cute holiday movies surfing the web, and blogging.  I was sad to have the weekend end. The good thing is things are going well again with Josh and his girlfriend and it’s snowboarding season so I should have many more weekends with the house to myself for more puppy time.  I know I sound like a such couch potato, but I don’t feel that bad because I go to the gym almost everyday after work and unless Mr. Right suddenly appears in my life this is the only loving I’m getting for while and this is better then settling for Mr. Wrong just so I can be snuggled.
