He's just not that into you -

So, Sassy Esquire and I went to see He's Just Not That Into You last night. I've already read, memorized, and utilized the information written on the pages and probably more importantly in between the lines of this book. I think most women have had a time in their lives when a dead end situation calls for a little tough love. For instance, yours truly found herself in a pit of despair after a much too long "non-relationship, relationship" which consisted of spending every calender holiday together, thousands of texts, phone calls, inside jokes, etc. You get the picture. I was the Lady who got advice from friends ad nauseum - "cut your losses," "he'll come around," "you deserve better," and the perennial favorite "maybe he's gay?" I finally struck out and away from this particular fella and it allowed me to find what I had been looking for all along - true love and compatibility. It was a refreshing change from banging my head against a brick wall.
Sassy Esquire brought up a good point last night that was echoed in the movie - we women love the drama. Even if we say we don't, there is just something so damn exciting about the early stages of relationships and just starting to fall in love, or trying to hang onto love or let go of something that isn't love that stirs the proverbial pot. When things are going smoothly sometimes we forget to count our blessings.
All of this said, I recommend the movie, and I recommend the message - and I recommend the friendship and discussion that comes from all of it.

blog is the new black

Remember your parents asking you if everyone else jumped off the bridge, would you jump too?
This inevitably referred to getting your ears pierced, a tattoo or going on a weekend trip with older friends, while you were still firmly wrapped up in their apron strings.
It seems to me that blogging is the "thing" to do now - but my journey starts with this post not necessarily because I want to follow the trend, but because writing is a talent that I used to use frequently. I've let it fall by the wayside and I feel a strong need to resurrect it. I'm a fan of blogs and I think they are a good platform for reading, writing and sharing information.
The Lady and the blog will bring you and honest look at life, feelings, tips, gossip?(!), reviews and who knows what else.
I invite you to join me in this endeavor and feel free to leave your feedback or random musings.
I'll be setting up the blog and getting my feet wet for a few days.
