** I survived "red-heart-puke day"!

yes, thankfully, it is over!! no more RED-HEART-PUKE DAY for another year!

we can all go back to buying flowers for ourselves at more "reasonable" prices, eating chocolate that isn't heart shaped or colored pink or red, or has silly messages written on it (be mine, yours forever) and just generally enjoy being single again (if we still are).

i did have a good time last night. i got together with some friends (one was married with a 1 year old and needed to get out for a night on the town), had some wine and laughs and went to see "he's just not that into you" at harbor east downtown. a really good movie!! funny, yes, a little predictable, yes, but overall i say 3 out of 4 stars! this, by the way, was the first movie i had seen in the theater in over 1.5 years!! and yes, i do get out...just not to the movies!

after that, we had a drink at james joyce, a typical irish bar with 1 lone singer who sucked. little did we know that it was also a "singles party" with the BUD light girls! after 1 drink, we were outta there! we ended at the brewer's art in mt. vernon , got a drink and their awesome rosemary fries with crazy-good aioli!! i hadn't been there in years! in fact, a fond memory was when i went there on an "outing" in college and fell down about 3 steps on my way to their downstairs bar! i regained my balance and what was left of my pride before my date turned around to see what the horrible commotion was. meanwhile, i had twisted the SH&^ out of my wrist and almost took a knee! good times indeed...
