Everyone should read A Girl's Gotta Eat!

So today I read A Girl's Gotta Eat!   and she had this to say about a recent guy she had dated/seen

"He would have completely engulfed my need to be ‘wanted’ and caring and sweet.  I don’t want that. I'm ready for someone in my life who drives me to be a better person, someone who challenges me and questions my intentions and ruffles my feathers.  Someone who is a man that is not afraid of an independent woman.  I have friends, I want to hang out with them.  I love my job, I want to work late. I know you have friends, I want you to spend time with them. I want to go to California, I am going to go to California.  I want someone to take random adventures with me and appreciate the spontaneity of life"

And I couldn't help to think"Hey that sounds ideal!"...sort of...considering my string of failed attempts at romance maybe I should re-work what I'm looking for  a bit...or maybe stick to it for once


I want all of those things AGG2E had to say...especially the better person, challenger, feather ruffler part....I don't want someone who is going to kowtow to me...it would never work and I would run all over him...I want someone who will let me be silly but doesn't let me get ridiculous without calling me out on it...I do want someone to push the grocery cart though...I HATE HATE HATE pushing the grocery cart, I feel like it hinders my ability to wander around the supermarket...and the last thing I want is to be fenced in!

I think I have been so fixated on wanting a boyfriend that I've been apt to settle for whatever comes my way rather than really choosing someone who is good for me...not just a good guy. So I guess we'll see...

In other news hanging out with a new boy...or rather a new old boy...likes years ago...and its fun times so far...I'll keep you posted on that...p.s. totally swearing off men named Mike...all of them have been bad news bears...and I'm done striking out

Work is ridiculous as per uuse...my boss got fired and now everyone is all over the place and I feel like I am just treading water hoping someone will throw me a life preserver....I need some direction here please! I keep having this overwhelming sense of finality...as if this is the make or break period....or maybe I'm just going to be fired....that would be QUITE a Christmas present...we'll see...
