Oh to live the single life again.

It didn't last very long did it?

But instead of being bitter, I know it was the right thing to do. As compatible as Sweater Guy and I are for each other, we work better as friends.

Sunday night was very dramatic and included tears on both our parts. I opted for a break instead of a break up. But I knew it was over and that it is a good thing; even though I didn't care to admit it.

We talked more last night, and ended things officially. Our relationship was getting too serious and both of us were feeling guilty because we both know it won't work out in the end. Which was weird since everything was so great between us.

Yes, it's sad. And I'll still have my mourning period which will include generous portions of ice cream.

But I am good... really truly. Everything will turn out the way it's meant to.

Date My Single Kid

I don't know exactly what it is, but there is something that happens when Zoobie girls reach a certain age.

Suddenly everyone is ready for you to get married and they comment on it all the time.

"So are you dating anyone?" they ask coyly, as if I would keep it a secret...
"No," I reply gruffly.
"Is there anyone you want to date?" (This usually is included with some sort of elbow nudge or a wink.)
"No."
"You know what? I should set you up with so and so. He's so cute. He's friends with my son/nephew/weird cousin. Would you like that?"
"Sure," I say already planning the escape for this blind date.

And eventually your mother picks up on this and starts badgering you as well.

Suddenly it becomes apparent that she had other goals for you than just graduating.

Heaven forbid I graduate without a secondary Mrs. degree. Not all of us double major, you know...

Meeting the Parents!

Yikes!

So Sweater Guy's parents are in town for the holiday weekend. I met them last night. It didn't go horribly wrong. But it didn't go fantastic. I wish I had a more bubbly personality. We'll see how things go today at the extended family bbq later today.... (double yikes!)

I did have this week off from EFY. But I'll be gone for two weeks straight with these next sessions!

It's going to be harder this time.

Last night we went to the Freedom Festival. Somehow I convinced him we should get matching "friendship" bracelets. They are awesome!

Then we danced the night away listening to Swedish pop outside of his car.

And this last week he took me on a surprise date to an Art Museum.

I'm sorely going to miss him.
