Make sushi (already done it! And not even a month into the New Year- go me!)</span> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"> 2. Teach my spoodle to pee on command (harder than I thought, but with Dr. Harry's help I can't lose!)</span> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"> 3. Learn to play the ukulele (any help with this will be greatly appreciated…seriously) </span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"> I know, I know, I dream big. </span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I thought these were all very good resolutions for a freshly single girl. However, about half an hour ago, my partner in crime and fellow singleton, <a href="http://www.glovesofflove.blogspot.com/">Saloptimist</a>, and I, had what could only be described as a love epiphany. Within a few minutes this epiphany grew into a sure-fire plan for 2009! Hurrah!</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The plan: To find THE ‘ONE’. (<a href="http://www.glovesofflove.blogspot.com/">click here for plan details</a>).</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Ok. Before I get started, I would like to set a few things straight. Fundamentally, I am a realist, through and through. And until recently, I cringed when other girls would chat about the search for a soul mate, Mr. Right and all that crap. I thought they were foolish kids who will soon get a rude awakening about the realities of love!</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">BUT, after a very cruel summer of relationship failure, I have surprised myself and adopted a new way of thinking about….true love. I know- shock horror! </span> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Now, my head is clear, my heart is open, and the possibilities are endless!</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">So here it is. With <a href="http://www.glovesofflove.blogspot.com/">Saloptimist </a>by my side and the world at my feet, I am packing my 'A' game and maybe a few cliche's and going on the adventure of a lifetime…in search for 'THE ONE'.</span></span> <br /> <br /><span style=";font-family:&quot;;" ></span> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3044588464666189407-70453826175412911?l=mycruelsummer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cruel Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618582043861085824noreply@blogger.com0
