Silver lining

I am not getting a bonus nor a pay increase this year but at least I scored a free month of pass at the local yuppie gym. I will be ignoring the dark cloud while staring into the silver lining like a little kitty drawn to a shiny object.

The reason I got the pass was to check out the male patrons at the yuppie gym. It was as if the universe is saying "come come come on over". Haha.

Watch out male yuppie gym-ers, don't hurt yourself when I break out the "stretch".

LSC

Love, support, and cookie - according to Steve Harvey, those are the only three things one needs in a relationship (at least from the male perspective).

I must admit I agree with Mr. Harvey more so especially after a long and challenging day at work. I don't need to come home to more nagging and third degree interrogation. All I need after a long day of hard work is love, support and maybe some cookie (if I am awake). So dear men, I hear ya - the next one that comes into my life will be showered with love and support plus cookie (if I think you're deserving and don't annoy me too much).

Bathroom humour

I shall take a brief break from grace to share this with you what I learnt at dinner this evening (yeah - trust me IT is that good).

Men are like toilets. The good ones are taken. The ones that stay with you are the ones who take your shit.

Just another observation

Just another observation - I pass no judgement.

Walking to my yoga class after work today, I walked pass a male who had on lipstick and a floral top. That is not unusual in this single-female-unfriendly city that I live in. What puzzled me was that the male had obvious chin hair - one would logically think to remove chin hair before applying lipstick - no?

Shoes

Girls love shoes - that is a given. Do girls judge guys by the shoes they wear? I do recall conversations about men footwear and how the girls do judge the men by their shoes. Yesterday on my way home, I spotted one guy in Uggs and another in shoes with lifts! My oh my - what would the shoe-girls say about these two fellows?

Standards

Friends and relatives who have found their plus ones often suggest that perhaps the reason that I am without a plus one is due to the fact that my standards are way too high. Too high? I only hope to meet a plus one who shares my values and outlook in life, whom I am attracted to - someone just like me who is male. If they think this is too much to ask for, then they must think either not think much of me or think too highly of me.

Snoogle me happy

Dear Snoogle-maker,

Why oh why do you market your snooglies to the preggers only? I think you have an excellent product which has a wide appeal - thus stop limiting your products only to a specific niche market. The solo sleeper who needs some warmth & snuggly at night but are not blessed with a co-bedder can really use the comfort provided by your product, the snoogle.

Oh yeah, can you make stripes or polka dots cover as well (or at least something prettier)?

Snoogling zzzzzz....

RECESSISON

"RECESSISON" spotted on the t-shirts worn by the bartenders at the Hudson Bar. I thought that was a clever play on word. I must admit I did enjoy my stay at the Hudson and my late evenings spent dancing at the bar. What intrigued me was the kinky shower in the room - the shower visible through the glass window to the bedroom. How fun it could have been? Sigh - my prudeness got the better of me.

Gossip Men

Overheard at the neighbourhood drugstore today, two grown male employees of the store gossiping about a May-December couple in the store.

Male Employee 1: Is that the older sister or the mom?
Male Employee 2: They have the same look.
Male Employee 1: Whatever it is - she is doing him in the bedroom for sure.
Male Employee 2: Well, good for her - err and him too.

I was trying very hard to contain my laughter. Very nice to know that men gossip too.

Ooh Damn

Dear guys,

Listen to Ne-Yo - he's the man. I'm impressed with his suave ways.

Age rule: Divide by 2 Plus 7

I was thrilled when yoga teacher extraordinaire, Chris Chavez, gave me permission to knock off eight years from my real age for doing a pose at the yoga workshop. Yippee - I'm under 25 again!

Well, the point of this post is not exactly to toot my own yogic horn but to ponder the question of age - does age really matter in mates? Based on the age rule of divide by two plus seven, my dating age range is between 23 and 50. Funny enough, I had been (sorta) asked out by a 24 year old as well as a 49 year old in the past six months.

Out dancing in the City last Friday, I was in awe of the dancing prowess and physical hotness of my dancing partner of that evening. Lo & behold my dancing partner whom I thought was around my age turned out to be 49! I was floored when he revealed his age to me. Me being me, of course, proceeded to ask "OMG - you don't look your age at all. I thought you are way younger. Did you have any work done?"
