Happy Valentine's Day

Yes, I know it was yesterday, and yes, I know I'm probably insufferable because I'm in that infatuation stage with L, but he is super great!

First, I am one lucky lady. Look at these gorgeous flowers! The one on the left is from L. He had them delivered to my work! (Note to any guys out there, flowers at work are always a plus. They show you thought about it in advance, plus it makes all the people at the office jealous, and you spend most of your time there, so it's a good place for them to be). The ones on the right are from my favorite uncle. So sweet! Like I said, I am a very lucky girl! They make my whole house smell amazing!

For Valentine's Day, L made me dinner. It was so cute. He was all busy chopping and dicing and cooking while I sat there and sipped on wine. He made lasagna, which I thought was a very ambitious choice, but he exceeded my expectations! I only felt slightly bad I underestimated him! ;) Also, it wasn't just your run of the mill lasagna, no, it was completely gourmet! Very impressive! We had wine, and salad and bread and my favorite Ukrops cake for dessert! He's just so amazing! I am 100% into this guy. I know, like I said earlier, I know I'm insufferable at this stage, just gushing on and on about how great he is! But he is!

Anyways, whether you were coupled up with your main squeeze, or out painting the town with your girlfriends, I hope you all had a wonderful day. It's not just about loving that special someone today, it's about love to everyone special in your life; parents, family, friends. So, don't sit around and mope if you're single, realize how much love is in your life and how lucky you are to be surrounded by such amazing people!

Too Many Online Girlfriends... Deal Breaker

And not talking about cybersex, or chat room girlfriends, although, news flash, that is a deal breaker in and of itself!

I'm talking about those guys with 1,000 Facebook friends, and when you scroll through them, they're mostly girls. While you are perusing the types of girls, you'll note that they will likely fall into one of two categories.

1. Total skanks, most likely the fake profiles that try to solicit money. Are you serious? What kind of guy would be so desperate to appear well liked by a beautiful woman, that he would accept this friend request? He's probably addicted to porn. Deal breaker.

2. Just regular girls. This type of guy could go two ways. The first, he could be secretly gay, and not know it. That's why he has so many girl friends, and no guy friends. Ok, obviously, you don't want to be part of this beard drama. The whole not wanting to touch you because he's gay and doesn't know it will get old. Trust me, I've been there. On the other hand, he could be the type that really gets around and immediately facebook friends any girl he's been out with once, or chatted up at a bar. These guys aren't serious potential. They don't know what they want, so they keep all their options open. One day, he may decide to settle down, but until that day comes, you don't want any part of him.

"Reality" Deal Breakers

If he's ever been on a reality TV show... deal breaker!

Not all reality TV shows are created equal, however, you should treat each equally in that it is a total deal breaker.

Think of the Bachelor-type shows. Guys that go on these shows don't really want to find love. I'm sorry, I don't buy it! They just want to have lots of gorgeous women throw themselves at them, and then have the chance to sleep with more than one girl, and not get slack for it. Think about it. Why else would none of these "marriages" work?.

Apprentice/Survivor-type shows. Although these are two different genres, the premise is the same. Males here, once again, are ego maniacs. You don't want to date a guy that thinks he's that great that he deserves to be on reality-TV and thinks he could win some sort of big prize. These guys are only in it for the money, and you'll probably never be good enough, or at least that's how he'll make you feel as he's cheating on you.

The Hills/Jersey Shore-type shows. These men are the definition of attention whores, and straight up man-whores. Similar to the group above, you'll never be good enough. Ladies will always be throwing their panties at them, and they'll upgrade in a minute. One day, they'll wake up to find they're alone at age 60 with no one to love, or they'll be a Hugh Hefner type. Neither are the type you want to get involved with. Deal breaker.

Geek shows. Okay, geeks that want to get laid. They think this is the way to becoming cool. Sorry. Not the case.

Basically, the premise is the same. Men go on these shows for the after affect. The ladies that now recognize them everywhere they go. The easy lays they know they'll get as a result of the show. If you see them out at a bar, or meet them at the grocery store, run away. It is a deal breaker ladies. Show some respect for yourself!!

Oh, and the same goes for men. Obviously any woman on these shows is an attention-whore as well, and likely an aspiring actress who thinks this is her big break!

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

Texting Dealbreakers

I know I've written on texting before, but the number one way to know a guy is 100% NOT WORTH IT is if the following situation goes down.

You go out with him, maybe you have a great time, maybe it's just an okay time, but at the end, you think "if he calls, I'll go out again." Maybe you don't even go out, you meet him at a bar, a concert, whatever, and he gets your digits. A few days go by from either the date or when you met him, and you don't hear from him. No biggie, you think. But then, it's Friday night, you're out with your girls, and your phone goes off! It's him! Can you guess what the text says!? I know you can, because I KNOW you've gotten it before!

U out?

Forget him! Delete his number! I know you are tipsy, but he is not worth it! This guy is a jokester! He is not interested in dating you! No matter what! Do not reply, delete his number and forget he even ever existed! Girls! Save yourself the embarrassment, the drama, the headache that is going to be this guy!

If he can't be bothered to call, and he only wants to text late at night... DEALBREAKER!

Dealbreakers with SJP

I almost forgot I wanted to do another theme this month! I guess between the injuries and the snow, it slipped my mind. This month is dedicated to deal breakers! Yes, those things that a guy does that is a show stopper. A DHA moment.

I'll try to do each of these based on a guy I went out with. Others will be based on just general knowledge. Today's is based on a guy I went out with...once.

If he wears more hair gel than Pauly D on Jersey Shore...Dealbreaker.

For your viewing pleasure. One of my favorite TV shows, and one of my favorite plot lines.

Worst Cities for Hair Health

Today, just poking around on websites, following one link to another, I found "The 13 Worst-Hair Cities" by totalbeauty.com.

Number 12 was Albuquerque, NM! And I will vouch for this. Only 3 days there, and both my hair and skin went to he11! My hair was so dried and fried. Although the lack of humidity kept it at bay size wise (I forgot my straightener, oh the horrors!), the texture of it was not good. I also have dry skin, and my face was constantly red from being so dry. I was literally slathering on the lotion all day long, and it was immediately soaked right up. When I finally got home, my face felt like it had gone through the ringer. Just very sensitive to the touch, quite red in the cheeks, and not looking as radiant as usual.

It made me wonder, however, do people that live there have more oily skin, or less dry hair? Sort of a survival of the fittest idea? I just couldn't imagine the shape my skin would be in if I lived there. Or does it get used to it? I have to wonder.


Albuquerque is so difficult to type!

Another snow day here in VA. Although it is pretty, it's getting quite old. We're normally lucky to get one inch per winter, and we've already had two storms at a foot and a half each. And it's always on the weekend. L's coming over tonight, to get snowed in! Yikes! I'm freaking out! Is it going to be too much to spend the weekend together? Locked up in the house? With no where to go? Or, will it make us that much stronger? Will keep you posted!
