Idle Hands

Note to Self:

Do not, I repeat, do not take a week off from work without having plans for at least 95% of the time.  Sitting around the house alone for days on end is not good for your self-esteem.

Food (Porn)ography

Note to Self:

Do NOT watch the Food Network when they are showing those yummy desserts.  Your willpower cannot handle it, especially when you are down in the dumps. Put down those chocolate chips!

Beauty is in the Eye

Note to Self:
Stop wearing liquid eyeliner until the forecast high for the day is below 80 degrees. Wandering around in public with a black line half way between your brow and eyeball is not a good look if you want to attract men.

Telephone Tell-a Friend

Note to Self:
If you don't want the neighbors knowing about your love life, stop telling your mother about it.  It's one thing if strangers you'll never meet know about it.  It's quite another when you have to field questions at a BBQ.

Rules

Note to Self:
Stick to your Rule #5 of Dating.  Guys who "don't watch TV" or "don't have cable" are probably douchebags.

Postive

Note to Self:
Next time I'm feeling down about dating or being single, remember the compliments freely given by men instead of the idiots who rejected me.

Booze

Note to Self:
Beer goggles apply to online dating as well as real life.  Proceed with caution.
