mustache rides for all!

I know I promised drama and insight like weeks ago, but all I could talk about drama-wise right now is baby daddy bad-y (I couldn't come up with something that sounded as good as "baby mama drama"... sue me) and I really don't feel like it.

Honestly, I don't have time to focus on the bad as I've been running myself pretty thin as of late.  I decided it was time to avoid my life like the plague.  Turns out that the easiest way to do that is to fabricate a completely different life.

No, seriously... hear me out.  In this new, way more awesome life:

I am a non-smoker -  Seriously, it's been a week since I took a drag.  I know that isn't long, but I feel so confident this go-round that I am almost all of the way through this bottle of wine.  Guess what?  Cheese and more wine are all I desire at the moment.

I have (a little) more confidence -  Cute guy at the pump next to me?  Smile, make eye contact and mess with my hair.  Cute guy standing at the bar?  Smile, make eye contact and mess with my hair.  Cute daddy picking his bebe up from the same daycare I'm picking my bebe up from?  Check that there is no ring (married guys like me, but that's a story for another day), smile, make eye contact and mess with my hair.  Laugh all you want, but the fact is this method garners some kind of good response from EVERYONE.  Try it.

I'm wittier, prettier and a hell of a lot more fun to be around - Knowing you're doing right for you and your child looks good on everyone.

I have friends - Ok, so I had friends before.  I guess it'd be more truthful for me to say that I can now see them and actually be myself with them, which is sadly something I haven't been able to do in a number of years.

I could spend the rest of my night listing all the ways that this new and fabricated life is so much better than my old one.  When it really comes down to it though, this life isn't actually something that different... it's the life I stopped living when I decided that someone else's happiness was far more important than my own.  This was, and is now again, my awesome life.  The best part is that I know it gets even better from here.

I feel an even more deep moment coming on but I just realized that I never circled back to the title of this entry... and now I'm not going to.  I'm going to capitalize on this rare moment of real alone time, crank the stereo and dance around in my underwear until I pass out.

Visualize that.  That's straight awesome.  Enjoy!
