Men and Margaritas

Tonight was Taco Tuesday night at Pepe's, which means tacos are $1.25...not a bad deal. And the margaritas are sensational. (A little TOO sensational, actually.)

I went with one of my good girlfriends and spent the night talking about men and how impossible it is to understand them. For example, I can't count how many times I've been told 1) that I'm amazing, 2) that I'm beautiful, 3) that I am an awesome woman of God, and 4) that I'll make some man really happy someday. The fact is, I'm a little tired of hearing it. I mean, honestly...if I'm so great and wonderful and all, um...why am I still single? Come on guys. What's the problem? Do I need to turn cartwheels and balance a ball on the end of my nose to make the final cut?? Is that what I've been missing all these years?

Maybe it's my lack of cooking skills.

Thankfully, before my girlfriend and I could get too bitter about men, a nice one showed up who bought us a round of the aforementioned sensational margaritas (thanks Morgan!).

On another note, I'll be hitting the slopes tomorrow, amen and hallelujah! Toward the end of 2004, I really prayed that I'd manage to snowboard at least three times this season, and this will be my fourth time! So I'm pretty stoked that I got even more than I asked for. God has a tendency to be generous like that.

Well, I'd best hit the hay, 'twill be an early start tomorrow. And then I have to pack for Minnesota still! Hmmm. Nothing like doing things at the last minute, eh.

after reading this post i've decided to rescind my previous message about you looking stunning in anything...
:-o

i suggest you brush up on your cooking skills, and then hold dinner parties with handsome young single males. or you could go back to YWAM or go to Multnomah Bridal College, er, I mean, Bible college (or probably any Bible college for tha tmatter)

oh, and have you tried the Internet?

Well my experience about men has come down to a bumper sticker:
"A man of quality is not threatened by a woman of equality" In other words...it isn't necessarily about what you are doing wrong or right!

andi, fear not. though i know at least one friend who is happily with a guy she met via the Net, and my job also keeps me online an inordinate amount of time, I find it to be an exteme measure as well and don't think I would ever do it. ;-)

as a great guy I worked for once said "If you've got it, flaunt it" ... i think he was talking about my height while we were working on a roof, but meant it to apply to anything ;-)
