Thank Heaven for the Memories of '07! Also Known As 'The Year of the Buzz'

This year has brought about a lot for me. I started it out with being dumped & miserable. Had to help msyelf fall asleep over the next few days by drinking appletinis. Partied at Porkys to meet & dance with a hottie who was all of 22 and a HUGE ego boost. Was verbally attacked by a drunk man at a LB bar only to find myself at the Greek's at 2am for consoling. Yeah, that's what I call it now. I went out with MIU to celebrate his bday and say goodbye & good luck on the west coast. I signed up for a dating site where I met, went on dates with, and tolerated odd men. I hung out with another hot 22 yr old.......hmmm......trend here? I went to Disney for my bday and came home to find out that Cowboy had proposed to the inept mother of 2. Oh yeah...she is the one who informed me. Went in to the city to check out bars that Crak had to review. Finally made it to Katwalk where I passed out & had to have Crak help me home. I was introduced to Girls' Night Out where I drank.............

I went to the Mall of America, saw the Mississippi river, walked on the bridge that collapsed weeks later. Cowboy's mother called to tell me he was in rehab. So I found out I had been scammed for the 4+ years we dated. I had more bad dates: a guy who thought that being a math professor was supposed to impress me, a cop who didn't get it that he is still legally married even though they have decided to privately separate, and a man who all I will say is that I did mention the bisque. Went to the Hamptons for another Girls' thing.

We partied on rooftops in the city.

The (Mis)Adventures of Phyllis and Gertrude began on a loooonnnnng flight to Oahu (which I still cry over the fact that we actually got back on that plane to come home. Who leaves Hawaii?) Helped Crak celebrate her birthday. Saw Cowboy in Colombus a week before he had to move back to Portland....why did I go? No clue.

I ate chocolate. Lots of it.

I had a crazy schedule for the fall. Thus the chocolate and the buzz. I've become part of a group of good looking women with whom to party and not be able to meet men when we go out.....no idea why we don't meet them since they are there & we are hot. Which leads to tomorrow's post.


All I will say is that '07 is a buzz....er uh....blur......and I am okay with seeing it go.
