Lights

This tune is awesome. Makes me dance around the living room with my cat. (I don't think he likes the song as much as I do...)


I had coffee with a gal pal of mine today to break up the work day. We met to specifically chat about the cutie American I had my fingers crossed for a couple posts ago. You know what? She was unusually positive.

My girl always has something negative to say about the guys I date. It's just a fact of life. If I'm going to chat about dating around her, I had to expect harsh criticism. I grew to learn that her opinion of the guy didn't matter, but that she was a very good sounding board as the Devil's Advocate. And oftentimes - she was right. (Goddamn it!)

She has a firm list of must have's for me. Yep. Its like I have my own screening queen for dates. Today though, she was so soft and sweet. I was shocked. Happy shocked of course! What changed her perception of this guy versus the others? Was something going on in her life that she wasn't opening up about?

All I know is that for the very first time in the four years that I've known her, she was not warning me to be careful or providing me with little tests to give him. Instead, she was genuinely happy that I am ecstatic about someone.

The more I let it marinade this afternoon, the more I realized what made her react the way she had. And the reason made sense.

And yeah, it's girly and romantic, so shut up.
