What in the world am I doing? I have 9 credit hours this semester, which equals three very demanding classes. I am working full-time and I am raising my almost 4 year old on top of everything else. So frazzled is how I'm feeling at the moment.
I get so frustrated at times because there is just not enough time in the day for me to get everything finished. If my ex was a little more accommodating and a little less worried about his personal life, then maybe I would get some stuff done. It goes without saying that I am a bit of a procrastinator. But that's beside the point, right?
So the countdown until the end of the semester has begun. Three more weeks and then the summer is all mine. Well, mostly mine anyway. No school books or papers or tests, just sun, fun, and a lot of plans.
By the way, Mr. Teeth and I are having drinks on Thursday. How am I going to fit in a social life to my already packed schedule? I bet I find a way. For now, I am going to think about the great smile and look forward to Thursday.

Dating in the 21st Century
So a fellow Twitter friend, @mssinglemama, asked the million dollar question: Do men choose not to use the phone for it's actual purpose because of the ease of texting/emailing? This is a question that I would love to know the answer to!
Case in point...I was out on the town Friday. I ran into a guy that had come in to work a few weeks ago. The first thing I noticed was his smile. Wow! His teeth were perfect and trust me, this is something I know a lot about. They were the perfect shape, great alignment, the whole 9. But, I digress. I gave him my number and hoped that he might actually use it. I am back in the dating game after a 5 year absence and there have been some major changes. Therefore, I don't remember all the intricacies of the dating rules. Saturday came and went with no call. I didn't get discouraged since it was only a day. Sunday afternoon came and went with no call, but then this evening I got a text from Teeth. Very casual, nothing exciting...small talk.
Five years ago, texting was just beginning. This text would have been a phone call. But now, in this internet/texting crazy world...a text is an acceptable means of communication. Better yet, Facebook and Myspace have become routes of communication among the dating people of the world. It's just mind boggling to me that you can now ask someone out on a date without actually talking on the phone first.
I guess we women just need to learn to accept it and move on. I'm just happy you call...er, texted. I guess it's better than nothing.
