Party animals

Single people get exhausted too. Last night I had dinner with a couple of friends. The main topic was how they party too much. How they need to settle down. Stop going out so much. Cut down on the drinking and smoking and get more sleep. These are people who have to wake up for their 8-5 jobs and can only sleep in on the occasional weekend. These are the ones who only want to be party animals once a week rather than every day.

But that's hard to do when there's a birthday celebration or going away party or a football game or a Monday at least once a week. It's especially difficult when there are eight restaurants and bars within a block or two of everyone's front door.   

Settling down doesn't mean girlfriends for these single guys. They're still very single. But they still want sex. That's why they're talking about Vegas in January. And this single girl wants to crash the guy party! Let's see if I can do it.

I know I go out way more often than I did when I was married. But what's the downside? I have some catching up to do. This single girl has been sleep deprived a few times and maybe I've slept in a morning or two and missed a few nights at home watching TV. But I love it! It's fun and totally worth it. I still keep up with my work and will have the best year financially then ever. I still run almost every day and eat better than before. Most of all, I'm happier than ever!

More and more people say they want to take better care of themselves. I know one single girl who's cleaning up. I admire her discipline. She's doing it to meet a goal she set for herself. When you're single, there's nobody to blame but you when you don't eat right. You're the one who lets yourself drink too much or stay out too late. Single girls and guys may try to pass a little blame on their friends, but at least they have friends. So let me see them take responsibility. Make it happen. Now.

Okay single girls (and boys too). Set a goal. Meet it. Set another. Meet it. The secret is pacing yourself.

You can do it!

Love to the single girls,
Addison
