Flattery Will Get You Everywhere

"I was thinking about you last night. You make a very pretty pregnant person. You have that 'pregnancy glow'." Co-worker who has since been moved off THE LIST

Looks like I can wear flip-flops all weekend since the wedding has been called off. Had drinks with the groom last night and will have lunch with the bride today. If this were a movie, last night resembled St. Elmo's Fire especially when our favorite bartender extended a personal "good-bye" to everyone individually as she ended her shift. Un/fortunately, no one's head got dunked in the toilet. My mom inquired, "what's wrong with your friends?" when I told her the news. Quite a few of my friends have had trouble with marriage and commitment. In the past two years we've witnessed two and a half divorces, two last minute wedding cancellations and a few indiscretions. I don't know what's wrong with my friends. Is this an American epidemic or merely the result of hanging out with a bunch of lovable cynics?

I brought a big box of heart-shaped cookies to work today. This is ironic because well... we sure do like cookies here.

I have an all morning meeting but I'm not staying much past 11:30 in order to get downtown for my lunch date.

This sucks, this really sucks.
