maybe my singleness IS my fault

OK.  I’m on a dating site. (Again).

And I mostly just ignore 90 percent of the weird guys who try to contact me on said site.

But every once in a while a boy with decent grammar, witty comments and normal-looking pictures comes across my screen, and I give it a go.

I’ve been talking to this one guy for a few day now, and he seems to pass the “NOT CRAZY” test.

And today, he was all “let’s get a drink”

Except, I just realized, while sitting in front of my laptop at 11:45 p.m. after just getting home from work, that my schedule is as follows:

Wednesday: work during the day. youth group planning, work out and see a friend at night.

Thursday: youth group stuff and workout in the morning. work at night.

Friday: work during the day. go to the city at night to hang out with old grad school friends.

Saturday: come back from the city in the morning. take youth group to corn maze at night.

Sunday: church/youth group in the morning. workout in the afternoon, rest at night.

and then Monday, it’s back to work.

Doesn’t leave much time for hot dates does it?

Bears-Lions game: So that’s what 48 points feels like?

Hmm.

See. Well.

The things is, ummm.

OK. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not like, complaining.

But it’s a little less than satisfying when the Bears wrap things up with more than 30 seconds left.

I feel. umm.

What’s the word?

Jipped.

Where’s the “HOLYCRAP DO YOU THINK HE’LL MAKE THE FIELD GOAL?? HOLYCRAP. HOLYCRAP. HOLYCRAP.

HE MADE IT, HE MADE IT, HE MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

That’s my favorite part guys.

And it doesn’t help that 73 of our players were injured in the stupid game.

Come on. Adrian Peterson with a knee injury? Devin Hester with a shoulder injury? Johnny Knox with the leg injury? I thought Lovie had talked to God about this? Isn’t it his job to make those types of deals?

I suppose at least now I have the peace of mind knowing that we’re definitely, for sure, positively NOT the worst team in our division.

So there’s that.
