I have something very serious to discuss with my thousands of followers tonight. Today was a huge day in my life, and when I say huge, I mean monumental. Today was the day that I realized that I am the only single (meaning alone, not married, without significant other) person in my circles of friends within a two hour radius. What's a girl to do? I was discussing this with one of my married girlfriends at which point she begins to ponder... "I don't have any single friends (other than you of course) either!!" What's come of this world? How is it even possible for there not to be one single single within my group of friends in the 757?!
What does this mean to you? Well, absolutely nothing, because more than likely you have a partner in crime with whom you spend your evenings with. For me though, it means I have a lot of free time (when I'm not working one of my several jobs I suppose). With all this free time I have decided that in order to avoid Match.com for the third, or is it the fourth attempt... sad... anyway, I must find little things to keep me busy and positive! Here's my list:
1. I have decided I need to be better at blogging. Now, I know that there is no one reading this. No one at all. Raise your hand if you have fallen upon my blog and you consider yourself a "follower"... [...crickets...] ...despite your silence, I'm going to write anyway. And I'm going to try to be better at it.
2. I will do at least one craft a week! And I will blog about it! I'm not trying to rip off that Julie & Julia cooking movie... Let's just see how long I will stick to it.
3. I will wear my nightguard... Silly I know... not something you expect to see on this list, but this bite guard isn't the most attractive accessory, so I might as well take advantage of the fact that there are no boys sleeping over and I don't have to look... well, let's just say I don't have to look my finest.
4. I will go to the movies alone one night. This is actually something that is on my list of things to do before I'm 30, but I figure it is something that I should do while I'm single, so it should be on this list too! I might as well embrace it! Not sure if I can handle it on a Friday or Saturday night right off the bat though.
5. Travel. Well as much as I can. My job(s) keep me in town more and more these days. But I'm going to try to squeeze in as many weekend trips as possible!
6. Spend Friday night's not feeling guilty about staying home, crafting, and watching tv shows like "Say Yes to the Dress" or "Masters of the Reception" :-) Love it!

My newest obsession...
So we all know that I will find a random thing, obsess over it for a while, and then move on. Well folks, today is the day for yet another "Suz Obsession."
Last week, well, maybe it was two weeks ago... yeah, it was definitely two weeks ago. I was invited to a friend's apartment in Hampton overlooking what I believe to be the Chesapeake Bay, for some chicken salad. She has the cutest apartment ever, but my chicken salad scores a few more stars than hers. Anyway, my newest obsession is not about her apartment or her chicken salad, it is about the beverage she served.
To wet my whistle she served me a purple Vitamin Water. I was slightly resistant, because A. I'm not typically a fan of purple beverages, and B. Let's be real, I'm not one to venture too far from the beaten path when it comes to eating and drinking. I like to stick to what I know and love, although it seems that whenever I live on the edge and try something new it is rare to find myself unsatisfied... (note to self.)
So flash forward a couple days from the introduction of the purple Vitamin Water and my life. I'm walking through Farm Fresh and notice Vitamin Water is on sale! $1 a beverage! Only problem... I don't know what flavor water I was served! What's a girl to do other than buy all of the purple and pink Vitamin Water's on the shelf! You know I cannot turn down a sale!
I walk into my house with about seven different flavored Vitamin Waters, even including flavor names that I assumed I would not like (Raspberry for example - bleh!), but I could not take the risk of missing out on my newest beloved. It was like wine tasting, minus the crackers and the alcohol and the feeling you are left with after sampling the reds and whites and everything in between. After a few days I had tasted and sampled and fallen in love with six out of the seven flavored waters! Now I am not here to argue for or against the nutritional value of this purple beverage, but lo and behold, my love is not necessarily with the beverage itself, but it's with the labels....
Take for example the Focus Vitamin Water:
"focus
kiwi-strawberry (a+lutein)
not a lot of singers can rock. even fewer can roll. and once you throw pop in the mix, you can forget about it. but the multi-platinum kelly clarkson pulls off all three like a diner does breakfast, lunch and dinner. most vocalists couldn't even lip-sync to a set like hers. so, how does she do it? behind her hazel eyes is some serious focus. she's living proof that with a little concentration you can do anything... catch a fly with chopsticks, solve a sudoku puzzle, or climb the corporate ladder. just stay off the top of the charts - thats kelly's territory."
I mean, how great a read is that?! Especially considering the fact that it's coming from a beverage bottle?! Let's just hope its not only the fact that I'm actually enjoying these purple beverages that keeps me surprised and entertained! Keep it up Vitamin Water, keep it up.
