Single and Fabulous?

I was never an avid watcher of Sex and the City, but there is one episode I recall well. Carrie was scheduled for a photo shoot for a cover shot for an article called Single and Fabulous. She drank and hardly slept the night before the shoot and showed up looking completely done in. She was photographed without having her hair and makeup done and she looked terrible. The title of the article went from Single and Fabulous! to Single and Fabulous? The entire context of the title changed based on the punctuation. Amazing how something so small could made such a difference.

I have felt Single and Fabulous? a lot recently. For example, it's Friday night and am I out making the most of my singleness? Am I at a nice sushi place or hanging at a cool bar? Oh, no. I am sitting in the dark, wearing a t-shirt and knickers and watching The Ghost Whisperer. If that's not question mark material, I don't know what is.

I need to find my exclamation point.

I hated that show. I'm sorry, but I think SJP is one of the ugliest creatures this side of Mars. Her and Jennifer Aniston. So, don't put you and her in the same blog No comparison- punctuation or not. I don't know- I would just feel too old and set in my ways to go to bars. You are Single and Fabulous! Just not desperate. I'm going to Chemistry.com to look and see what's out there for you. I'll let you know!
