...Happy Ever After

I was watching Grey's Anatomy and Sex and the City last night and they were about the same thing. What happens after you get your "happy ever after?" What then? We are all searching for Mr. Right or Mrs. Right or that perfect person, but what happens *after* that? All of the fairy tales end there. You all ride off into the sunset and "the end." No. Not, "the end." What happens? We are all told that that will be the pinnacle of our lives. Happy ever after. That's what we all want, right? We want *our* happy ever after. But what's *after* that?

Well, I've got the answer.

***spoiler alert***

Life. Life is what happens after your "happy ending." It doesn't just stop because we've found the perfect person. It doesn't stop because we are in love. It doesn't stop for anything. Period. So, boys and girls...while we are all looking for our "happy ever after," it's just another part of life. Some of us are lucky enough to find it. Some of us aren't. But just as sure as the sun will rise, life will go on just the same. Maybe a little happier or maybe you just keep searching, but...

Life.
Still.
Goes.
On.

Dating Dilemma

Wouldn't you agree that you have to go out on a certain amount of dates to finally find a good guy that you would continue to date? I would say so. It's sorta a numbers game. I mean, I'm not talking about Mr. Right, but maybe. I've never been a big proponent of dating just to date, but there is a fine line. Right?

Well, I've gone on 2 dates within the past 4 days and I'm already tired of it. Both were nellier than I normally date. Both very nice, but not someone I would date on a continued basis. Is it me? *Am* I too picky?

Please. Please. Please direct me the good gay men.

A Fun Quiz

Runner's High

I ran a 5K race this morning. Since I've been running marathons, this was the first 5k that I've ran in over 4 years. It was great to get that surge of energy that a shorter distance race gives you. I've never been a "conventional" runner. I don't do sprints one day and then hills another. I just run because I love to run. And the odd thing with me is that I'm better now than I was in high school. I've been running for 15 years! And most runners peak in their early to mid 20's. I'm 28 now and I'm running better than when I was 18!

This morning's race stats:
6th overall out of 500 (guesstimate)
3rd in my age group (20-29)
18:42

It wasn't my PR, but I was only shy like 3 seconds from it. The age group divisions were really broad, too. Usually, it's 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, etc., but they just divided the groups by decades.

Overall, I'm pleased:)
