I used to be a pretty serious girl when it came to relationships. What I mean by that is I was known as (direct quote by a frat guy) “crazy.” So when it came to boys, I was the girl who wanted a relationship — not to just play around. 

Although, when really thinking about it, what girl doesn’t want a relationship? Girls can tell themselves all they want, “I just want to be single” or tell guys, “I just want to hook up.” But deep down, there are deeper feelings in every girl that they cover up with their “I just want to have fun as a single girl” thoughts.

How Do You Know If You Will Like It?

I have probably said this before, but I am going to reiterate it again. I eat like a 5 year-old. When I was in elementary school, my dad used to make these sandwiches in the morning called “cheese sandwiches.” He would put a slice of cheese between two slices of bread and put it in the microwave for 40 seconds. And wa-la! That was it! And to this day, it is still delicious. Gotta try it.

How To Resist That Mac-N-Cheese

How do you know to not eat mac-n-cheese almost every night...?

How do you know if you’re indulging too much?
We all do it. You know, sneak ourselves a piece of chocolate about once a day,
or if you’re like me, five times a day. Guilty. I kick myself every time — just like
the time I found a little Milky Way bar stuck in my Nike shorts pocket. Yes, it
happened, and I ate it.
Yet, I spoon-feed myself this shit, whereas my father gets spoon-fed this shit by
my dog. She just slips little chocolates under his pillow at night. And yes, her
name is Jellybean — of course. I’m surprised she gives it to my dad and doesn’t
indulge herself. Dogs get sick from chocolate, though … lucky.
But, whether your dog gives it to you or you slip it in your Nike shorts, chocolate
is something you can’t get away from. Unless you’re allergic, which if you are,
you lucky bastard. Be grateful you don’t have to go through the constant
chocolate cravings.
And, not being able to steer away from chocolate is the same as not being able
to steer away from sex. Indulging in too much of both of these can cause you
some great trouble.
Yet, it’s funny because those who indulge in chocolate never have sex … that’s
me. Great. And those who are having sex don’t really eat that much chocolate,
unless they are kinky and use it in bed. If that’s you … kudos. You’re having both
sex and eating chocolate. Multitasking is a wonderful thing to establish.
So, taking you back to yogic philosophy, in order to have great sex and to
increase your energy day to day (also known as “virya”), you have to have a
controlled diet and sleep. This includes refraining from those little voices in your
head begging you to take a bite out of the chocolate bar.
Now, there’s a difference between having a piece of chocolate and indulging in
chocolate or sex, for that matter. Doing it or eating it is great. But obsessing
about it and craving it, here’s an intervention.
In yoga, we teach balance and steering away from dukkha, or unhappiness. In
life, you want to reach a state of bliss with no dukkha present.
Ultimately, these cravings for chocolate, an unbalanced diet and excessive sex
can cause dukkha. You want to live your life in moderation, and then you will
reach a state of bliss.
So, have sex if you want, or eat once piece of chocolate every now and then. But
don’t go overboard and end up having to track across to India, like in “Eat, Pray,
Love,” for some Guru talking.
As Forrest Gump once said, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know
what you’re going to get.” In other words, when you get that box of chocolates,
just choose one.

We all do it. You know, sneak ourselves a piece of chocolate about once a day, or if you’re like me, five times a day. Guilty. I kick myself every time — just like the time I found a little Milky Way bar stuck in my Nike shorts pocket. Yes, it happened, and I ate it.

Yet, I spoon-feed myself this shit, whereas my father gets spoon-fed this shit by my dog. She just slips little chocolates under his pillow at night. And yes, her name is Jellybean — of course. I’m surprised she gives it to my dad and doesn’t indulge herself. Dogs get sick from chocolate, though … lucky.

No Fine Line Between Sexy And Down To Earth

Here’s to all my single ladies out there. “I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips. Got me tighter in my Dereon jeans.” There you go. Beyoncé said it. Or should I say sang it?

In Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies,” girlfriend spoke out to all women of the world that it’s all good to be single and loving it. And, ultimately, if he liked it, then he should have put a ring on it.

Be Your Own Guru

How do you know you’re giving yourself enough “me” time?

After being in Colorado for a whole week babysitting a 1-, 3- and 5-year-old, I’ve realized, thank goodness, I have no kids of my own. And, well - shit, let’s hope I don’t get prego until I am way older … and not single.

How do you know if this will be the year you keep your resolution?

I wasn’t the typical college student who gained the "freshman 15." For me it was the "sophomore 15."

So…during my state of singleness sorrow, I took shots. Lots of shots. Every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Then to top off my love handles, I would make my way to Sonic each night. Let’s just say it all went downhill from there.
