DIBS!!

So, my friends.. I am in trouble. Again. Or still. I can't keep track anymore.

Granted I told myself I was "40-50 % single" over the last five years, now I am taking advantage of the new "100% single" me and I feel like a fat kid in an all-you-can-eat cake shop. I'm pretty sure I have whiplash from all the guys making my head turn. And I'm pretty sure I have called "Dibs" on every attractive, single male that has stepped foot inside my work, or better yet, on this planet.

Here are a select few:

Ryan Gosling- Okay, so I don't think it was necessary to call "Dibs" on him because it is pretty clear that he is my soulmate. I mean, hello, he has a Disneyland pass and is obsessed with wearing Onesie pajamas. Plus he's been known to date quirky brunettes. Seriously, you can't fight fate.

Jake Gyllenhall- Or however you spell his last name... mostly because he looks like he'd be a really good kisser. And next to wearing onesies at Disneyland, kissing is one of my favorite pastimes.

Damon from Vampire Diaries- Because he is my most favorite vampire. Better yet, I call "Dibs" on all the guys on Vampire Diaries. Yep. I said it.

John, the Pelican Pale guy- He is, in fact, a real person. And by real, I mean a person I have actually met. He comes into my work. Usually he sits by himself, or with some buddies. But never with a lady. I keep my distance because he is an older gentleman, and I am trying to rid myself of the Silver Foxes. But the other day as he was leaving, he walked by me while I was at the computer, gave me a little pat on the tush, and said "Bye baby.." and I lost all brain function. Dibs, dibs, dibs.

Hot Eugene- I know what you're thinking.. Hot Eugene? Oxymoron? Could someone with such a name be that hot? And the answer, my friends, is yes. Oh yes. Eugene works down the street from my work and whenever me and the girls from work go in there, he always greets me with a kiss on the cheek and a "Hi baby" and I melt. (I'm starting to sense a correlation with the word "baby" and a loss in brain function here...) Anyway, I always kept my distance because Eugene had a girlfriend, but the other day I received a text message from a friend that said "BTW Eugene is now SINGLE" and I freaked out. People at work thought maybe I won some sort of contest, or got a million dollar tip the way I was jumping up and down screaming.. But nope. Just a text and I was like a 13-year old girl who just met Justin Beiber. It was unreal.

Skip- Yep, as much as I try to fight it. There is just something about this guy that I can't shake. Could be that smile. Or his perfect kiss. Or how he likes to have cuddle parties. (Sigh..) So yeah, definite dibs on that one.


So there's a little insight to how I spend my days lately... After completing my "Jenny Craig for the Soul" and shedding 185 pounds of weight off my shoulders (also known as, The Captain), I have a bounce in my step and a flush in my cheeks. And it feels amazing!

This fat kid is calling "Dibs" on life... stay tuned for the details! :)
