the young and the dateless

i should really be careful when using the word "dateless" now that i am married. because now, i'm supposed to have a permanent date, right? no. i'm not going to force husband to go to places/functions that he has no interest in. nope. i'm saving those "go to event free" cards for things that are very important (i.e. christmas at my parents).

tomorrow i am going to a networking dinner over the hill. which means that my potential date would have to find their own way to the venue. shoot, i already have to fight the 405 to get there, i am not about to pick anyone up or drop them off home afterwards. this leaves my pool very limited. i already don't have many friends, much less those who are (a) mobile and (b) interested in this type of stuff.

i can say i have all of three friends who are interested in the things that i am. and that may change with the new husband and potential family. but i'm going to try my best for it to not.

friend 1: is taking the bar exam this week. i've been sharing her with the bar for close to 7 months now. she first took an out of state bar earlier this year and now is taking ca. i am excited to have her back this weekend.

friend 2: works to much. now that we have successfully married myself off, it is now on to mission two; find friend 2 a wealthy husband. she'll probably be working tomorrow anyway.

friend 3: deadline diva. like friend 2, she also works too much. the only difference with friend 3 is that she has hard deadlines that she must meet - or else "we", yes "we" don't eat. because you know i be at her house for dinner - my girl can burn (literally and implied).

-speaking of which, i really need to get used to going home after work so that i can start attempting to cook for my husband. next week we start operation house-wife. i'm going to give a shot at balancing a professional and domestic career in the twenty-first century.-

back to my dilemma...

i also have two other male friends who are interested in the same things i am, but both have better things to do (chasing hot chicks) than to go to a boring dinner with me.

woman chaser 1: would have accepted the invite for tomorrow, but has to do church errands. boo!

woman chaser 2: has been recently chasing this new chick that he met 2 weeks before the wedding. i don't want to interrupt this whirlwind romance.
