Today, I am visiting the new Laurel coffee house, More Than Java. It's a little place on Main Street, but the atmosphere seems nice so far.
Some things I often wonder when in coffee houses:
1. Why do people come in and say they don't really like coffee but as long as there is cream and sugar they can make it work? Who is making you come in and drink coffee?
2. A lot of attractive men drink coffee :)

Some Rules of Engagement....Lest I Forget the Painful Past
Dear Dating or Non-Dating Friends (if you're the non-dater, lucky you),
In an effort to continue to make you ask "Is she serious?" I write this blog about dating. I know it's been a while, but I've been saving my stories, dear friends. Saving them, in order to create this "list." Now, those who know me, know that I would/could never abide by "The Rules" created by those women who are living in a bizarre perfect past world.....but here is my very own set of rules, gleaned from my experiences (and some of those from my friends).
Now, some of these rules are more applicable to the 40 something woman who is dating and there are a lot more things to consider than when you were 20 or even 30.
1. Make sure he has a car (whether you live in a city or not)
2. Make sure he does not live with his mother/make sure he lives alone
3. Make sure he does not have children that live in another state
4. Make sure he is not homophobic
5. Make sure he doesn't say he wants an independent woman, but that he actually does want an independent woman
6. Make sure he's not the kind of guy who runs when you don't tell him what he wants to hear.
7. Make sure he is not a hot and heavy communicator who is going to go MIA at all intervals and expect it not to be a problem
8. Make sure that sarcasm is not going to be taken as a personal attack to his manhood
9. Make sure he is capable of paying for the bill (even if you don't expect it every time)
10. Make sure he is not in love with his penis.
Now, over the next few weeks I will endeavor to account for each of these "Rules," providing the backstory and the importance of the lesson learned.
