I want to share with you a few tidbits I've learned about life that I am calling "single girl serendipities." Can you tell how much I love a thesaurus???

1. If you have an unpleasant dream and can't seem to shake it and a sadness is looming over you. Get in the car to go to work, flip around to the random radio stations you don't listen to often and wait. A song will come on that changes your mood, makes you smile and by the time you are done rocking out on I-405, you will forget to be sad. For me, this song was "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred, which by the way, I still know all the words to. I'll be hitting up Itunes for that one :)

2. When you think you are alone in a situation and no matter how they try, you feel like no one really understands, just open your eyes and your ears and you will find that you are not alone. I just discovered that a coworker who I haven't had lots of personal conversation with is going through the same thing as I am right now. We have bonded and become true friends and support systems for each other.

3. When you go to happy hour to watch the election...consider beforehand that you will be there for several hours and although the wine is cheap, take it slow and drink some water along the way or you will fall asleep at home waiting to watch a speech that you so badly wanted to see.

4. When you wake up at midnight and realize you missed the speech, take a few minutes to put on Pjs and take off your jewelry so you don't end up with the outline of a very intricate dangly earring on your face.
