We leave next week for a multi-objective singles blitz. It first started a few years ago when Laurel suggested we go on a singles cruise, "or something like it". I very directly avoided the issue and soon enough the topic was lost in the shuffle of life.
This is a new year and a new outlook so when Laurel and Camille suggested the cruise again, only this time with details, I gave in. Seeing I was outnumbered and more sympathetic to the need to "do something different" I agreed to go with them. Mind you, I have said NOTHING about this being a singles cruise to my family and other friends- perhaps that says something about my subconscious- no, that DEFINITELY says something about my subconscious.
In the meantime we discovered that a singles conference was being held in Las Vegas the same weekend that we would be passing through on our way to San Diego... Yes, we will be participating in the "activities" planned for us. I feel like I am about to go on my first experience at Fat Camp with special programs for the kids that don't know how to control their eating like the rest of mainstream America.
May the force be with all of us. I am mentally preparing for more singles activities, pressures, and realities than I think my emotional self can handle. I may come out on the other side a different person... who may need a good therapist... or a strong drink.
