Girl talk

Last night, I told my sister that one of my friends was coming over to hang out. Ensuing exchange:

Sister: so what are you guys going to do?

me: paint our nails and talk about boys.

I couldn't get over the fact that I'm 26 years old and I said that sentence, considering the last time I said something like that was probably over a decade ago.

But really, sometimes you just gotta. And unsurprisingly, our conversation probably sounded a lot like it would have were we two 14-year-old middle schoolers as opposed to the mid-twenties working women that we actually are. What can you do.  

After our thorough discussion of all the boys in our lives right now (a surprisingly long list for two albeit very cute girls), we came to a few conclusions:

1. Boys are just mostly dumb. Right? I mean, sorry to the three boys who read my blog, but it's kind of true. I'm not saying that girls aren't also dumb, but it's just a different kind, I guess. A kind I don't get. 

2. There's cute, there's smart, there's spiritual, and there's funny, but rarely is there a boy who is all four. And really, is that too much to ask for? To quote a dear friend: "that's not too much to ask for, but it might be too much to get." 

3. When will we stop being surprised by all the crazy twists and turns that result from this world of dating? It's impossible and sometimes scary and sometimes exciting to guess what could happen literally from one day to the next. In short, expect the unexpected and just embrace it!

P.S. does 5 dates in one week seem like a bit much to anyone else?
