A white dress, a lacy veil, something old, new, borrowed and blue. Me? I’ve never been interested in any of that kind of crap. As a youngin’, when most other girls were envisioning their princess day and the perfect wedding, I was busy playing competitive sports. I wasn’t forming opinions on whether to

Boring! Well,

I’m very nearly 38, overweight, and temporarily single. Not, like, buying new underwear and low-cut tops single, but, like, eating microwaveable food while hovering over the sink musing over Valentine’s Day prospects single. So here are my thoughts. I have no desire to meet anyone, mind
