It's 7:30 am and my husband is asking me why I am putting on makeup to go to the gym. Let me be clear, this makeup he speaks of is a light dusting of bronzer and some mascara. Either way, the answer is this "I am going to stare at myself in a mirror for one hour. If I can't stand to look at myself with no makeup on, why should everyone else have to?". I don't care what you say, I look way better with makeup and don't take this the wrong way, but you probably do too.

I just spent 48 hours on my own – no kids, ALONE…… As a single mother of two I rarely have any time without my kids. I am the primary caregiver for my daughters.

I have to say I am extremely lucky to have a close group of friends. I met my friends at different stages throughout my life. I have close friends who I've known for over 30 years, friends who I met throughout my teenage years and friends who I met through my children. The older I get I realize that it isn't the quantity of friends you have but the quality of friends. Over the last several months, I have truly seen the importance of having friends. My friends are people who I can rely on and friends who have been there through my highs and my lows.

Contributing factors include, but are certainly not limited to, the following:

Online dating
Friends with significant others
Changing Facebook statuses

I will confess that watching Facebook relationship statuses change almost on a weekly basis is… enervating. Watching countless "friends" ('cause let's be honest, no one is FRIENDS with all their Facebook "friends") change their relationship statuses from "in a relationship" to "engaged" makes me wonder, hmmm…. what is it about me?
