Do single girls have more fun?
I can’t answer that question. I don’t know why I asked it. But I can tell you, I was at P.A.W.S. Animal Adoption Center in Camden playing with the cats last weekend because my Little sister likes them. I don’t even like cats. But then I saw this one cat, and, no lie, I almost adopted it right then. Annnd, I’m single.
And then this morning, I was at Zoot getting some coffee, and I noticed the cups…
Let’s just say I’m feelin’ a latte like the little cup lately. 😛
OK, OK. Patience is a virtue. Apparently, some of us are not virtuous. JK JK! You’re all fabulous. But, if you’re eager to know what’s happening this weekend, you don’t have to be patient any longer, here’s what’s coming our way!
