Spray tan, IUD, bikini wax and no curfew


Penelope was already enjoying the new arrangement she had in life, which allowed for plenty of time doing what she wanted, loads of fun with her children and ample evening time for dates and dudes.

Despite the negative and sad part of the new situation, she was realizing there was quite a silver lining.  She was happier than she had been in years, and her stress level was diminished all the while she was feeling better and better about herself.  No one can argue that these are positive things despite anyone's ideals about marriage and love.  No one should stay in a bad situation, and no should endure heartache, misery, pain and infidelity no matter what your promises are for life and eternal bonding.  In a perfect world, surely Ms. Penelope wanted to have a lasting marriage and she worked hard to try to keep it together but after years of unhappiness, she shed the worthless other half and has embarked upon a new path sure to make her life and her children's life improved in a myriad of ways.

What do you do when you have not been single in decades?  Talk to your single girlfriends to get the scoop on what is normal, what guys expect on a first date and what to do when they pin you in the car for a make out session.  Do you sleep with a guy on date 3 or do you hold out?  Do you have oral sex to avoid the penetration situation?  Do you just do dinner and goodnight kisses until you become exclusive?  My motto is go with whatever feels comfortable to you and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.  In the end, you have to live with your decisions and your choices.  For Ms. Penelope, she is armed and dangerous and living the dream!  (tanned of course!)

that's a single life alright! no doubt about it.. but it kinda makes me think that a brazilian bikini would be nothing if you don't have a romantic bond to a special someone to show off those lovely wax! XD
