Romance

This caught me this past Valentine's Day.  

Word Challenge.

So two of my readers must be avid Scrabble players, because they challenged the word 'romantical' from one of my previous posts.

Drumroll, please....

It's a word.

Per dictionary.com:
Ro`man´tic`al

a.

1.

Romantic.

Very insightful.

I prefer urbandictionary.com's assessment:

All romantic and shit.

Baby, this trip is romantical.

 (I personally think the line "is it enough to get me laid?" is implied at the end of that definition.)

Summer of Love

So this past weekend, I had a bachelorette party Friday night and an engagement party on Saturday (which I will touch more on later). However, during the engagement party, I happened to see a large boat traveling down the Chicago river (not at all unusual). As I looked closer, I noticed there was a wedding taking place on said barge. How romantic and fun! I thought this was a cute place to get married. As I looked closer at the boat, I couldn't help but notice a certain hilarity to it (NOT keeping with the theme of romance).



For me, this is the icing on the cake. When I meet my future husband, I am going to have to look into renting out this one.

Love Stories from George Costanza

Jerry (Seinfeld) and George, in reference to a woman Jerry just met:

GEORGE: Yes! I see enormous potential here.

JERRY: Why?

GEORGE: Because great couples always have a great story about how they met. That's why I've never been in a long term relationship. I've never had a good meeting story.


I don't know about you, but I'm kind of on the same wavelength as George on this one. I agree with him - this is why I won't do online dating - what kind of a story is that? No offense to anyone who has met this way - I have friends who are good people who have met spouses this way. However, I am holding out hope for a good, exciting story.

Celebrity Crushes....

So I've been known to have, at times, unconventional taste in the men department (believe me, ask ANY of my female friends on this one). Who are my celebrity crushes, you might ask? See above. Top down - Jon Bon Jovi (well, 20 years ago), Paul Rudd, and, as of lately, Reid Scott (Brando on My Boys). HOT. I don't hear many other girls talking about Reid Scott - maybe I can have him. He used to have a thing for PJ, a single Sun-Times employee living in Chicago, so I really think I'm his type.
