rules

I used to make silly rules for me to follow in emergencies or when certain conditions just called for rules. Over the past few months though (maybe even years) I let go of all those rules. I feel like I sort of let my guard down because of it though, so I'm making new rules as well as reinforcing previous rules (which will have one of these "*" beside them). They will be enforced as soon as possible. Here are some I'm adding to my list:
  1. No long-distance relationships. EVER.  *
  2. No dating anyone who is younger than I am.
  3. No dating anyone who is related to any of my closest friends (unless given permission first).
  4. No more being a "rescuer". (this rule can be ignored in case of emergencies)
  5. Always put myself first. (in the most unselfish way possible, of course)
That's what I have so far. They're very important to me. There will be no exceptions made unless I feel it is in my best interest (see rule #5). 

Also, I was invited to join pinterest! (Told you Abby!) So naturally, I accepted the invitation. Check out my pinboard! There's not much there yet, but in a few days I'm sure I'll have tons.

oh yeah, Since I'm "special," I tried you leave you a comment via my droid the other night regarding one of your posts; however, it ended up on my comments under my most recent (if you can call it that ;) post on my blog. I KNOW, I said I was "special!" You can read it there or I could just copy and paste it, but who knows how that'll go......

Those are great rules. Although now that I think about it, I had my own list when I was single, and my husband broke most of them. I will tell you that he just broke the silly ones though (i.e. must have nice hands... he's a mechanic on his downtime...) haha! So I guess you never know who you'll fall for!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
