Mackenzie's back in the dating game.
And by that I mean that I have begun flirting intentionally again.
Not that I'm actually dating. Hahaha, noooooo.
Seriously though, say no to dating.
SAY NO.
Speaking of which, I saw Collin today! It was such a lovely surprise! We just ran into each other on campus. He was in his work clothes still and looked dang good. He's a handsome dude! And a nice friend to have. :) Don't go breaking any hearts, Collin!
A guy from one of my geology classes sneakily asked me on a date. We were walking back to campus together from doing an assignment at the paleontology museum and he goes "it was so fun doing that with you! We'll have to do more fun stuff together. And next time dinner and other fun activities will be involved." Before I could even call him out on it he changed the subject and left minutes later. Mm, buddy, let me go ahead and clarify before you go on with this false hope: I am not interested in dating you or any one else. That's sweet though that you're interested!
I want to wear a sign around my neck that says:
Single, yes. Interested, probably not. If you want a legitimate chance with me you are going to have to work dang hard because not only do I not want a relationship but have pretty high standards for men at this point in time. {wow, that sounds really cynical..} Flirt away and watch me swiftly friend-zone you all, cute boys!
Because dating means heartache. The worst part of dating is when you get to know someone so well that you want to be apart of their life more than anything else. When you get to know their family and realize you want to be apart of it {that's the breaking point for me - when I know that I really feel something for them.. I loved Jordan's family so much}. When you find out the way they live and want to ease yourself into that life somehow.      And it ends. Dating always ends and you're left feeling like something has been stolen from your heart.
Anyway..
it's Kaila's birthday!!! Happy sweet sixteen baby girl! I can't believe you're so old. I'm seriously in shock about it. I woke up, realized it was her birthday, and got all choked up. What am I, her mother?! Sheesh, Kenz, calm your dang hormonal self down. I really was emotional about it, haha, she's my little sister and she's growing up so fast! I'm so proud of her. She's definitely her own soul and has made so many good choices. I love her very much despite the fact that we are polar opposites and sometimes hate each other.
Happy Birthday, Baby Kai-kai!
I love you :)
