50 Book Challenge: #34 It’s Just A F***ing Date

10 / 23 / 135 / 25 / 18

What kobo.com says:

A fun and funny guide to dating from the New York Times bestselling authors of IT’S CALLED A BREAKUP BECAUSE IT’S BROKEN and HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU.

“The book is jam-packed with straight-talking tips on how to bag your man, and quite frankly, we can’t put it down.” – The Sun

Why does dating have to be so hard?

It doesn’t! Stop trying to out-game the system and relax. IT’S JUST A F***ING DATE presents the tools, not the rules, for bringing back the art of the date. The ordeals of 21st century dating, from online dating and hooking up to pulling the plug when it isn’t working, will soon be easy to navigate. With tips to define what is and isn’t a date, how to get asked out, and setting your own dating standards, dating won’t seem old-fashioned, it will be fun.

Bestselling authors Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola return to the minefield of modern relationships with this revised and updated edition.

What I say: I really enjoyed this book. I would like to think I’m an intelligent person. I have a degree. I am a career woman. I have even been told at times that people think I’m smart. Which is at times shocking. *wink* They might have been messing with me. But I’m here to announce. Not proudly. I’m dating and relationship dumb. I live in a rose coloured world where I think you don’t have to play by any rules and everything will work out. Many of my relationships have not started on the right foot yet I am a potentialist who dreams that it will always all work out. After reading this new book I have new rules. It can’t hurt to have a new perspective and to try dating “properly” or in a new way for me in this digital age. Here goes nothing!

What’s one of your toxic habits? I’ll go fir What’s one of your toxic habits? 

I’ll go first:
- staying up late working on passion projects 

Why is that toxic? 

Because it’s stopping me from getting up early and having a delicious morning routine. I’m waking up groggy or unmotivated. 

So how do I solve it? A few months ago I had a plug timer that would turn my wifi off at 9:30 pm. We unplugged it when someone came to fix our wifi so now I have to get that bad boy plugged in again.

Wanna share one of your toxic habits with me and how you’ll crack it?!

The only pure essential Birch oil in the industry. Read that again. THE ONLY PURE ONE. No other company can claim that without lying.

Ps. Did you know that the majority of Birch essential oils are made from ground-up aspirin? GROSSSS.

The first 2 years of being a twin mom were really The first 2 years of being a twin mom were really hard for me. I didn't thrive. I've only started finding my groove this year. I've only started feeling into the woman I am becoming. I was so lost for what seemed like so long. In the grand scheme of things, 2 years is so short but it felt like an eternity. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I really needed to lean hard on this man for support and for comfort. Meanwhile, he's in the thick of it as well discovering who he is as a husband and a father.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So at the start of 2023, I declared we were going to go on a weekly date night. And every time I mentioned it to friends or our neighbours with kids they'd look at us a bit shocked and say "Oh wow good for you" and then I started seeing a babysitter come over next door once a week. I cheered silently to know they were putting themselves first and ensuring they were getting some quality time together. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While we love to get locked up in an escape room (we're kinda regulars at @escapemanor) and problem-solve our way out, I'm also quite content going out for oysters, dinner and drinks. Here's to almost a full year of date nights and prioritizing us!

The roots of the Blue Lotus dive deep into the mud below the water and it's vibrant blooms rise above the water to greet the sun. The flower petals of the blue lotus open each morning, and close each evening. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter what you're going through, no matter what adversity you're facing (roots in the mud) you will rise above the water and bloom again. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every time you face adversity you get a chance at rebirth and you get to become who you truly are meant to be. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what potential do you need to live up to?

I love journaling on the Fall and Spring Equinoxes so I've put together some journal prompts for you on this day:

- What's something you've let go of this year that has not served you well?
- What's something unexpected that you've gained? 
- What is something you still need to let go of?
- What's something you'd still like to make happen this year?
