60 Days Man-less...

Recently I have been reflecting on my actions with guys and have come to the conclusion that 60 days without certain male interactions would be a GREAT idea. So what made me come to these conclusions?

First and foremost, the past week in my life of men EXPLODED and came to a head last night when I faced my repercussions. The cruel nature of some of my actions with guys came to light, showing me that it's time for a change. And we all know the best way to begin change is to take some time to think things out.

So starting today 10/26, I will be man-less. Now this just essentially means that I will be only hanging out with my guy and girl friends - my inner circle if you will. Any men that fall outside of that category will have to wait until I'm done thinking about what I need to do before they see me again.

Is this the best thing for me right now? Absolutely. At a time when I have a roommate who is just getting over the hump of her healing heart, along with the addition of my new little bundle of puppy-joy Penny to our household, I think Jess Holloway without a man is all for the best.

What I hope to accomplish during this time:
1. Get a better understanding of what I actually want from men.
2. Have more time to focus on the puppy and getting her used to her new home.
3. Have time to really focus on healthier eating and concentrated workouts.
4. Assess my job situation and really lay out the next 5 years for myself career wise. No more playing around.
5. Less drinking - I know, that one sounds impossible. But I have to do it. I have literally lost GIANT chunks of time recently - no good.
6. Fix the finances - I need to build up that savings for the summer shore house!

So this is the beginning of my quest. And I will clearly update you on how I do - but day 1 has definitely been rough already. All I can think about is everything I did last week, and how much I may have screwed things up with people who were more worth it than a 1 nighter. Wish me luck...it's gonna be a long road ahead.
