I was putting out vibes towards Frame Store Guy (who looks about 25 and has tatooes all up and down his arms...not, by some standards, husband material...but who am I to judge...) Anyway, I was putting out the vibes and seeing if I still got the stuff, and then I realized, I think I got it...but is this really the appropriate place to put it? And I then I had the I'm Officially in My Thirties Epiphany, that being a sexual being on this planet who is in touch with her sexuality, is a lot more about discretion than anyone ever talks about (i.e., Sex and the City). So much of the sex out there (from what I've heard...) seems to be about everything but celebrating (let alone respecting) the creative force of that energy. I'm not saying that boredom, insecurity, guilt, and a mis-directed desire for power, are bad reasons to have sex, just not my choices (for today). 'Cuz being empowered is really just good timing, and saying "no" is the only thing that makes "yes" a choice at all. It's so much easier to have rules and regulations about husband prospects, or lover prospects, but it always seems more complicated in real life.

It's really an art form, if you ask me (and I'm assuming that you are asking).

Just for today, I'm empowered to not flirt with Frame Store Guy.
