“How did you get up here so fast?”
“Secret tunnels.”
-Nacho Libre
We ladies have a surplus of ‘secret tunnels’ where we exchange info in the blink of an eye.
Have you ever wondered why you can go to the grocery store and run into your aunt’s neighbor who asks about your date which occurred less than 18 hours ago? Have you ever been puzzled that your co-worker knows about your toe injury when you don’t remember ever mentioning it?
This network can be both a blessing and a curse….
These tunnels can be beneficial in the dating scene. You better believe that someone will know the guy you are going on a blind date with.
Work this to your advantage. Ask around.
Work this to your advantage. Ask around.
However, be weary of having too large of a mouth because what you say will be heard by at least 40 other people. Even if it didn’t directly come from your lips…
The world is big, but it can also be oh so small. So we send a warning to all spinsters, but specifically those who want to mess with the spinsters: What you do and what you say will surge through the tunnels. It will seep through the vents or spread like wildfire.
Try to keep it contained ladies. The tunnels are our tools. There is a fiiiine line between blabbering and helpful tips.
Example: “Jenny, I heard you are making cookies for Roy. Just FYI, he is allergic to nuts.”
Statements such as these can indeed save lives.

Example: “Did you see Ashley’s dress? Woof!”
Don’t say this. She will know you said this and it will haunt your dreams.

This is SOO true!! Love this post. :)
ReplyDeleteVery very true. You can usually find out everything about your blind date with a little asking around! A little creepy, but definitely useful!
ReplyDeleteHehe, MY favorite part of this post was definitely the quote. Not only was it an uber-smooth intro, but ahhhh...Nacho Libre, The Three Amigos, The Princess Bride...these are the greats.
ReplyDeleteI loved this. I also want you to know how special I felt when you commented on my blog.
ReplyDeleteBut! This blog is true- just last week I was hanging out with my roommate's boyfriend and we were talking when he suddenly came to the realization that I was "THAT girl!" who had randomly kissed one of his friends.... in 2009.
