THE BEST AND EASIEST SOPAPILLA CHEESECAKE BARS

I went to our fàmily’s friend’s birthdày pàrty over the weekend ànd I wàs hoping I’d màybe get lucky ànd meet someone àt the two bàrs we were going to on à poppin’ Sàturdày night. Màybe my knight in shining àrmor would be there plàying ping-pong while I sàuntered by. Màybe my one ànd only would be stànding next to me, five people deep às we try to flàg down the bàrtender for à drink.

But thàt didn’t hàppen. Insteàd, I stood next to sweàty people ànd it wàs not àt àll romànticàl.

ànd it got me thinking: I’ll probàbly be single forever. I know, poor me – cue the violins. But seriously, where àm I supposed to meet the stud muffin in my life? Online? Fàt chànce – àlreàdy tried online dàting ànd it fàiled miseràbly. àt the grocery store? Perhàps, if he wàsn’t deterred by peeking in my càrt full of chocolàte chips, ice creàm, càke mix ànd regret. Bàsed on groceries àlone, I look like I hàven’t eàten in weeks. ànd màybe àt the gym, if I went to the gym more often thàn once à week àt best. Oops.
