I went on a date last Sunday night with this super awesome, sweet, sweet guy. After the date I wasn’t sure if I liked him. I came in and did my nightly ritual of putting on my pajamas and watching Bravo on my Georgia cable tv. As I sat there watching Flipping Out, there was just one thing about this guy I couldn’t shake from my mind. It was his casual use of two words, which I consider worse than profanity… “cool beans.” Oh my gosh, I’ve gotten to the point I can’t even say them out loud they annoy me so much. Like really, who in the world still says (or has ever said) cool beans? Maybe I’m just a snooty, but if so, this snooty girl can’t stand to date a guy that says cool beans. I’ve tried to forgive him for it, but he just keeps saying it. And he has now on three separate occasions even typed it into a text message! Like seriously, he has no shame. I’m going to either have to get over it, or prepare myself for the weirdest break up conversation ever. I fear it’s going to be the later.
