The "Too Single" Crew: "Too" Soon For An Update

Meet the newest newest member of the “too single” crew…

Kimberley has always been a friend of the “too single” crew but never quite made it in. Kim’s never really been “too single” because she’s always wound up one way or the other being “too taken.” But after ending a year long relationship and a romantic foreign excursion and a series of dates, Kim is single in the seminary and ready to become an official member of the crew. Kim is formerly of the “nobody’s” (you know…the people you love to hate) up until recently her and Jessie decided that they were now Fabulous, Fun and Flirty! Kim took time out of her busy schedule yesterday to take a 2 ½-hour walk (all by herself!) and she discovered that she is passionate, gutsy and sensitive and loves God all the more because. She has concluded this: She might flirt with you. She might wink at you. She might even invite you over. But she is NOT gonna give her heart away. And that’s all there is to that...humph!


A Haiku for Ashlee:

Ashlee’s ex-boyfriend (5)
just moved into her building. (7)
God! Give her a break! (5)
Ashlee's trying very hard! (7)

That’s all.

KHRISTI’S INBOX: FROM ANDRE, Sept 13, 12:26pm: “Just want you to know that I have not been on a date the entire summer. In fact, my last date was in April.” He may be hopeless and miserable, but he sure did have a heck of a 26th birthday party. Over 100 people, 80 of which he did not know all gathered at the infamous Delta’s restaurant with their 80’s themed gear…all to help make him forget that he is knocking on 30. Unfortunately, the party had to end…and he remembered. Still working very hard at being a “good guy”, he still manages to make it to church to repent every now and then. Shhhhhhh….Andre may have a crush on new “too single” member, Kim…he just doesn’t know it yet.


“I experienced the whole match.com dating thing this summer.” Jessie says.
“Does that work?” someone asks.
“Well you know…I’m not married or anything so…”
“Sooooooooooooo….it doesn’t work?”

Khristi is equally as excited as she is concerned that the “too single” crew is multiplying. Seeing that this is her last year in seminary and all, she has been working endlessly, doing what most people should be doing entering into their last year of school... diligently, planning and organizing…you know…field trips and stuff for the girls so we can have lots of fun this year. We may wind up broke, but we sure are gonna have a good time. She has no comment on her single status…but she has a confession to make: "Ever since I saw Russell Hornsby in King Hedley II with his shirt off, live on stage...I haven't been able to get him out of my head." Rebuking the image hasn't worked and she's since been hooked on "Lincoln Heights."

Ebonee admitted to the voicemail that she’s beginning to see a pattern in the men that have been approaching her. They’re either separated, divorced, or have children (plural). “Is it me?” she asks. Could be. But while on vacation 3,000 miles away from home she managed to meet a young man and a Christian one I might add. What are the odds? His name... is Light and he is a professional airbrush painter. Mad deep man. Maaaaad deeeep.
It’s unfortunate at how sleepy she has to be going to work in the morning, because if she’s gonna make it work with him, she needs to make it work with his 3 hour time difference. Good luck.

No one has heard or seen Tosha in weeks. Who has she met and what kind of mess has she gotten herself into???? But there is a "too single" field trip next week and she owe's Kim $60 for it so she has to turn up sooner or later. Hmm. Stay tuned…
