Joani in Skokie, IL… otherwise known as Lexi’s Mom!
Remember the contest this month when I asked you to send in your perfect metaphor for “What’s it like to date as a single mom?”
I asked my Big Girl, Mae, to pick a name out of a hat (actually, it was a little blue plastic toy bin), and she was more than willing.
Listen to Joani’s entry:
“Dating as a single mom is like…. eating a pint of (Ben & Jerry’s) ice cream when you’re on a diet.
You know that you probably shouldn’t…. but you crave it, want it, need it, and think that doing so, even against your better judgment, will be ok!”
A copy of Single Mom Seeking is on its way to Joani. Love the metaphor! Congrats! (I’d go for Peanut Butter Cup — and you?)

Ironically, my favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavor is Chubby Hubby! (Sadly, I have no good feelings lately about anything with “hubby” in it.) But this was a fun contest and I liked all of the entries.
Fondly,
Lexi’s Mom
