Random Ramblings

No, really, I am going to hurt my mom!

After announcing on Father's Day, to the entire family, except my brother Doug who is perpetually late for family functions, that I gained a pound at my Weight Watcher's weigh-in, and letting me know she is still a size 6, and being overbearing around my niece, and smoking in front of my dad, who said that he has really been craving cigarettes lately (He had quadruple bypass early in the year, and was diagnosed with early emphysema, for those who don't know the back story) and for a myriad of other reasons, I really, REALLY want to rip her arm off and beat her over the head with it. I doubt any jury would convict me!

My defenses are now down...

There is a guy on Match who has been winking and e-mailing me for well over a year. I can't believe he has yet to get the hint.
I decided to wink back.
I used to tell people that if this were a job interview, his persistence would be a good thing.
Evidently, I am holding interviews for the job of being Mr. Right. No one has the resume I want, so I guess I'll just have to train them all on the job and not be so picky on qualifications.
And, many of these applicants think that they don't need to speak English very well. But one is totally hot, so he may make the first cut. :)

Shout outs

First, I have to give a shout out to Mark. He probably won't see this, though. He always forgets my blog address. But whenever I remind him, he asks when I am going to mention him.
Here I am mentioning you, Mark.
We met online. We talked around Thanksgiving, then lost touch. He had just moved to my fair city.
Eventually, he tried contacting me again. We talked. We went on a date.
He wasn't feeling chemistry, so he asked to just be friends. I was cool with that. So, here we are...friends...and he gets a shout-out on my seldom read blog!

Shout out to Bobert, who is the only person I know more inept at dating than I am...and yet he is the "guys perspective" I ask for. Never said I was smart!

Linae--sorry you have a cold! Hope it is better soon! Keep me posted on the wedding details!

If I mention Linae, I HAVE to mention Jolee and Patty. Met all 3 online and along with some other ladies, we all met at Mall of America in November. Had a GREAT time, and all three are as cute as buttons!

Marie and Peggels--met on the same online message board, that I no longer frequent, but would NEVER toss them aside! Unfortunately, Haven't met them yet. So sad.
(How is the job/house search going, Peggels?)

I think Diane reads this, and she is AWESOME! The director of one of the charities I volunteer for. She is my hero--and is younger than me! How does that work???

Not too many of my "real-life" friends come here, because they hear it all in person. And obviously, with the way I bitch about my mom, I never told family members about my blog!

Love y'all!

Why I am an idiot this week...

Well, there are two reasons.
I e-mailed Saccharine, after asking Bobert, who said I should, (see what I mean...we are PATHETIC!) and didn't hear back. I have made an ass of myself over this wiry, Joe-average-at-best, geek way too many times now. Done. Over. Lost his shot.

Also, I keep thinking about this guy I dated towards the beginning of the school last year. I miss him! I really thought he was my soulmate. I compare everyone to him. Which is silly, because I have met many men who were much better--on paper. But The Art Teacher is the guy I want to be with! Someone slap me so hard, I forget who he is! I wish there really was a company like the one in the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" or whatever it was called.
I'd obliterate him and make my life easier. I think. I'm not sure.



I guess that is all I am going to prattle on about for now. I am very tired and am getting up early to get my walk in...then I think it is off to get a pedi and a mani. I REALLY could use the R&R.
