It's almost New Year's again and I have no prospect of a kiss...


First, I'd like to say thank you to Eric for reminding me of the slacker that I am. It is only because of you that I'm updating. :)

So, there is really nothing new going on right now. Which is actually terribly sad. My Christmas was bittersweet. Fun in the usual way it's fun but sad in the new way that it's sad too. To be terribly honest, I'm glad it's now over. Can we just fast-forward through New Year's? I know I shouldn't wish my life away but this time of year is just plain depressing when you're alone.

An update on the on-line dating situation: Oh wait, didn't I just say there is nothing new? Three months to meet one guy that turned out just wasn't that into me. Ok, so I'm going to be fair. He was at first. He was very attentive... Called when he said he would, took me out on dates, wanted to kiss me and hold my hand. But then we found out we had some differences that we were both unable to budge on. Too bad. I truly do wish him the best. He's a super nice guy and I hope he finds what he's looking for. My eHarmony subscription is up come January 5th and I'm not particulary leaning towards renewing. Do you think that's a sign of me not wanting to do the work? Or just a sign that I'm fed up? Why can't it just be like the olden days when some hansome man caught a glimpse of a nice girl and they went on a few dates and knew they were meant for eachother so they got married, THEN HAD SEX, and then lived happily ever after? Why can't it be like the not so olden but still old days when you could meet your future husband while dragging State Street? Is it just me, or is it harder these days to meet a nice guy? I'm sick of this crap. I just feel like this whole finding and meeting your soulmate should be so much easier than this.

I just finished a book called "He's Just Not That Into You." It was a really fun book and comes highly recommended by me to anyone (well, anyone female) that is single. I feel like I've been let in on a few guy secrets and it did give me a little inspiration and a little insight to a typical dude's behavior. How much good will it do me though?

Ok, so enough depressing blog. Thanks for letting me whine a little. The best part of Christmas this year was watching the Boomer. He loves tissue paper! He unwraps his own presents. Take a look at the pic!

Don't wanna be a blog tease!

I don't want to be a blog tease. I guess it's time for me to post another one. There's not much going on right now to blog about. At least not yet anyway. So I think I'll blog about something kinda random. Random like on-line dating. Yes, I've started up again with eHarmony. This is a secret so I probably shouldn't be posting it but what the hell, right? As long as you don't mention this to my face in public. If you do I'll deny it. To be completely honest, I'm terrified. I used to be an eHarmony warrior. Seriously, Dr. Neil Clark Warren would've done good to put me on the cover of his book. But I think he only does that if the relationship actually works out, which of course, none of mine have. Yet. Am I a glutton for heartache? Some people might think so. When I did this last time I met some pretty cool guys. But they're all cool when you first meet them. Then they turn out to be dirt bags. Ok, so not all of them. The last guy I seriously dated that I met on the dating service I actually fell in love with. Stupid, huh? He was so undeserving. I shied away from on-line dating after that disaster when I should've kept right on a-going. Just to prove that he didn't get to me. But then I wouldn't have been giving anyone else out there a fair chance. Well, I feel better now and I'm finally starting to get excited about it again. I'm talking to a few guys at a time which is hard for me but the challenge is kind of invigorating! We'll see how it goes. Right now if I can get past logging on and actually checking my options out without the accompaniment of a diarrhea-attack I will have made a giant step, and guess what?! Tonight, I did it! Woo-hoo for me! I think my new e-card from Eric was just the perfect anti-diarrheal remedy for me. :) You should take a look. I'm a 10!

From my new favorite friend, Eric

Blogging?!

Hmmm... So here it goes. A blog.

My grandma thinks a blog is sooo not a good idea. I clean my grandma's house every two weeks, or sort of every two weeks. The "I-hate-house-cleaning" bug bites me periodically and causes a delay in the bi-monthly clean. While I run around vacuuming, scrubbing toilets, dusting, sweeping, mopping, (well, you get the idea) my grandma is either snoozing or watching the ever-running CNN. Just listening to those CNN people never stop talking about the news exhausts me even more than the cleaning. They're always mentioning some CNN blog or another. A couple house-cleanings ago my grandma asked me what a blog was. I described it to her as best I could, as an on-line journal. Due to elderly people's unnatural fear of ID theft, she was very concerned about me putting any personal information on the Internet. Well, ID Thefters! Come and get me! And Grandma, don't worry about me. I'll keep an eye out for the Bugaboos.

I really only decided to become a blogger so that Eric will put my face on a dancing body in one of his e-cards. I feel left out of the dance club. :( As soon as I have pictures posted, hopefully I'll be invited into the e-card dance club...
