…even if I was afraid it never would. I’ve seen a profile for someone on match.com whom I simply *must* know. I don’t even care if I get to date the guy (well, okay, I DO care, but I’m not going to get my panties in a twist about it), but just want […]

Okay, I think it’s time to start a running list of statements in men’s profiles on match that make me snicker. Today’s beaut is a guy who’s looking for:
Someone that believes with convection yet has a very open mind and not afraid to express it.
Well, hallelujah, and bake me a cake!

Yes, I’m talking about class, you know, like castes? Lots on my mind about this today, so I might as well blog it. Along with that, I might just add a category called “Snotty Bitch.”
More to come…

Thanks (again) to Margi.

By the way, the guy from the other day (who made the comment about exes) did write me back, with good things to say. Besides that, I’m finding with each email, he’s pretty bright, AND HE CAN WRITE. Anyone who can write well has a huge leg up where I’m concerned.
That brings me […]

My daughter hit nine months today, so we’ve been busy doing the doctor thing, and my thoughts have more been on her instead of the topics that fit here. Good lord, she is so freakin’ tiny!
While at the doctor’s office, my pediatrician noticed a “hip click” on Maya’s left side. We’re being referred […]

A Quick and Dirty IQ Test

Funny thing is…when I’ve taken some (slightly, anyway) longer tests, I’ve gotten about the same numeric result. Not quite MENSA, but I’m okay with that. I’m […]

PLEASE. FTLOG, put on some bike shorts! Barring that, please have your spotter stand at the foot of the weight bench instead of the head while you do chest presses.

There have been a few “winks” (match.com’s wussy way of letting someone know you’re interested without actually throwing yourself out there), but those have mostly been of the “what the hell are you thinking writing to me; did you only look at photos???” variety. Fortunately, match also provides a single button to click that […]

On a lighter note, I got a response to my profile last night — the first one. Funny…pre-child, I would get maybe 5-10 emails per DAY when I first put up a profile. Now, I might get ONE every 5-10 days. That’s cool…much better to have the guys like that select themselves […]

How appropriate that I came across this comic today, considering that today’s topic is Morality.

I’m still reading Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller (reading is a catch-as-catch-can proposition with a baby in the house), and some of his comments really struck me. Not that I’m some Don-Miller-aphile or something, but really, he […]

Maya and I made a quick trip to BRU earlier. As usual, we encountered a pre-school-aged child who saw Maya and exclaimed, “Look! A baby!” This particular little girl was stunning, the daughter of a white AF officer (who was in uniform, holding her) dad and an Asian mom (obviously expecting child #2).
I […]

Would you please tell your creature the songbird that 3:15am oustide my window is *not* an appropriate time to start singing your praises?
Thanks.

Okay, folks…I did it. I uploaded a current photo and reset my match.com profile to active. YIKES.
Let the games begin!
Not that I’m into game-playing or anything.
Really. I wouldn’t consider it.
I used to be pretty good at the dating thing. It took me until perhaps around 26-28 before […]

So, for a little more than a month (since a friend handed me Blue Like Jazz and told me “You’ll get this.”), Progressive Christianity has been on my radar screen in a big way.
I suppose it’s been more losely on my mind for much longer — since I first heard of the book […]
