Allison,
Happy one-month anniversary of our first email!
Love you,
M

Is that all it’s been? Seriously? Wow — that hardly seems possible.

Since I’m not in the mood to blog any of the deeper topics I’ve had in mind (work and worth, parenting and punishment as examples), I’m going to blatantly steal from a post by Orange at Bitch PhD:
Oprah Winfrey recommends keeping a “grateful journal” in which you “list five things that happened this day that […]

If you haven’t wandered over to Maya’s place lately, I told a semi-condensed version of the story (you know, the whole marriage thing) over there yesterday.

(phone call this evening)
Him: So, should we have a theme for this wedding?
Me: Hmmm…well, there could be James Bond; that’s nice and elegant. But, would that make me Pussy Galore?
Him: How ’bout you could wear a halo? I could be Molested by an Angel.
Me: Oh! It could be a divine wedding! […]

Keep reading for a moment or two before you retchingly assume I’m about to spew saccharine.
First things first, between returning to Effexor in mid-July and having a severe loss of appetite related to the whole love-thing, I’m now back to roughly my pre-pregnancy weight (upper 130s). I say roughly, because as a girl who […]

Jiggety-jig and all that jazz. I didn’t finally leave Santa Fe until this morning, and it was torture to do so. You’d think that after five days of nearly 24/7 time with someone, you’d get a little tired of them. Nope.

I mean, do these people look happy, or what? Do […]

Dispatch from the road:
Meeting came much faster than I’d originally planned — Thursday afternoon in Santa Fe.
All is well, and I’m very happy — and laughing that a short time ago I questioned whether I was capable of feeling anything. To keep it simple, I will be seeing a lot of this man for […]

We’re off for a few days while I take my boy-dog to his breeder down in southern Arizona. It’s a sad trip, but we’ll get to see family and friends along the way, so that eases the sting a bit.
Here it is, early in the AM, and I’m finishing packing. Now. Oh, coffee. […]

I talked to him again this evening, and at some point, I asked if he’d ever watched “House.” No, he hadn’t…but now that I mention it, his housemate tells him that he looks like a guy on the show, Robert Sean Leonard. I told him that I wasn’t surprised, because I’d noticed the […]

Some men still don’t read.
Not long ago, I added a not-so-subtle hint to my profile that any man who’s actually interested in me should write, not wink. I still got winks. Several.

Okay, maybe I wasn’t direct enough. I modified the end of my profile to say this:
PS: You don’t send winks. If […]

Funny how that works.
Last night, I had a spur-of-the-moment meetup with someone from match who’s just moved here, and is primarily seeking new friends (with a relationship in the long run being an obvious benefit). I like him, and whether chemistry develops or not (frankly, I didn’t look for it, but I definitely was […]

Updated below.
Ha…I found this in my “who’s viewed me recently” list:
Sure you can find all kinds of guys on match, so below are some of the types of guys who you will probably find on here… (Okay, I am a smarta$$… but it’s fun…)
1. Mr. Pretty Boy: — Hey, he looks good on your arm, […]

Oh, the things you find by reading science blogs. God, I love sci/medblogs.
From Amy in the comments at Orac’s place:
I think, to be successful in Internet dating, you need to use a site like Matchmaker.com, where there’s a good filtering engine, and also put stuff in your profile that filters out, in this girl’s […]
