for another great opener Onjel. Hee for Angelique's wedding dress design. Just think Spring. once word of this creation hits the internetyou will be like Vera Wang. People will be all "Get me a Spring." "I want to wear a Spring." And we'll be all - gosh. I knew her when. Well - get yourself engaged, and I'll design you a gown also! Well that might take a little time since the sort of bf is no more. I'm not so devastated because how can you have a real relationship with someone who doesn't read books or watch any of the television shows I adore but . . . . . . . still I could have done a little better I think datingwise. So far my new dating life is: 1. One date with exbf who I then told I didn't really feel that way anymore and he got REALLY MAD. 2. Two dates, numerous texts and phone calls, with person who had a cool boat but then on 3rd date clearly wanted to have sex and I kept putting off because I did not want to so that ended. So my goal is next time, if there is one, work up to an actual 3rd date with someone. But hey making progress. Hee!

Did you Jon Hamm fans see SNL? He was pretty funny. And lots of naked chest.

One of the things I really hate about this age is that by the third date they guys seem to think they're somehow entitled. They tend to get very huffy if you're just not ready. Great times for the Parkers out there.

They never pressured me. It's sad to hear that is an oddity instead of normal.

I am taking off for Seattle on Friday, planning on staying a week and returning home the following Saturday. My sister got there yesterday right after Dad got home from the hospital. They had been thinking of sending him home last Friday, after having had the surgery the Tuesday before, but Mom talked to his doctor and they decided he wasn't ready, so they kept him until yesterday. Dad had the flu while he was in the hospital, which helped slow his recovery. I talked to him a little bit yesterday and he was his usual smartass self, but drugged up and a bit vague with it. When I told him I needed to talk to Mom to finish a logistics conversation, he complained that it was a "conspiracy of females" so I told him "Hey, yeah. Welcome to our world..." So it'll be nice to see them and my sister, even if it's not under such good circumstances. I'm hoping to be able to take a bit of time and maybe go to the Woodinville winery for some R&R and pretty scenery. Be nice if they lived closer to the beach because, even though my therapist would disagree, I can't just take off and leave them in order to satisfy my urge to get my feet in some surf-sand. Later, gators.

Maybe I can get there for his birthday in March. March is such a load of bad memories now, it's a good plan to get away.

I suspect I should just go ahead and assume I won't get any work done on Wednesdays from now until Lost is over...

I didn't finish watching the ep last night, but I did read the comments and was glad and not so glad to read that it didn't really matter because it looked like everyone was still confused as to what the hell is up with that frickin' island.

Hey! I can see images! Y'know icons, photos, stuff like that! In fact, I can see everybody's images except my own. D'you suppose that means I'm a vampire? I wonder how long it's going to last. Until you get yourself staked or flambéed?

Just go and enjoy and if the guy doesn't measure up - move on. My 3rd date ended with being snowed in with Nick...so the fates were at work there. But hey - 3 years is a long time, and you know, I wasn't getting any older. Luckily, it worked out, but it could've went the other way, and I still wouldn't have regretted it. But you both have to want it and any whiff of PRESSURE from the guy is a reason so say 'see ya!' Sorry the ex was still a douche. Now what did we learn from that?

Oh, and in the spirit of fairness, I have something GOOD to say about my ex. He called me yesterday and, unprompted by me, offered to take the kids for the whole time I'm gone.
