Strategy

I've decided that my strategy to meet men is to say yes to every invitation I receive to any event whether or not there will be men there or not. This is what my last 7 days looked like -

Friday I went to a men's hockey game where I saw (ok stalked with my eyes) a cute boy from my gym and was then able to start a conversation about it with him later in the week.

Saturday I went to my nieces birthday party and then the drag show where I got all sassy with a feather boa and some lesbians.

Sunday I played in a volleyball game and there were two new cute guys there that I had not met before. And I finally got to talk to the ones that had already been there.

Monday I helped some friends in a play writing class (all women) by honing my acting skills and reading their pieces. The plays are very good and I'm having fun doing it.

Tuesday I stayed home sick but felt much better in the evening so called a fabulous friend who invited me to dinner at her place. I met a nice man who probably knows other nice men and has promised to say hello at the next happy hour event we both frequent so we can both meet other nice people of the opposite sex.

Wednesday I had another volleyball game and instead of going straight home - despite it being already an hour plus past my bedtime - I went out and had a drink (ok water) with all the guys on the team and two girls.

Tonight I've already had a margarita and appetizers at a local Mexican place (there were a few nice looking gents there. Good to know they exist.) and am just biding my time until I meet the volleyball team at another bar where one of our teammates is doing open mike. I'm all dressed up and ready to go because so far the team has only seen me in workout clothes. I'm working a black low cut dress this evening folks. I wore it to work so it's not too risque but it's probably about as sexy as I get. We'll see what happens.

So far no response from Friendster #1 but it usually takes him a few days. Plus, I'm trying to work on patience. In the meantime I'm going out and meeting people - male, female, gay, straight. It's all good.

P.S. I am such a light weight. I had one margarita and was all sorts of tipsy. Thank god we ate a little before we left. I got up to use the ladies and wasn't sure I was walking straight. Gentlemen, I am a cheap date. One alcoholic beverage and the rest of the night I'm drinking water.

A Phone Conversation: Me: "In the spirit of full disclosure, I should let you know I am signed up to auction myself off at a batchelor/batchelorette auction next month." Friendster Guy: "How much does a single girl go for these days? Will I have to bring my checkbook?" Right thing to say Friendster Guy. Right thing to say. Also, today is Compliment Day. According to this site , this day was created in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, NH. and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, NH. Sad that it took until 1998 to have a Compliment Day while National Pie Day began in 1986 (thanks American Pie Council and Crisco), and National Handwriting Day started way back in 1977. Spread the love today. Compliment 5 people. By the way, you're fabulous. * Mycology = the study of fungus

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

TMI re: Nuvaring

Let's just state right up front that this post is going to contain too much information. It's about birth control, the prescription kind. Any modern straight gal must think about it unless they like playing russian roulette with their ovaries. (Thanks N for correcting my previously heterocentric sentence.) There is nothing fun about birth control except that you can kind of have sex without freaking out that you may get pregnant. Of course you may get pregnant anyway (joy! rapture!) simply because the gods are not smiling upon you and you are the one in 100 for whom the statistics suck. Pros of birth control: You are less likely to get pregnant. Sometimes your skin clears up. Less severe cramping. You have control of your own destiny, sort of. Cons of birth control: If you are on the pill you have to remember to take it every day. Sometimes, as in my case, it can make you think you are bipolar, even at a low dose. It's just a general pain in the rear end that makes you par...
