A recap for those new to Big Girl Underoos

In 200 words, more or less.

I am a 29 year old divorcee (who cannot figure out how to include accents in her blog). I was on a dating frenzy during the months of December and January after having been married since I was 21. I have slowly and only recently narrowed down my relationship choices to one person, ironically the first person I went on a date with on the day my divorce was final. His name, for our purposes here, is Friendster Guy. He has many things in common with my X including name and many major upbringing things such as he is from NJ, an only child, and was raised catholic. He is nothing like my X in most all other ways. The biggest one being that he actually wants to spend time with me.

I also often mention High School Guy. He graduated with me but I did not meet him until 11 years post-graduation when his brother started working in my office. (The world is a very, very small place. Watch yourself.) High School Guy and I had a little fling but he has a commitment issue and I discovered having fun and hanging out now and then wasn't enough for me so we've decided on just friends.

This blog began as a place where I could regale the world with my new singlehood and either bitch about or celebrate my various adventures in dating. I must say, I did not have a single date I regret. I met some very nice men and I learned a whole lot about myself in the process. It ain't over yet of course. I'm not sure what turn this blog will take now that I find myself with someone starting to resemble a steady boyfriend. I'm still wondering how to bring up the blog to him. How would you feel if the person you had been dating had devoted multiple posts to your relationship? I think I'd be kind of annoyed. Hurt? I don't know. Since we met on-line I know he is internet savvy and down with the whole blogosphere but reading blogs and being the subject of posts are two very different things. I think I'll wait until we're a little more defined and my posts about our early relationship are a little further into the archives.

Ok that was closer to 400 words.

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu...

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...

Addendum to Resolutions

I'm adding two things to my New Year's Resolutions - 5) Read more using this list as a guide: 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I have no idea how many I've already read. I'll have to make a spreadsheet. You can do anything with a spreadsheet. Not that you should , but you can. 6) Get a massage every 6-8 weeks . This probably doesn't need an explanation. I had one for only the 3rd time this week. It's been at least 4 years since my last one. My gym has a spa attached to it and they had an intern doing free massages. Hello? Sign me up! Now that I've had one I'm wanting more. If I eat out less I might even be able to justify it. I wonder if I can write it off on my taxes?
