Happy Friday!

I've been in a good mood for the last few days. Part of that is the weather -sunny, warm, springlike - part of it is that I've gotten to see Friendster Guy pretty consistently. We had lunch yesterday and a couple of my co-workers saw us. One of them, my single and sassy friend V, saw me afterward and we chatted a little. Friendster Guy is very tall and slender and V said in singsong, "Tall, lean and lanky, and ready for hanky panky." Is that the grown-up (I use the term loosely) version of Sassy and Friendster sitting in a tree? I was amused. And replied with "No comment" and a big smile.

So, my good mood. I'm not going to knock it. I'm hoping to use it to my advantage and get a bunch of stuff off my plate today. By the time Friday rolls around I'm warmed up and ready to get stuff done. What I'm doing the other four days until then is beyond me.

Oh! And someone has said I am "hot." No wonder I'm in a good mood. He didn't even say it to me but to a female friend of his/mine so it was an honest to goodness compliment with no Sassy prompting. It makes a girl feel good.

Have a great Friday everyone. Whether you're in a good mood or not. Here's a picture of some happy sculptures I took when I was on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco last year. They were just hanging out on someone's roof saying hello.

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

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

Everything old is new again...

It's been 10 years since last I posted here. Ten. Years. I guess it is true that things on the internet never disappear. I'm honestly shocked I was able to log in. A quick update: Friendster Guy and I split up, amicably, 2 years ago. Since then I've dated 3 gentlemen, the most recent of which lasted a year but once again, ended. Amicably. I'm excellent at breakups apparently. I have just reentered the world of on-line dating and was thinking how I used to chronicle my exploits here. A lot of things have changed in the interim - texting, Facebook being open to all, the ubiquity of camera phones, a new generation of dating sites/apps. But, a lot of things haven't. Men are still...men. The technology may have changed, but the people behind the scenes are still the same. The main difference is that I'm now 15 years older. Maybe, just maybe, I'm also wiser. And maybe, if I cross my fingers really hard, so are the gentlemen I end up meeting.
