Waiter, there's too much pepper on my paprikash*

I think I was most interesting, in a bloggy sort of way, back when I was still going through my post-divorce dating frenzy (see archives from Oct 05 to about Feb 06 when I finally settled down with Friendster Guy) Don't get me wrong, my life is much more fulfilling and I'm super happy now but when it comes to exciting stories for other people to read and hang on my every word, well, it's not quite the same.

At some point, now that I've mostly settled into my new apartment, I may be able to give you a play by play on my thesis writing. Won't that be a treat. It won't be interesting but it will be frenzied. I have to have a draft by March and considering that I started it in September 05 and it is now November 06 I should be a lot further along in the process at this point. But now with the holiday season upon us...

I think I'll have to make December NaTheWriMo.

* There is no point to the title of this post other than I just finished watching When Harry Met Sally while lounging on my couch trying to shake this freaking cold thing I seem to have adopted as a pet. And speaking of pets, here's a picture of Max, the dog my brother and his girlfriend just adopted. So ugly he's cute, no? Like a little Ewok. Yub yub.

Mycology*

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...
