Wow. Guess it could always be worse
In light of recent troubles with my gas bill, this story was particularly distressing. The guy owed about $1,000 (sound familiar?) and lived in MICHIGAN when the electric company shut his electricity off. I don't care who you are or what you owe, it should not be possible to shut off people's electricity in the dead of freaking winter. They should at least have a forced drive-by with a "hey dumbass your electricity is going to be shut off and freezing to death sucks."
I can't afford being a girl, let alone, a Diva.
OK, so I had to have a visual aid. It hasn't been two weeks and look how far they have grown!! Seriously, they are way out from the nail bed, and they have grown so much that you see the white of my nail and then a space before the white of the solar nails. I've been promised that this is just because they are new. They will not grow at this meteoric rate for long. (Can we pause and appreciate the irony that I put the stupid things on because my nails were in such bad shape AND not growing at all?)Yikes. I had convinced myself that at every 3 - 4 weeks it wouldn't be so bad, but this is NOT OK. And yet, here I am dating away. I can't have my hands look like crap. Hello, it is a package thing. Wrap me up and put a bow on top.
Oh, and I need to make an appointment to get my hair cut. Augghhhhhh
Speaking of which, I thought I would review my dating path in the last several months, I'm trying to keep my head on straight and be relaxed. I don't want to be cutting guys off immediately, but I don't want to hang on long after I know I need to be walking. Know what I mean? Let's check my progress.
We had
Date #1, met for brunch, my general response was that I could imagine he was still single because he was clearly ego-centric. Didn't hear from him again.
Date #2, the orthodontist. Let's see, chose Spaghetti Warehouse as his place to impress me. Told me that it was some kind of test to see if I was a gold digger. (Paaleezzeee) Started getting all freaky touchy on me immediately, tried to do me in the parking lot, asked if I wanted to get in the car and "make out" - uh, NOOO, put doggie bag on dashboard and allowed it to spill all over my car. Ok, so he was texting me madly before Thanksgiving, but then disappeared, let's assume he got the hint.
Date #3, Very nice on first meeting, but the second date let it all out, showed up late, had no plan whatsoever, told assinine stories that he thought would be cute???? blah, blah, blah I'd like to add that I kindly emailed him the morning after the second date and told him I didn't think we were a good fit. He was shocked, he thought we were perfect. I sent a response of why I though this, and he replied with uh, I guess you are right. Yes, yes I am.
Date #4 This is when the twittering began. Nice guy, but really no connection, and then he called 8 days later. I'm looking to inspire a little more interest than 8 days later, oh, I thought I'd say hi. Ok, well, this is me saying by.
Date #5 . . .To occur. New guy. Has 3 kids (Yikes) youngest is 16. We talked yesterday for almost an hour, got along pretty well. He seems very straight forward, which I have to tell you, I really like. He's funny, interesting. Sounds very country. More to come.

My first post on Want
Ok, so it is 4:21 and I am sitting on my duff. I had a headache first thing this morning, but it wasn't too bad. I got going on the day, but long about third period I could feel the headache turn into a migraine. I took a pill and it definitely helped.
I'm sitting here with a headache again. I went almost a year without any migraines. It was really nice. The BF and I were talking about how tired we are of having headaches. So, my first big want for February, I want to be without a headache all of the freaking time.
I'm also really tired. I know I joke all of the time about hanging out and not doing much, but a lot of stuff that I do is just exhausting because it is all brain work. I get home and I don't want to do anything. Walk the dogs, hang with friends. Nothing.
On the other hand, BF and I have discussed that I'm not sleeping at night, and I probably need to get more exercise. Quite the conundrum, don't you think?

Taking no chances
After yesterday's near miss, I thought it would be prudent to go ahead and blog now, rather than later.
At the moment I am on hold for GoDaddy because my log in for my soon to be cool website isn't working.
I'm not twittering too much because Betwittered this fun gadget on my igoogle page isn't working properly. Apparently Twitter thinks that Be twittered is one person posting a whole hellofalot rather than a bazillion people twittering through this application.
The fax machine is on the fritz but I can't just buy a new one because we are upgrading the school phone system and it seems not all fax machines will work properly with the new system.
The people that know and love me sit through long periods of silence on the phone waiting for me to realize I've (once again) put them on hold with an ear that operates independently.
Remind me of how great all this crap is.

28 in 28
Day one of the 28 posts in 28 days, which is fine in theory but a lot of pressure in reality. I don't know that I have anything to say today, but I'll be damned if I crap out before I even get started. That would just be wrong.
I spent the afternoon with my parental units yesterday. Had some gumbo for lunch (DE-licious) AND I got a to go container to have some for dinner.
We also bought a dressmaker's form for my bday. I'm totally on a sewing kick right now (although Mom is, technically, doing all of the sewing at the moment.) The dressform wouldn't be such a big deal if I were a straight size but I'm short waisted and just shaped funky. Sigh. At any rate, hopefully, this will help to make it easier to make the clothes. The first skirt is done, and the dress I'm hoping to wear to the opera in a couple of weeks is almost done.
Oh, and I shouldn't be blogging at all right now. I should be cleaning, but seriously, what fun is that????
