So I log onto people.com to see blaring at me.
Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem Wed!
That bitch stole my future husband. Here I was minding my business, working hard at my accounting job, smelling like fish, waiting for my opportunity to meet Mr. Bardem so he could fall in love with me. And boom just like that, that leggy, beautiful, Oscar winning, sultry Latino swoops in and marries the future love of my life. I honestly don't know what he sees in her. Big mistake Javier, HUGE.

Who else????
Had a serious case of the Monday's today??? I did I did!!!!! Just busy at work all day. I have apparently putting some weight on because my pants were a little toooooo tight all day. This of course should not be surprising since I have basically been in an eating competition with myself since Mem'l day.
Thankfully I made it home from work by 6:30, got a run in. Had some leftovers in the fridge from cooking last night, or else I would have for sure ordered in. Which would not help the tight pants problemo I am facing. Now I am settling in to a documentary about the Rockefellers. I have a serious infatuation with the seriously rich. Bad day is turning into a good night!

My Year on Match.com
I have mentioned here and there about the fact that I was on match.com. I spent the better part of a year on and off. I have decided to stay off at this point. It just didn't really work for me. I am the type of person who works off a spark, I found it hard to find that spark on match, correction I find it hard to find that spark over a computer, I can't blame it on match.com specifically. During that year I went out with probably a dozen guys. Very few made it to or past a second date. In fact I don't think I went on more the 2 dates with anyone. Although I will say that is not odd. If I know I am not vibing with someone whether I was set up with them, met them in person, or online I don't take it past a second date.
A couple of single people have asked me about it, and whether they should join or not. My response is always you have to put the time into it. If you want to join and then just hope that tons of guys are going to contact you that won't happened. What I learned is the more active you are, the closer to the front match lists your profile. So you have to be on there searching for people/e-mailing/winking. Otherwise your profile will get pushed to the back of the search engine.
You also have to be okay with rejection. You may wink/or e-mail with someone and they are going to not pursue it based solely on the pictures you have. The hard part of this is in person you can kind of tell why, if you are not their type, or whatnot. Online it seems a little more ouchy when someone rejects or ignores you. If you are someone who is even slightly insecure really think about if you are okay with that.
You also have to be outgoing. One of my pet peeves was when someone would contact me, than basically have nothing to say other than I like your profile. Come one people learn to small talk online. If you are just ehhh about someone based on e-mails and phone conversations don't expect to wowed by a great personality in person. Likely if someone can't keep up a phone conversation they can't keep up a conversation in person either.
You are still going to meet the guy online who only wants to get laid. Being online is pretty much the same as being in a bar these days. Those kind of guys are still looking for only one thing. So if you are going to sleep with someone on the first date at least make him pay HA. I say this because on first match dates I would offer to split the tab a lot, especially if I knew I was not interested. The guy who you are into and really like and is giving you match-hope. If he takes your money, that's a red flag this guy is not relationship material. He is looking for one thing.

Gurgle, gurgle . . .
This my friends is my new favortie thing.
It's called the Gurgle Pot.
It's a pitcher or a vase or just a really great piece of pottery.
When it's in action - like so -
It makes a fantastic gurgling noise.
Brilliant!
Comes in many colors and 2 sizes.
I found them here.
And am debating between the large white and mini cobalt or large cobalt and mini white.
Decisions, Decisions.
It's totally AWESOME
That I have a zit on the edge of my lower lip. It not only looks great but it has it's own heartbeat. Totally not distracting me at all. I am able to work on the month end close without counting the beats/taking the pulse of my zit. Ei Yi Yi
But hey it's Thursday already, so I can't complain too bad. I wish America made it mandatory to not work more than 4 days a week.

Hell to the Yes
"I’m starting to learn that psyching yourself in, not out, is 80% of the battle. Tell yourself that you can just fucking do it. And you will."
-Vie via www.theviesociety.com
I think this quote is so true. Half the battle of anything is believing you can do it and/or that you deserve it. Our own insecurities, self doubts are our worst enemies. I have in the last several years done things I NEVER thought possible. I have also figured out things I thought possible were not for me. But you know what I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't tried. The good things in life don't come easy. They don't fall in your lap. With everything bad that comes your way learn the lessons and make lemonade out of lemons.
