The Secret

I’ve had 5 people in the last week tell me about the show they saw on Oprah about The Secret.  This goes along with my post about visualization.  I didn’t know it at the time, but BFF had read the book, and was using some of the philosophy in what she had told me.
I’m not [...]

You know times are tough when you start thinking about seconds

Last summer I dated The Accountant. We met online, and he was a very nice guy. Not bad looking, intelligent, and fairly fun to be around. He was always extremely polite, and even though he often seemed nervous and unsure of himself, we usually found lots of things to talk about.

Clint Eastwood Speaks Italian? (and other Oscar observations)

As I sit here watching the Oscars, I am struck by a few things:

Random act of kindness or being used? You decide.

The day started out normally enough. I woke up, made some coffee, read the paper, and got ready for a dentist appt. Nothing too exciting, but nice because I knew I had the day (and the whole week) off, so things could move at a slower pace.
After the dentist, I went to BFF’s house to [...]

Some background: Mr. Could Be The One

This post is L-O-N-G. But, I suppose that’s how background stories usually are.
Back in early December, I met someone on Yahoo Personals that I was sure Could Be The One.
Here’s the first entry I wrote about him on my personal blog:

Hello world!

Welcome to my blog.
I am embarking on this new writing forum in order to share my thoughts and feelings about being a woman in her mid-30s who is still in search of The One.
Which One, you ask? THE One. aka Him. The guy who is out there somewhere waiting for me, or so I’ve told [...]
