Yes, he's a boy. He just likes pink blankets.

Spending money the day I get paid
On these hot Michael Kors shoes.
It would probably be better to pay my rent. But my rent doesn't look so hot on my feet.
Speed Dating...
Yes...Liz and I did it again. 
It was actually kind of sad...there were a few...special...men there. Let's review them all.
Oh...and then ran into a dude I work with.
It was actually kind of sad...there were a few...special...men there. Let's review them all.
- 1: a teacher. Alright. I spent most of the six minutes talking about how he'd be good for Liz. Then he picks me...
- 2: Boring. I don't remember anything else. All I wrote was boring. Maybe I fell asleep.
- 3: I liked this guy. We talked about data and research. Which...as it turned out...is not a very good first six minute date conversation, because I think I bored him to sleep.
- 4: Had a British accent. I don't think I actually listened to anything he said, just the sexy way in which he spoke...mmmmm...Mr. Darcy...
- 5: Poor poor number 5. I can't remember why though. Oh yes I can. Sad news. And, in the six minute date, he specifically said he does not want to date someone with kids, then went on to tell me stories of rejecting chicks with kids. Later, he picked me and said he could learn to "deal with my kid." No, I'm not joking.
- 6: Ok...I kind of liked the military guy. You can punch me now. Please.
- 7: Our local celebrity, reserved for Liz
- 8: Dumb, dumb, dumb. I even made up a song for him. It goes dum, dum, dum, dumb, dumbdumddumbdumb... Plus he didn't know how old his kid was.
- 9: The truck driving chipmunk. I don't think he got the "I didn't pick you, thus I'm not interested" hint, as he's emailed me fiddy times already.
- 10: Motocross guy. Probably just good for one thing...
- 11: I think this guy was on drugs. Seriously. No, for reals.
Oh...and then ran into a dude I work with.

This song makes me lol...maybe I'll write my own song about ways to lose a man...
Lyrics -- One Hundred Easy Ways to Lose a Man
© Betty Comden and Adolph Green, music by Leonard BernsteinRUTH
NOW THE FIRST WAY TO LOSE A MAN --
YOU'VE MET A CHARMING FELLOW AND YOU'RE OUT FOR A SPIN.
THE MOTOR FAILS AND HE JUST WEARS A HELPLESS GRIN,
DON'T BAT YOUR EYES AND SAY, "WHAT A ROMANTIC SPOT WE'RE IN."
Just get out, crawl under the car, tell him it's the gasket and fix it in two seconds flat with a bobby pin.
THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO LOSE A MAN.
HE TAKES YOU TO A BASEBALL GAME,
YOU SIT KNEE TO KNEE.
HE SAYS, "THE NEXT MAN UP AT BAT WILL BUNT, YOU'LL SEE."
DON'T SAY, "OOOH, WHAT'S A BUNT? THIS GAME'S TOO HARD FOR LITTLE ME."
Just say, "Bunt? Are you nuts?!! With no outs, two men on base, and a left-handed batter coming up, you'll walk right into a triple play just like it happened in the fifth game of the World Series in 1923."
THAT'S A SURE WAY TO LOSE A MAN.
A SURE SURE SURE SURE WAY TO LOSE A MAN,
A SPLENDID WAY TO LOSE A MAN.
JUST THROW YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN HIS FACE,
HE'LL NEVER TRY FOR SECOND BASE.
Ninety-eight ways to go.
THE THIRD WAY TO LOSE A MAN --
THE LIFE-GUARD AT THE BEACH THAT ALL THE GIRLIES ADORE
SWIMS BRAVELY OUT TO SAVE YOU THROUGH THE OCEAN'S ROAR,
DON'T SAY, "OH, THANKS, I WOULD HAVE DROWNED IN JUST ONE SECOND MORE."
Just push his head under water and yell, "Last one in is a rotten egg" and race him back to shore!
THAT'S A SWELL WAY TO LOSE A MAN.
YOU'VE FOUND YOUR PERFECT MATE AND IT'S BEEN LOVE FROM THE START.
HE WHISPERS, "YOU'RE THE ONE TO WHO I GIVE MY HEART."
DON'T SAY, "I LOVE YOU TOO, MY DEAR, LET'S NEVER NEVER PART."
Just say, "I'm afraid you've made a grammatical error -- it's not 'To who I give my heart,' it's 'To whom I give my heart'"-- You see, with the use of the preposition 'to,' 'who' becomes the indirect object, making the use of whom imperative which I can easily show you by drawing a simple chart" --
THAT'S A FINE WAY TO LOSE A MAN.
A FINE FINE FINE FINE WAY TO LOSE A MAN,
A DANDY WAY TO LOSE A MAN.
JUST BE MORE WELL-INFORMED THAN HE,
YOU'LL NEVER HEAR "O, PROMISE ME."
JUST SHOW HIM WHERE HIS GRAMMAR ERRS,
THEN MARK YOUR TOWELS 'HERS' AND 'HERS.'
YES, GIRLS, YOU TOO CAN LOSE YOUR MAN,
IF YOU WILL USE RUTH SHERWOOD'S PLAN:

Grammar captcha
I wish that I could use this captcha instead of the random letter one. Shanny found it, not me.

Random thoughts
1. I still have not named my puppy. We tried out The Dread Pirate Roberts (Westley) for a while, but I couldn't remember Westley. I think I may call him Puppy until Aimee comes home and then she can name him.
2. I've decided to expand my summer of yes (to everything but Dumb Boyfriends, Dino, and Dilapidated couches) to a School Year of Yes.
3. Puppy is cute.
4. I'm glad to go back to work.
5. Some things I've said yes to:
a. Hung out with Shanny in Denver. Pictures (with props) are to come
b. Went to a Sky Sox game with Liz
c. Had a BDay/Monk Season Premiere party with Melodie. There was cake, pin the wipe on Monk, pina coladas, pineapples, and Indian food. Can we say perfect night?
d. Was the Birthday Princess
e. Saw Mamma Mia
f. Got a puppy (duh)
g. Went back to work. Yay!
h. Hung out in Breckenridge with my family. It was so nice to do nothing for a week except play dominos and go to the pool. And eat delicious crepes.
i. Had a jewelry party and got lots of free stuff.
j. Went to Row 2's going away BBQ.

Third to last day of summer vacation
And I spent it working. But not any working. I spent the day at the US Senior Open 
working in a concession stand. I do not understand how I always seem to get myself in these sporting predicaments. But our department had fun goofing off together. And I got asked out 3 times (2 by some very old men and once by a not very old man. I did not extend my yes policy to any of them, as I had some of my students with me). And I made some tip money. Anyways, it's back to work on Monday. Hi-Ho.
