Drive-by meara:

Dear God, is there anything more demoralizing than browsing personal ads?

I went to a women’s expo this today and there was actually a booth for matchmaker.com. I didn’t know what to think about that so I kept walking.

~ma for Susan’s family

Congrats to Aimée on the audition, to Joe for the new job & the cutest baby ever!

Congrats to Sean on the new nephew!

You know, I keep forgetting to say hi to StuntHusband as well. So hello and welcome!

Ditto. Welcome StuntHusband!

(sorry for the shortness and if I forgot anyone. I was trying to catch up on 350 posts before heading to bed. Night all!)

(exclamation points brought to you by the letter “P” and the number “3”)

Cold.

Snot.

Bleargh.

Theraflu.

BUT no work tomorrow.

What is a women's expo?

Why no work tomorrow, Erin? I'm jealous!!

OK, what's a good way to email someone, ask them out, and leave them a graceful out?

meara, you don't have to email me. You already know I'll go out with you.

I was at work for 17 hours today. That's just too many hours. But my paycheck, she will be mighty.

Spring Break. Thank jeebus, cause I am dripping snot faster than Pompeii dripped lava.

And "I would love to meet you sometime for a drink! I know your life is crazy right now -- do you have a break anytime soon?"

Sexy lady, you make me smile. :) It's the OTHER Virgo-I'm-wanting-to-make-out-with, besides you, though!

Obviously, she'd be SILLY to say no. But just in case she's that dumb, I want it to be easy.

Quit trash-talking me, meara!

This Virgo is netiher dumb or silly. I would totally go out with you --except for the not-gay, not DC thing.

Dear god, I forgot Erin was a Virgo too! I guess I should be more specific--the other girl-born-on-Aug-29-besides-Jen-and-me, that I want to make out with. :)

See? There are all these hot buffistas except they're not gay, and they're not in DC. USELESS!

I have no reason to believe she's crazy busy. (Though someone should totally use that line on me, that would work, often) I suppose I could make up something about her work schedule (she works retail, so it could, in theory, be that she's always working when I'm free, or something. But that sounds kinda lame...)

You could just be honest: I'd love to get together with you soon. If this sounds good, great! If not, well, that disappointing, but I'll still like you fine.

Good lord, first I have to drag up courage, and then you want honesty, too?? This is sounding like a crazy thing to attempt, man. I don't know if I've got all that in me.

But I suppose honesty might be the way to go. Eek. We'll see--maybe if I get bored at work tomorrow, I'll try to start crafting something.
