apparently when you do searches on there, it brings up profiles ranked in order of how recently your potential matches have signed on, because once i didn't check in for a few weeks i totally stopped getting the winks and the emails and what-have-yous. then i logged on during a fit of boredom the other day, and suddenly i have a potential date on friday and several other men i'm conversing with.
(the potential date is with YET ANOTHER 25 year old, by the way. who has already joked that i'm "ancient." am glutton for punishment.)
so! i'll be sure to let you know how those go :-P
in the meantime, i have COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN to mention the OTHER trip currently planned: i'm going to blogher this year! finally! i can't wait! well, truthfully, i have virtually no interest in going to the panels, but i am SO EXCITED to meet more of you lovely folks. who all is going?? be my friend!
and ultimate frisbee starts up again this week, which will either be super awesome or mean i can't walk on friday. or both. and THEN! my lovely friend silvia is going to be in town with her fiance on friday night, and it's another friend's bachelorette party on saturday.
so i guess what i'm saying is that it's a good thing i did manage to unfunk myself, because i have a pretty sweet few weeks coming up, and i have no reason to be sulky at all. and all it took was buying a vacation in the caribbean to realize it, heh.
I am very excited for you! Things are looking up down here in Alabama as well. I think March just sort of sucked. The end especially, but not the very end.
ReplyDeletenevermind.
I would like to adopt your mom, please.
ReplyDeleteNo sulky is right! You have a ton of great things to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteBut why is your blogher conference labeled 2006?
I'll e-mail you about making a local get-together happen.
That's awesome your mom is taking you to such nice restaurants! I hope you'll bring pictures back to this space, if you're allowed. =) You know I'm going to attend BlogHer. And like you, I signed up without really knowing what I was getting into, other than the opportunity to meet other bloggers! Chicago in the summer is most excellent!
ReplyDeleteI have no interest in the panels either. I have an interest in shopping, eating, drinking and laughing. Or is there a panel for that?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet you!
I love love love Jose Andres so please say you'll tell us all about it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm not "going" to BlogHer per se (not registered or anything) but I'm just south of Chi and thought of coming up for a side meet-up with some folks. Maybe. :)
BLAST! I decided I wasn't going to BlogHer this year because my girls can't go... and now you are going?
ReplyDeleteI went to Cafe Atlantico once and really liked it. I think there was ceviche involved? And it was delicious.
ReplyDeletei can't wait to see you friday! and you are gonna kick butt in ultimate b/c you are a runner now! woohoo! btw, cafe atlantico is awesome (try the watermelon skewers w/ balsalmic(sp?)and pretty much anything else is good too). you will have to update me on eve, i hear tom sietsma rave about it all the time!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an awesome month!!!!
ReplyDeletekcinnova - HA, i didn't notice it was from 2006 when i put it up last night.. and now at work, my browser can't open the blogher site at all to correct it. OOPS.
ReplyDeleteraven - just come to chicago and play!! :-)
How come a BlogHim doesn't exist? I feel so deprived.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Cafe Atlantico! I haven't been to restaurant eve. I expect YOUR reveiws!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are out of your funk. You deserve better!
I'm so jealous you're going! Butthead. Please find Jen Lancaster and take a picture for me!
ReplyDeleteSo basically, those of us who are housebound, toddler-encumbered, NOT attending Blogher, and most certainly NOT going on other fabulous trips should hate you. Is that what you're saying?
ReplyDeleteNot that I would do that. I'm just checking.
omg have so much fun at blogher.. wish i was going, but i'm not :(
ReplyDeleteYUM I definitely want to go to cafe atlantico someday.
ReplyDeleteSo, I know I'm new and not only have I planned our hypothetical vacation but I am also looking forward to hopefully meeting you when you come in for Blogher...
ReplyDeleteOh...and it's makarlin from twitter.
You lucky girl! I wanted to go to BlogHer but have another trip planned this year and hence can't afford both.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have loads of fun!
I'll see you in Chicago! Can't wait to meet you
ReplyDeleteAww I wanna go to Blogher too! Me too, me too!
ReplyDeleteOh, Match.com. I remember signing up for it once during my six years of singledom (yeah you can see how well I did). Man, they picked the ugliest people for me - lol, sounds terrible but so true. I don't care if I am a perfect match with them, if they look like my brother, no way in HELL!
PS my 25 year old bf turns 26 next week. Finally, he's getting old!!
There are many reasons to wish to live in the States, and BlogHer is one of them. Damn the ocean and distance!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go to Blog Her. Maybe next year?
ReplyDeleteultimate frisbee is the shiz nat.
ReplyDeleteHad a birthday dinner last year at Eve.
ReplyDeleteTop. Five. Meals. Of. My. Life.
Everything was absolutely perfect. From cocktails through dessert, there was nothing to complain about. I'm not going to say I could die and go to heaven after eating there, but it was nigh on that.
hoorah! I'm going to blogher too! I'm so excited!! :)
