Congrats! I really hope it works out well for you :) It sounds like you had an awesome time.

Sid: Great minds think alike! We really *are* cybertwins. :)

Thank you for my first belly laugh of the day.

ciao

By the way, MLS now falls under my umbrella of the 3 unbloggables.

#1. I never write about my family. There are random times that I feel like blogging about my sister’s visits and/or my love for her, my brother-in-law, and my nephews. I’ve also mentioned that I’m parentless. Other than that, the rest is personal.

#2. I never blog about my friends and/or lovers by name. Hey, it’s not their fault that I have a blog, right? They’re just inocent bystanders. So, I use everyone’s nicknames, pseudonyms, or initials instead of their full names. For example, believe it or not, Le Canadien’s real name isn’t Le Canadien. ;) His life, as my other friends’ and lovers’ lives are, their own. Their business.

#3. I don’t blog about anything even remotely related to work. So, now that I’ve contacted MLS and that the whole thing has moved from “pipe dream” to “possible meeting”, (whether it works out or not) that’s the last that you’ll hear of it on my blog.

Howard: I loved the Flinstones!!! And the Jetsons … And Grape Ape. And Scooby Doo. Wait a minute. I had a point, here. What was it?

K: Okay, okay, I’ll tell you what the “surprise” is …[everyone else cover your eyes] … I had a really nice date on Sunday.

MamaChristy: I know. It was really refreshing! It was so relaxed and comfortable that it didn’t even feel like a “date.” It felt like I was meeting up with a friends for drinks … And, no, definitely not joining the Scientology whackos anytime soon. (No offense to the Scientologists among us.)

Mel Chickk: These are all pretty common in the upper Midwest as well.

belledame222: Lars? Hey, I thought we were going with the name Sven. Hmmm … maybe, on second thought, I should have chosen “Lars” or “Johann” since those are more typically Scandinavian. If this kid is in the picture for a 2nd or 3rd date, we’ll call him Sven Johann Larsson … Oh, and about the dinner, wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Firefly: Thanks, thanks and more thanks. :) And, about “sounding pleased” … it’s a curse. I wear my emotions on my face and in my voice. People who know me well can usually tell how I’m feeling just by looking at me and/or by the way that I say “hello” when I answer the phone. It’s a blessing and a curse. Blessing because I’m honest; what you see is what you get. Curse because I have *NO* poker face at all; I can’t hide anything.

date: sweet!

anti-pwcd-tips: awesome!

date #2: cross my fingers it’ll be just as great. you sounded quite pleased ;)

okay, need to be off! tah!

good for you.

btw: dropped by to say: you’d been interested in NYC blogger meetups? dunno if you follow the political blogs, but Amp from “Alas, A Blog” is organizing a dinner for August 1, which I’ll probably be going to. details here:
