Since our first date was forever deemed the BEST EVER, Matt decided we should re-create it six months later. EXACTLY as it was. Pro: Very sweet idea. Everything had to be the same. Including the clothes. Con: The jeans I wore on that fateful night six months prior were “holy hell suck it in” tight shrunk in [...]

Let’s see, what should I write about… By a show of hands, who wants to hear about Ben’s first day of fourth grade? Hmm, I count one. Thanks Aunt Sheila. I’ll email you. Who wants to hear about the Cubs game we went to in Chicago last weekend? Anyone? Anyone? Wow, no Cub fans [...]

Last night I introduced The Best First Date Ever to Ben. I probably should work on a better nickname for him. Or maybe just call him T.B.F.D.E for short. What better way to get boys to know each other than in a setting where they can interact but don’t really have to talk. This is [...]

This post is inspired by the fantastic first date I had on Tuesday night and the perma-grin I have had glued on my face ever since… 10) you have to go to the bathroom so bad but don’t want to miss a beat of conversation; so by the time you finally go you can barely [...]

It had the makings of a perfect first date. The texts between boy and girl were flying until just minutes before they met, filled with such giddiness it was palpable. The mid-summer weather was perfect. White puffy clouds with robin egg blue sky behind. And not a hint of humidity; which greatly pleased the girl [...]

Well well well… eHarmony you little devil you. Pulling out the big guns this holiday weekend huh? I’m the first to admit when I’m wrong and thanks a “Free 4th of July Weekend” offer that eHarmony had going, turns out they might not be totally worthless. Go figure. I’m not going to go into details [...]

Since clearly my experience with eHarmony has been a bust, it got me thinking. Granted the subscription was only $30 but think of all the other amazing things I could have done with that hard earned money. Please read this in David Letterman’s voice.

Keep your panties on, this post isn’t in regard to my love life. Although I will say that eHar-meanie hasn’t been AS mean lately. I have actually gotten some emails and responses. So… thanks Jack! More on that later, if there is anything to tell. But I HAVE been getting lucky in the Blog Give [...]

Yesterday, in regards to my blogging about the fantastic results I’ve had to date from eHarmony, I got the following comment: Sorry to hear that your journey on eHarmony has been a bit rocky so far. But be encouraged; there may very well be many ways to improve your experience. For one, you may want [...]
