Hi, Michele!

Sounds like quite an ordeal trying to replace Kristen! Did you ever find out why she didn’t show up? And if she showed up the next day, was she fired?

Arnold stripping for you and me - what a lovely mental picture! I agree that although he doesn’t have washboard abs, he is pretty close to perfect. He is very manly and that is VERY good! As I said, he is ruining other men for me. Even Keanu, who is pretty fit in most of his movies and tall, which I really like. I think of him standing next to Arnold (that’s right - in his Mummy outfit) and I think, "Keanu who?"

That’s right, the preacher’s son is named John Inman, but believe me that he is in no way like the Mr. Humphries guy. I never mentioned Are You Being Served to him - although that would’ve been an interesting conversation starter.

Remember I told you a while back that my company here was expecting funding cuts? Well, yesterday they told our Business guy, Rocky, to only come in when they call him. In other words, I won’t look for him around here any time soon. They told me this morning that I shouldn’t worry about my job. Oh, I don’t. Maybe I will start working on an updated resume though.

In other news, I got angry at my mom and sis yesterday. I was eating supper and they were in the kitchen; we were all just hanging out. My sister was asking me about my day - I was chewing so I was giving short answers. Finally I start to launch into a (short) story and I see that my sister is talking quietly to my mother - that’s right while I’m talking. And what was so urgent as to require this rudeness? She was telling Mom where a fly had landed so Mom could swat it. I said, "never mind" and went back to chewing. I said very little to them for the rest of the day. Maybe that’s a little (okay a lot) childish on my part, but they should know that people not listening to me is my biggest pet peeve. Plus she had just asked about my day!

So last night before bed I was feeling lonely and crappy. This soon led to feelings of self-pity and a standard self-pity cry "I am so ugly that I will never find the One!" As I sit and think about it lately the odds of meeting and finding someone really great seem astronomical, and not in my favor I might add. I’ve had exactly the same thoughts as you about "taking matters into my own hands" - namely what if I mess it up? I also don’t really go anywhere to meet good guys (keepers, you could say). Should I go someplace new? Try some on-line service? Is it just not my time? If it isn’t my time, when will it be ?! If the Lord is testing my patience, I think I’m failing!

funny moment- from Keeping Up Appearances. Hyacinth and Richard are at her sister’s very run-down place to visit Hyacinth’s dad. With a look of disdain at the place, Hyacinth says to Richard, "Poor Daddy. I hate for him to live here. I’d have him at home with us if he didn’t slop his cocoa."

questions answered

how many rooms does your house have?- eleven.   den, foyer (does that count?), living room, dining room, kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.  Plus an attic.

when you brush your teeth, do you floss and use mouthwash as well- I floss when I brush my teeth in the evening - my dentist constantly nags me about flossing. Last time I actually received a little praise: "you’re doing a *little* better with the flossing." Thanks so much!

ever did anything or said anything embarrassing in front of one of your crushes?- I sang badly in front of John (and a room full of other people who weren’t my crushes.)

ever stumped on asking questions- definitely! I’ll only think of good ones when I can’t write them down and then of course I don’t remember them!
 =========================================================
New Questions

Feel like taking some time off from questions? sure . . . maybe we could stockpile some and ask them later . . .?

or maybe just one question . . . If you found out you were going to lose your job what would you do? Celebrate! Just kidding (?) - I would start looking again, but this time I’d really concentrate on finding something in my field of interest! I might take another part-time job in the meantime to meet expenses. (Let’s face it, the ***** one wouldn’t cover my gasoline bill!)
 =========================================================
That’s it for today. Talk to you soon! God bless!
