A pastor in California said that marriage is an institution and if we change the definition it won't be an institution anymore.  But the institution of marriage is constantly evolving.  It wasn't that long ago that women weren't allowed to vote or own property. They were considered the property of their husbands and had no recourse if they were ( Read more... )

Date #3 went well, too.  This one was with the Guy from Last Year.  I could tell he was nervous at first, but we got a good conversation going.  He told me about his trip to Alaska, I told him about my trip to England and he loosened up. He made me laugh. He's definitely a laid back, quiet sort of guy, but with a wicked sense of humour.  After ( Read more... )

Ok, so I've started online dating. I decided it was time to get out there again. So last Friday I went out with a guy we'll call The Doctor (not THAT Doctor. I totally wish). We met for lunch at the mall and then walked around a park.  It was nice. He's very smart and interesting so we talked all about smart, interesting, intellectual things.  But ( Read more... )

Lately I've been up and down.  Good days and bad days.  Today's a bad day. I guess it started last night when John asked if I'd come work out with him, and since working out was on the docket anyway, I said ok.  It started out good.

Today was a funeral service for a co-worker who passed away Sunday. So it was a really hard day in the office. Pretty much the entire Business Office came to her service and there was hardly a dry eye in the place.  She was a wonderful person and we'll miss her very much ( Read more... )

Ever since I ran the race last year, I've been excited about this year's Corporate Challenge. Not only do I want to beat my time from last year, I want to make it a big event in my company. Out of a company of about 2500 people, we had 8 participants. LAME!  We can SO do better. I want a big tent, pot luck, coolers full of beer and pop, a big giant ( Read more... )

In case you missed it on Facebook, John and I broke up on Tuesday.  Things aren't great for me right now.  We were supposed to go out with my friend Corrie Friday night but when I told her we broke up she suggested she and I go out for pizza and beer. I suggested we invite some other people and make it a girls night out. Now, everybody knows that ( Read more... )

John and I were supposed to go to Corning NY this weekend to see the Glass Museum. We had it all booked, tickets, hotel, classes to make our own glass souvenirs.  But he had problems getting the parts he needed to fix his car and he was totally stressed out about it and so we ended up cancelling our reservations and are going to have to go another ( Read more... )
