This made me feel good ... but old
I lost most of the weight I gained back during the holidays, so I'm able to fit into my not-quite-as-fat jeans. (I hesitate to call them my thin jeans. I have one more size to go before I can do that.) I thought I looked pretty good but, then again, I thought maybe it was my imagination. Then this happened: Before I went back to work after my dinner break on Friday I stopped at a store to buy a cup of decaf and a pack of smokes. I couldn't help but notice the cute, but young (just barely out of jailbait rage, I think) guy working the cash register. At first I thought it was my imagination running away with me and he couldn't possibly be flirting with me. But when I noticed that we were both blushing, I knew he really was. Anyway, at this particular store, they have to ask your birthday before they sell you cigarettes. I told him and he said. "60? Did you say 1960?" I said "Honey, at this age you don't lie to make yourself older." He said "Wow. You could say 70 and get away with it." I just may have to start spending more time at that store.

Stop!
The sports guy and I have been talking about a lot of stuff lately and, hard as it may be for some people to believe, he's helped me work out a lot of problems I've been having. We've had a lot of similar experiences and it helps to talk to someone who knows what I'm going through. But, dammit, he needs to stop talking to me about sex. That's just not good when I'm not gettin' any. However, I do remember a time when 3 months without having to have sex would have been a blessing. Now, well, 3 months is a long time!

Matchmaking Part II
I went to yet another dating site and, this time, I found a guy I know in person. I don't know him well. I've interviewed him many times over the last 10 years and talked to him for other work-related reasons. But, because this is a small town with a huge gossiping population, I know stuff about his personal life that wasn't in his profile on this dating site. His profile, on the surface, seems awesome. He would seem like the perfect guy. However, he should have started it with: "I like skinny blonde women with big boobs and small brains. If that's you, read on. If it's not, don't bother."

Matchmaking
Just for laughs I went to e-harmony.com and filled out the personality profile. It's been 8 days and they've only found one match for me and, frankly, I'm not interested in even meeting the guy. Their ads say the people they match you with will be perfect for you. Maybe I'm more screwed up than I thought I was if they can't find someone for me.
Also, just for laughs, I went to Catholicmatch.com to see what they could do for me. Part of their personality profile includes questions on how you feel about some of the church's teachings. One question is on whether you believe in pre-marital sex, which the church does not. I, on the other hand, do. I browsed some of the profiles and not one of the guys I found believes in pre-marital sex. Are they serious? Does that mean that these guys, between the ages of 40 and 50, have never had sex? Call me selfish and self-centered but, I'm not going to get married again so I can have sex with a 47-year-old virgin.

Man, that toast smelled good!
I had a dream last night that I was in the dining hall at college. It wasn't really the dining hall but it was, ya know? I woke up for a few minutes then went back to sleep. In my new dream, I was in my dorm room but it wasn't. Everything in the dream was what it was but it wasn't, ya know? Anyway, as I was in my dorm room I was thinking about going back to the dining hall to get toast but I was going to have to sneak back in because you can only go in once per meal. I woke up before formulating my toast-snatching plan. I still smelled toast. My Mom was making her breakfast and man, that toast smelled good. But I put myself back on Atkins induction, which means I can't eat toast for a while. *sigh*

Odds 'n' Ends
This could very well be my new favorite line from a movie:
"It’s also possible for a lawyer to be just plain stupid, isn’t it?" -- Henry Fonda in Twelve Angry Men
Or maybe this one:
"One minute you're an attorney, the next you're an imbecile." -- Regarding Henry The next line is something like "Not such a big stretch" or something like that.
Anyway, I wasn't planning on staying up to watch James Denton on The Tonight Show the other night. I just wanted to see Kirstie Alley but, I stayed up anyway. I'm glad I did because Denton had a really good line. During his interview he was talking about kissing Teri Hatcher for the first time. He was nervous and he knew it had to be good and they had to have chemistry or he was outta there because " ...the show's not called 'Desperate Plumber."

Everything but the game
I didn't really watch the Super Bowl. I did some sketching and drawing during the game and just watched the commercials and the halftime show. After that, I channel surfed for a while so if there were any good commercials after halftime, I didn't see them.
I think the two best commercials were P. Diddy and the Pepsi truck and FedEx. The "Stayin' Alive" Pepsi commercial, with the hunky guy, Cindy Crawford and Carson Kressley (sp) was good, too.
The halftime show was OK but simply because it was Paul McCartney. How can Paul McCartney not be good? But it was rather bland and safe.
I hope all the stars who are asked to sing the National Anthem from now on and want to make it "their own" saw and heard the military people do it. That is the way that song is supposed to be sung. Although, I will admit Whitney Houston did a nice job before the Bills/Giants game. Could be I was over emotional, though.
