A Random Snapshot Of My Life

Evangelical ex-drug user? At my Starbucks the other night. No, I did not ask him to be a part of my study.

As for Starbucks, the wonkiness of their internet connection these days is annoying me. It’s not just the one next door—the same night I got disgusted and went up to Indian School to use that one, it knocked me off there too.

I have signed up for speed dating on the 10th. It was marketed as being for those in the 28-40 range with “professional degrees.” Sadly, they don’t have Smiths themed speed dating out here. And this is free. Any suggestions on what to wear and what to talk about? Have I mentioned that I’ve had 2 dates in 4 years? Have I mentioned I’m pretty unskilled at the dating thing?

The average US per capita consumption of oranges is 12.3 lbs per year. I have eaten 10 lbs so far in 2009.

I made the mistake of looking up comps for my house on trulia.com the other day. Maybe it wasn't a mistake, because wow. I hadn't known it was that bad. As I told Genevieve, you can now buy a house in Birdtown for $35,000. I have much less of a problem walking away now, because it's just a race to the bottom at this point. And I can now go and buy things I need like car insurance, bras, and new glasses.

Hmm. Speed dating attire is a complicated one. I don't know how sexy or conservative you may want to dress, but my advice is, wear something you LOVE so you are nice and confident in it. Don't buy something new just for that. Except bras and new glasses, those are totally valid.

I would want to wear something like this with a red cardigan so I could cut down on the cleavage if I liked. Then maybe tall brown boots and a big honker of a necklace. But that's just me. If I had loads of money. Good luck!
