I'm Gonna Be One Less

Last week I went to a doctor's appointment, and since I'm under the cut off age of twenty-six  I was given some information about getting the Gardasil vaccine (and all of the awful things that could happen if you don't get it).  Before I left the office, I had to get some blood work done, and when I finally left I was distracted and didn't even think about what I was holding. I got on the elevator on the fifth floor and had to stop on the fourth to let on a very attractive, seemingly single guy my age with me.  I smiled and made eye contact (just like the dating experts say to do), and I did not even get a smile in return.  Instead, my advances were returned with a look of absolute disgust.  I silently went over all reasons that could have merited that response (I even considered size stickers and smelling like manure), and then I looked down to see the paper I was parading around for all to see.




Needless to say, my pool of potentials has one less.

this is God's way of sorting through all the men out there waiting for the best. I swear the things that happen to you would make for a great 1/2 hour sitcom.

ok did you hear what Pam said? I know you've heard it before, and I think it's brilliant. Keep blogging friend, cause one day we're going to use this to write a wonderfully hilarious book.
in other words, I did what I do best and I started my blogspot on the right foot, lol... check it out.

this isn't really in response to this post.
i've forgotten to read your posts for a while now (since you gave up on xanga - boo). i just read the last 4 in a row, and i've got to say...you impress me very much. i wish i could have your strength to face yet another day when i know it's going to be the same people making the same decisions over and over again. your 'same people' can't help but make the same mistakes (really, neither can mine), but you love them anyhow. i bottle up my stories and dump them on xanga because i'm so blown away by how un-educated people can be. you tell almost the same stories - but because you're so in love with the journey.
anyhow, thanks for sharing so openly. sometimes, when i read your stuff on my lunch break, i have a markedly better attitude in the afternoon.
