Are you in your late 20s/early 30s? Are you looking for a significant other? Really? So is Mike!
Who's Mike, you ask? Well, Mike is a guy who recently moved home to Boulder, Colorado, from working/vacationing in the financial district of San Francisco, and he's looking for a significant other.
Think about it. When you go home for holidays and special occasions with the family, are you inevitably asked about the "someone special" in your life? Yeah, so was Mike. Over Thanksgiving he was asked if he was seeing anyone special, to which he quietly answered "No". Very soon after that, he decided he should do something about it.
Maybemike.com was born. Less than a week into the Internet adventure, Rothermel says the Web site is already bringing some hope into his single life."I am confident it'll work. I still don't have a date for this weekend, but I think this will work," he says as he lets out a chuckle.
Rothermel is 31 years old. He runs a dotcom consulting company out of Broomfield. He says he's had plenty of dates in his past, just nothing that's stuck so far. He likes photography, architecture and traveling. And he says he's looking for someone to spend the rest of his life with.
"I'm looking for someone who is smart, someone who is sassy because she knows she's worth it, and I'm looking for someone who wants me rather than needs me," he says.
It's just a simple web site with some simple information about Mike, and a few simple questions for any gal who might be interested. A very clever way to meet new people, eh! And as he said, if nothing else he'll have a great story for next year's Thanksgiving get-together. ;)
I received the following from my oldest friend (we've been friends since we were 2 years old!) today and I just HAD to share it with you! It is so funny and SO true! LOL I'm pretty certain that I have said ALL of those things to my children at one time or another! LOL It's called the "William Tell Overture for Moms". Enjoy!
William Tell Overture for Moms,
We get to go to my son and daughter-in-law's house tonight and watch fireworks with my genius, gorgeous grandson!! 
I can hardly wait!!
Whatever you and yours end up doing, make it safe and make it FUN!! 
Bye! 
So I was sitting in the livingroom watching Dr. Phil this afternoon (btw, did you see today's show? egads, what a family!), when suddenly I heard this very funny noise. I was perplexed, because the noise I heard sounded very much like a cow mooing. I listened for a little longer, but heard nothing, so I went back to my show. Well, about a minute later I heard it again, and this time I KNEW it was a cow! I'm thinking to myself that perhaps a cow got out of a pasture and wandered into town (believe me, it can happen!). So, nosey me, I go out to the back yard to look around for a stray cow. 
I see absolutely nothing. Knowing I had heard a cow, I was even more perplexed as to where it was. As I was walking back into my livingroom, I happened to glance at my monitor screen on the computer desk in the corner. Then I burst out laughing - I had completely forgotten that I changed my screensaver last night to an animated meadow, complete with flying butterflies, chirping birds, and yes, you guessed it, a mooing cow! 
I laughed so loud that I startled my dogs! Oh man, I am such an idiot!! 
Idiots, Cows, Mooing, Screensavers, Cows Mooing
Sometimes I amaze myself at how stupid I can be. 
I was watching some TV this morning and noticed that for the second day in a row, the county in which my son and daughter-in-law live was under a tornado watch until 9:00PM. I called my DIL to tell her, as I know she likes to be aware of that stuff. She wasn't happy to hear it, since my son is out on a train and won't be home until tomorrow afternoon sometime. She said she doesn't feel as safe with him gone. I reminded her about how good it is that they have that great basement in their new house, and how that will keep her safe. She agreed. We said goodbye and I hung up. I went back to watching my TV show.
It wasn't until about 20 minutes later that I realized I was watching a show I had TiVo'd last night. All those warnings and watches scrolling by on the bottom of the screen were for YESTERDAY! 
I called her back and told her she has an idiot for a mother-in-law, which made her laugh. I told her why. She laughed harder. I felt stupid. We agreed it was good news for her. 
Mothers-in-Law, Stupidity, Weather, TiVo
You know, I'm up all hours of the night thanks to my insomnia, and I see all those date site commercials on TV with all their hot guys and gals, and I wonder ....
What about the ugly people? Don't they deserve to find their one-and-only, just like everyone else?
Take, for instance, Billy Bob McKansie. Now, he enjoys line dancing and being patriotic. All he wants is an All-American girl. Nothing wrong with that, right? So why shouldn't he have a shot at true love? I mean, just because he likes watching war on TV and worships George W. Bush doesn't mean he should be alone forever, does it?
Does it?
Hello??

Woo Hoo! Guess what! According to Variety, "Winner for most unusual piece of development this pilot season goes to ABC, which has turned a series of quirky Geico commercials into an actual half-hour comedy project.
'Cavemen' will revolve around three pre-historic men who must battle prejudice as they attempt to live as normal thirtysomethings in modern Atlanta."
I think that rocks! Those caveman commercials crack us up! Especially Hubs. He's gonna get a kick outta this when I tell him.

It was 3 years ago when I wrote this post about my 12 week mark without cigarettes and how hard it STILL was, unlike what I had read numerous times about quitting the habit. When I went back and read that, I suddenly realized it has been AGES since I even THOUGHT about a cigarette! Actually, the smell of smoke makes me feel like hurling now. No joke. It's disgusting. I am so happy that I quit!! 
Wanna a laugh? I got the following in an email from my sister. It's too funny what some people will put in an advertisement!

Do any of you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County? Oh man! Do you think those women can even grasp true reality? I mean, they live in a fairytale gated community, for gawd's sake, and own like a gazillion dollars worth of shit and think it's NORMAL! One of 'em ( Jeana ) owns FOUR houses so that each of her 3 kids will have a house to live in when they move out (they're BIG richie rich houses, too!), and said she doesn't think it's strange or anything because "everyone does it". HUH???!!! Don't tell my kids that - they'll start demanding real estate for their birthday! It boggles my mind to watch people like that. It's like ... a super weird study in sociology or something; a documentary of the tribal customs of the super rich. LOL If you take a look at the web site I linked to, you'll see that the housewives actually have blogs. Now, I don't think that that is strange (obviously), but check out some of the comments they get - the MANY comments they get! I can NOT believe how invested people get in watching them on TV!! I mean, some of those people are downright pissed and very rude! LOL It's pretty funny actually. Wow. What is it about reality TV? I think it takes us away from our own not-so-perfect lives and distracts us for an hour or so which, in some cases, is a blessing I suppose. Geez. How sad, eh? Or maybe not. Oh well. Either way those rich biotches totally need to come live with me for a week and see what life is like out here in the REAL world!!
