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,

4th Of July, Celebrate

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.
