2/2/3

otherwise known as 3/3/6 progress.



two downers down, one upper to go.



one of my very dear friends always reminds me that dating is a numbers game. and dating in numbers i am.



highlights (and lowlights) of the 2/2/3:

• date #1 (we'll call him hunter) is just that - a hunter. um...i live in the pacific nw and channel my inner hippie whenever possible. i'm not so in to the killing of animals with a gun. heck, i've never even shot a gun and some of you might remember that was a huge issue with the sheriff.


• the hunter doesn't just manly, twice a year hunt, he's a once a week kinda guy


• i may have suggested that he wear a kilt and re-enact braveheart on his next goose hunting expedition


• he may or may not have thought that i was being mean, but also funny


• the hunter does, however, have a current job that i find fascintating


• i can almost promise i will see him once more just for a private tour

and now for some tips for #2:

• if i'm hanging out with you on a sunday afternoon, it's probably best to look like you're enjoying a sunny pdx day not like you just came from your accounting job (which you don't even have)


• speaking of, please stop wearing pleated khakis - they're not flattering on anyone


• and also, could you maybe try a little harder to not look like you're 50? there's only a 6 year age difference between us, but i'm pretty sure the wait staff thought i was having lunch with my dad


• when i end the date by flippantly saying "good luck with your painting", don't open the door and ask if i want to hang out again. it forces me to be nice to your face only to have to tell you that i'm not interested later this week.

i probably won't update you on #3, unless it goes really bad b/c he....he's pretty good.

in other news, little ms. notetaker gave me some special honor on her bloggie the other day. i was really excited, but actually had to call to ask what to do with it. she and i both think i'm supposed to post it here so here it is and to share the love, if she'll allow the linkage (and we're not talking me), i'd like to pass it to rosie. rosie, you let me know if you can handle this.

happy monday, here's to a week in numbers...
