Rock-a-Bye Baby...

Something exciting happened recently...well, not to me...that would totally interfere with the whole mid-30's angst that I'm sporting. Madalene had her baby...2 weeks early! She was at work in Santa Cruz when her water broke. One of our supervisors happened to be there when it happened. He was petrified. For some reason Madalene decided that she could drive all the way down the mountain to the hospital on her own. Well, thankfully she made it. A few hours later, she welcomed baby Austin into the world. I have to admit that he is the sweetest little baby! So here are some pictures of my little nephew AKA Monkey. Enjoy!!

Looks just like Madalene!

Wakey Wakey!!

Yawn!

Bedtime!

My Issues with On-Line Dating

Ok, I may have said that my new year's res was to make at least one blog post a week, but aren't new year's resolutions made to be broken? Otherwise, it would suck the fun out of everything...can I get an Amen?? So, here's an update on my life so far.
The guy that I thought may have been the one turned out to be the one I should avoid. He is ca-ray-zay!! Which leads me to wonder...if these online dating sites are so thorough in their questionaires, shouldn't the "experts" analyzing them spot a schizo when they see one? Here's my beef with these sites...
1) a full background check should be done on these "potentials", in case they turn out to be..I don't know...psychos or dog killers or something...
(in said background check, it should also be confirmed that the occupation they have listed is legit)
2) the picture on their profiles should not be more than 3-4 yrs. old...color me shallow but a lot can change physically from the time you take it to the time you post it...
3) It should be noted to first-time online daters that what is listed on a potential's "must have/can't stand" list may in some circumstances be qualities that this person is actually guilty of...
Food for thought...chew on it a little.
As far as continuing with this site, I have decided to stick with it for three more months (length of my current membership). Before I got suckered by this current sucker, I was actually having fun dating. It's amazing how small my world is, and being on this site has exposed me to a lot of different people, good and bad, that I would not have met otherwise. I'm actually thinking about putting all of this material into a book....once I finish with my current one. I only have one chapter so far. :/ I think it would make for a great fiction read, and I have plenty of characters to inspire me.
I would also like to note that psycho has been texting me every day like we are still dating and leaving flowers on my windshield at work....just in case something happens, I want it known that his advances were not welcome and I will not acknowledge his communications in any way, shape or form. I'm considering changing my # if it persists.
