irony

ok, here i am, not even a month since i rant on being single.....and i have found someone. yes, i have. seriously.

i decided to give 'plentyoffish.com' a try. i don't know why. i had tried a few other online options before and they never quite worked out. this time, though, things seem to be heading in a very good direction.

so, his name is tom. he's 45. divorced. lives 10 minutes from me. one son in college. what else do you need to know? um...yes, he has a job. yes, he has a car. he is very attentive and romantic. it's alllllll good!

our first date involved dinner at the outback steakhouse (where the waiter flirted with me and tom joked that it would be a bummer of a first date if i had left with the waiter) followed by a trip to sarris candy. now, i have never been there, but i knew that they make the very best chocolate covered pretzels on the planet. not kidding. heavenly.

my next thing i will ponder is what to do with all of these 'friends' who don't seem to understand what this means. some are yelling at me that i am going too fast. some seem to think i need to stay single longer. i say that things happen when god thinks they should and that's all that matters to me.
