I took off from work yesterday. Lisa, Audra, and I went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. We were there for hours and we still didn’t get to see everything. The museum closed at 5 and we drove to the Bubble Tea House. I think their quality has gone downhill. I sent back the order of Sweet Potato Fries because they were cold. Even the warmer ones the waiter returned with weren’t as good as I remembered. Our meter was up in an hour so we took off and went to the movies. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. It wasn’t as good as the first one but it wasn’t bad either. I enjoyed it. All of us did. Hugh Grant’s character had us rolling. As we left the theater, Audra said: “That was truly a girl’s movie.”
“That’s because it satisfies our collective fantasy of marrying up!” I said. The movie is completely unrealistic. As if a man like Mark Darcy would ever have anything to do with a Bridget Jones is a joke. Bridget knows it. That is why she is paranoid he is cheating on her. She knows men never marry down. Unless you count height. Then that is almost always the case.
Anyone have any experience with Maltese dogs? A lady near us is selling Maltese puppies and Lisa is very much interested in adopting one. The pictures show the most adorable little dog in the world. (Excluding Lily, natch!) I just don’t know their temperment.
The last few days I have not wanted to do any work. This is very unusual for me. I am a workaholic and have a very hard time going home at the end of the day. I think it is because I am not in the office and I still have 3 weeks of vacation time that I must use or lose. I put in for Thanksgiving and the week of Christmas and the week after Christmas for vacation. I am thinking I will take every Friday off until the end of the year. That should use up the days.
I may have a date on Saturday with one of my eHarmony matches. He seems like a nice guy. He is bald and in the picture he doesn’t even try to hide it. Talking to him on the phone, I was shocked when he mentioned he was married before and I was very close to saying- Sorry, I’m not interested in a divorcee- but I realized that at my age I really can’t be picky and it is foolish to think that men in the age range I am interested in haven’t already been around the block a few times. So I am keeping an open mind.
Donna,
You can be as picky as you want. I can’t tell you how many friends I know have settled. I’m not just talking about settling for minor things, I’m talking about settling for MAJOR things. Be open minded, enjoy yourself. But know what you want, and I feel you have a great idea of who you are.
Anyways good luck, I hope things go well and take it easy and enjoy yourself. Again, don’t work too hard.

Sorry,I thought he was still married.Everyone makes mistakes,look at my last entry.Be sure he is not getting “was” and “is” confused.I have had that happen to.P.S. I still think your luck is going to change.
Nothing is wrong with bald guys– as long as they don’t try to conceal it. (Of course just a few days ago I was crushing on a guy with a comb over but that is unusual). A few years ago I was listening to talk radio and the subject was bald men. I called up and got on the radio and I waxed poetic over my love of the hairless man. Sadly they disconnected me when I started to talk about Kojak.
I used to date (that sounds weird enough in itself) a woman who owned a Maltese. Despite its status as a toy breed, it wasn’t especially yappy; on the other hand, no matter how much you coddled it, it acted like it was starved for affection and craved more of the same.
And (I am being delicate here) if you try any activities that don’t include the poor pup, they will be interrupted at least once.
