Confession # 64
I am a cliché.
Last night a friend and I went to see the movie “Must Love Dogs,” and there were certain parts of that movie that just hit too close to home.
Obviously, I too have and love dogs.
I too have two younger sisters who are up in my life.
I too have cute pajamas that I can be found in at odd times of the day.
I too worry about being that girl who sits at home all day reading Jane Austen and getting fat. Especially since “Pride and Prejudice” has its own special place on my night table. Hey! Mr. Darcy is my ideal man. (Both in Austen’s version and Fielding’s modern day version of the story)
I too have a different teapot for everyday of the week and for every different mood that accompanies that day, a teakettle that cost more than it should but is beautiful to look at, and the same stove!
I too often cook breakfast, lunch and dinner with my PowerBook sitting on the counter behind me, my window to the outside world. I don’t eat over the sink though; I eat in front of the TV with the TiVo remote and phone close at hand.
I too have a relationship with the guy behind the deli counter at the market, and the guy at the wine shop, and guy at Starbucks, and the guy at Pizza My Heart.
There is more, and there are also plenty of differences, but it still all equals up to the fact that I am a recently divorced older woman rediscovering her self, and I am doing it just like I should and like is expected and I too will find the right guy some day. And yes he must love dogs.
BTW… I am a XBOV, FCTE (Whatever that means)

I watched that movie too. It was cute and hit VERY close to home for me and my best friend. She has a personal ad that her mom paid for on a popular dating site. It's all more work than it's worth...I guess I figure this: Why would a handsome single guy have to put out a singles ad?? Then again, what do they think if they were to see mine?? Why does a self-sufficient woman who is attractive have to place an ad? I think it's an age old mystery.
Mr. Right is probably out there somewhere, coded in ones and zero's, flying through cyberspace....I guess I just have to be ready to catch him!
