C'est Moi
I am...33 years old, fairly liberal Democrat, Catholic, single Mother, severely critical of myself, patient with others, everybody's "friend" but nobody's grand passion, reliable, sensitive, and amusing. I am also infuriatingly complex, infinitely sensitive, somewhat intelligent, and lacking in common sense.
I love...my daughter, my family even though they make me even more insane, my pets, flowers, writing real letters on actual stationery, moonlight, lace curtains, chocolate, candlelight, being read to, hearing "I Love You," walks along Kelly Drive, and visiting art museums.
It hurts my feelings when...people make promises they don't keep; I get stood up for activities after I make plans; when people don't ask how I'm doing; when people don't know when I need to talk.
I prefer...
...brunettes over blondes, blondes over redheads redheads over bald men
...intelligent men to hunks lacking mental substance
...teaching to technical writing, but technical writing pays the bills
...Sunday mornings to Friday nights
...the stillness of Church ten minutes after the congregation has cleared out to the hustle and bustle of ten minutes before Mass.
...Thanksgiving to Christmas
...Matt Damon over Ben Affleck
...Richard Gere over Matt Damon
...it when guys IM, call, or E-mail me first
...coffee with creamer, but I've been known to drink it black to save calories.
...Einstein Bagels over a Krispy Kreme donuts
...shrimp to lobster
...fountain pens to ball point pens
...time on the beach to time in the woods
...time to myself over time with a group
...white wine to red wine
...wood furnishings over metal
...a vodka martini over pretty much any beverage
...Imported provolone cheese to American cheese
...Vanilla ice cream to chocolate ice cream
...Dark chocolate to milk chocolate
...When somebody brings me my coffee.
I daydream about...
...being madly, passionately in love with someone who feels the same way
...having long hair and being about six inches taller
...what it would be like to be well-off
...having a maid
...telling my boss what he can do with my current job
...planning my encore wedding
...dining al fresco in Italy
...having sex on the beach
...having my house completely renovated as it is taking entirely too long for my taste.
