Calling all Single Men!




Well, today I was less than productive, but what else is new? I did talk with my dear friend, Sarah, who is always full of fun stories and interesting anecdotes. I also talked to my sister, who told me about how her 19 month old, Danny, likes to babble conversation at her. It is interesting the way that toddlers will speak in all earnestness to you as if you can understand them, yet they really are speaking jibberish. Gloria's picture was published on the Naperville Sun website for Halloween, which I discovered after one of the nursery workers at my gym said she saw her picture.
WebMD is a hazardous website that should come with major warnings. I have had this strange tingling in my feet and hands, as well as pain and weakness in my wrists lately, so I went to WebMD to check my symptoms. I end up convinced that I have MS and envisioning my life of debilitating pain while freaking out. This is not the first time that I have been freaked out by WebMD. Last time I was convinced that I had kidney disease. A similar thing happens when people take Psychology classes. Suddenly they are exhibiting signs of OCD or personality disorders. Personally, I had that problem taken care of since I had already been diagnosed with Schizo-Affective disorder and Clinical Depression. Funny how those diagnoses turned out to be so far from the truth. I have no doubt that they had my best interests in mind, however their skewed diagnosis really altered the course of my teenage life.
I have been working on a singles ad lately and would love feedback. Here is my profile:
I like long nights sitting in the dark, crying and clutching a bottle of cheap wine. I also enjoy walks through the cemetary to admire headstone artwork, talking about my late husband, and complaining about my fibromyalgia. I am seeking a man who likes long depressing talks, late night phone calls of inconsolable crying, and who wants a girlfriend who freaks out at the slightest thing and will cling to him in fear and desperation.
So, how does that sound? LOL. I am obviously joking. Nothing like a woman with a lot of baggage to make the men come calling.
