Hi there all,

I just got back from a couple of days in DC for the job. I posted in Craig's List under the platonic section asking for someone to have dinner with. I emailed back and forth with a few guys and eventually chose one for dinner and had a really nice time last night. He was smart, funny, and a gentleman. He even insisted on buying dinner even though it was meant as a friends kind of thing. Turns out that he's really cute and I found myself attracted to him and.... he's only 5'9". I am sure you all have heard me say I am not attracted to men under 6'. Hal, in particular, will enjoy my eating crow so I thought that I would share the experience.

I had drinks with a friend planned for after dinner and he came along for the first part of that too which was really nice. He is here for work every few months and I am there now and afgain so hopefully I will see him again soon and see whether I can kiss someone who is barely taller than I am. I may have to buy some flats...

Yeah, psycho stuff. I feel pretty sane when I watch these maniacs. I don't know about this guy, either. I gotta say, I am impressed that he's not tonsil-hockeying everyone yet.

Ah well, now I have to leave work and go to the gym for an hour and a half to keep up my non-size 4 body and dream about the yacht and the drinks. And, oh yeah, I guess the man, too.

I don't know that I could let anyone cut my toenails.

I loooooove getting pedicures.

As for the man - we must have a similar type. I like mine tall, dark and handsome. Intellectual with a little bit of goofy and a little dash of metrosexual. Sense of humor is also huge.

Wow - it's nice to dream. Right now I am just trying to keep a positive outlook on tomorrow's oral surgery and the recovery. I am listenting to 'Beautiful Day' by U2 over and over again beacuse the song literally lifts my spirits and I need to keep them up right now.

I'd be nervous if I were you, too.

Thanks, Ruby. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but now I am starting to hurt and my mother is still at the pharmacy getting my Vicodin. Apparently there was a 45 minute wait. Argh.

I get really sick from anesthesia so I had it done under a local. It was OK until the whole saw on jawbone part. But I did well and am now home trying to keep myself distracted. And waiting for my pain meds. Ugh.
