Little this, little that

So on our way to Atlanta yesterday morning, my sister and I hit a very big tire from an 18-wheeler that ripped the grill off the front of her car and left a huge dent in the hood. Fabulous! Fortunately that was the only damage- no broken windshield or anything- and we made it back to Augusta safely yesterday afternoon.

Today we came to SC where I will be until Sunday evening. I actually got the whole weekend off without requesting it, so that was a nice surprise! Mom, Stevie, and I are working on craft projects we found on Pinterest. So far we have made the crayon canvas things, the platter stand thing made with plates and candlesticks, and are getting ready to put pictures on wood with modge podge. We are some seriously crafty ladies.

I have been taking a break from Facebook since my vacation. I didn't get on FB the entire time I was on vacation and I have not really been on there very much since I got back. I haven't posted a single status since before I left for Myrtle Beach, but I have posted a picture (of the tire damage) and my blog posts. After taking time off from FB, you realize how stupid it is to sit there for long periods of time and read every post. Don't get me wrong, I like knowing what's going on in the lives of my friends- the whole point is to keep up- but I do not care to spend hours at a time just staring at  FB. I even moved the app from the "home screen" on my phone to one of the other pages that I swipe to so as not to be tempted to get on there from sheer boredom.

I started this post for a reason- there was something awesome I was going to put here- but I don't remember what that was, so I am going to end this post and maybe it will come to me later.

Adventures in Online Dating

Can they really be called adventures if one hasn't been on a date with any of the creeps yet?

OK, I joined Match.com a while ago and so far, not so good. I have been "winked" at by men older than my dad and I have gotten emails from "men" who still read comic books regularly.

One of those men, whose profile says he is 39 but his pictures say he has had nine too many 39th birthdays, emailed me and asked me to "hang out." Well, that night I had to work late, as in 1 am, so I emailed back without realizing he was a definite no and told him I was working overnight and so maybe another time. He emailed me again that same night and said

 "Call me as soon as you get home and I will come over and we can hang out and be night owls."and his phone number.

Needless to say, I never replied. A couple of weeks later, he sent me another email. This one said

"Can we talk? You seem cute and sweet and in need of a good guy. Call me..."and his phone number.

Seriously, dude? Yeah, then right after that his "caption" on his profile read: Love BIG bouncy hooters. Clearly I shouldn't have passed this one up.

Then I got winked at and emailed by an overgrown teenager who claims to be an adult. He still reads comic books regularly while he drinks his kool-aid. No joke.

Then I got IMed by a guy who only talks about the woes of his high school years. He is older than me so I am thinking it is DEFINITELY time for him to let it go.

Then today I got emailed by someone who has already called me "sexy lady" twice, told me he bets I am probably a good kisser and can't wait to find out, and wants me to come to his house (an hour and a half away) so he can make me dinner.

Are any of these people normal? Is that too much to ask?
