Very sad. The death of a journalist in the middle of an assignment is something that always sends little shockwaves through the news community, whether its in print (like I am) or broadcast. Always makes you think about the part of the job you don't necessarily want to. Anything could happen at anytime though and that's the biggest point. David Bloom's pulminary embolism could have very well happened in his living room on a random Tuesday morning.

It's just that kind of thing that has me convinced to put myself out there on one of the internet dating sites. I know, I know. I always said it would be a cold day in hell before I became that desperate. Well, strap on your ice skates kids because it looks like things have gotten a little chillier down below. Friday night Kristen and I went out for dinner and she told me about her experiences using one of the internet dating sites (I'm not going to tell you which one because she doesn't want a lot of people to know she's doing it) and it sounds like she's gotten some really good responses from it! So far I know she's been on three dates already, twice with one of the guys. Like she said, what do I have to lose? No really. I mean, not every person I go out with is going to be "the one" or Mr. perfect but it could put me in touch with some fun people to hang out with. We also talked about the whole Bob situation and like she always does, Kristen put things into perspective for me. If something was going to happen, don't you think it would have happened by now? Exactly.

Food wise I did not do well this weekend. Saturday was the worst, we had a coffee house at my church with lots of really good but bad baked goodies. Sigh. I need to do something about this sweet tooth. That's the thing that's doing me in. I also never made it to the gym. After I hit my snooze button about 3 or 4 times and dragged myself out of bed around 9ish, I desperately needed to get some laundry done before I went to Bowl For Kids Sake at 10:45. The bowling went well. While I won't be joining the PBA anytime soon (I bowled around a 90), we had a good time and it was for a good cause. From there I busted a move on home to finish my laundry, bake my apple pie and cookies for the coffee house and do some cleaning before 4. Sigh. I really do need to learn how to say no. I didn't get home until 12:30 (that's 12:30 pre-daylight savings time) because I went over to Bob's to see his Ireland pictures....I want to go back. Now. I have never traveled anywhere like that where I have been so comfortable. It felt like home while we were there. Next year. Maybe next year.

I'm working on adding a few new things to the site. Maybe when Kristen scans in my pictures for me I'll add one so you all know who you're dealing with here. Look for changes in the coming weeks and please be patient with me, I'm still not the best at this thing.
