Three's Company, so what's a CROWD?

Anyone uncomfortable yet?

   Here's a funny story for you: one of my friends is retiring from Hallmark this week, and just scheduled a happy hour for this Tuesday. AT THE SAME day/time/location as the first-ever live & in-person happy hour scheduled by Match.com, to which I'd already RSVP'd. I feel like I'll be in a sitcom, sneaking upstairs & downstairs, trying to attend both groups without them knowing about each other. Didn't they do this on Three's Company???

   I might chicken out... that bar is going to be absolutely CRAWLING with Hallmarkers, most of whom have no idea I do online dating. But I keep telling myself that it will be worth it for the funny story I'll have afterwards.

   In similarly "isn't life wacky?!" news, my LinkedIn account was hijacked yesterday, and apparently sent invitations to connect to everyone I've ever emailed through Gmail. I realized this when I started receiving dozens & dozens of emails notifying me that they had accepted. And wouldn't you know it, many of them were from guys I've dated in the last several years, and I haven't spoken to any of them since. Say "awkward" with 6 syllables, because that's how awkward it is!
   On the bright side, though, one of the guys actually sent me a very sweet email to say hello, and it happened to be the guy who got me into snowboarding, so I was finally able to properly thank him.
   One thing I will say about being "on the market", I may not have met Mr. Right, but I have met a lot of really interesting guys. I've gotten to try all the best restaurants in Kansas City, making me a bona fide foodie. If you need recommendations, I'm the one to ask. And even cooler, I've been snowboarding in Steamboat Springs, and went kayaking with dolphins in Charleston. And I've tried the very best restaurants in those cities, too.
   Hopefully I will meet the right guy sooner rather than later, but I'm not sitting around waiting for him to come to me. Life is too good to waste.
