Tonight I was looking for some new blogs to read. I decided to google "dating blogs." Here's what I found within seconds.
1. Horse Dating Scene Blog. Apparently this is a blog where horse lovers can meet and eventually date. Hmm....if I were a horse lover, I'm sure the first place I would look to find another horse lover would be on a blog.
2. Jewish Dating Blog
3. Interracial Dating Blog
4. Millionaire Dating Blog. This one actually intrigued me. The author was looking for a place where gorgeous, rich people could meet. Seriously, people are so delusional. Why would a gorgeous millionaire need to look for a blog to find someone to date?
5. Christian Dating Blog. Is this a cheap alternative to E-harmony?

Life's Lessons
What are some pearls of wisdom you've gathered through the years that you wish everyone had also picked up along the road of life? Here are mine.
1. At a young age I learned that in order to be a good conversationalist, one should listen as much as they talk. They should also ask the fellow conversationalist questions regarding their interests, rather than dominating the chit-chat with their own stories and thoughts.
2. I was a very shy, young girl. My dad told me at a young age that conversation is like playing catch. If someone throws a question at you, in order for the game to continue, you need to answer the question and throw a different question back at the person your playing with. In other words, don't just answer people's questions with "yes" and "no" and then fail to ask them a question in return.
3. Family and friends really do know what they are talking about when it comes to your boyfriend.
4. Balancing your checkbook really is important. Good thing I'm getting married to someone who does that. I avoid writing checks like the plague, because I hate balancing my checkbook.
5. Listen to your mom when she tells you that someday you will wish you had learned to be organized at a young age.
6. Bad dates lead to good stories. Tell yourself this when you are living through a horrible date. People enjoy hearing about funny dating woes.
7. It's not okay to honk at girls walking down the street. I would think that most guy past the age of 16 would know this, but even grown men have not picked up this bit of wisdom along their road of life.
8. It's not okay to ask people who invited you to their house and provided a meal for you if there is something else to eat. I've never done this, but I've had guests digging through my cupboards.
9. If you want something that is rather spendy, check e-bay before you buy it. You'll probably find a better deal.
10. Listen to the way people laugh. This brings great joy to me. People's laughs can make you laugh, even if nothing funny was said.

Nail Biting Nervous
What makes you nail biting nervous? These are the circumstances that have made me very anxious in the past.
1. I was very nervous and could not sleep when I found out the restaraunt I was supposed to have my wedding reception at closed three weeks before the big day.
2. I'm sure that all of my friends can testify that if nail biting were a habit of mine...I wouldn't have any left the night before a test.
3. Driving in rain makes me very nervous. I would almost rather drive in snow.
4. Giving speeches makes me want to crawl in a hole.
5. Silence in groups of people makes me nervous...unless it's family.
6. Silence on the phone when you are talking to someone you have only been dating for a short period of time causes uneasy feelings to arise inside my stomach...Luckily, I'll never have to deal with this again.
7. Meeting future in-laws was a little nerve wrecking at first!! Good thing they turned out to be nice people.
8. Feeling sick to my stomach in the middle of class...that makes me extremely nervous.
9. Sleeping through my alarm clock makes me as nervous as a mad woman (only when I'm running late of course)

There's Just Something about....Joel!
I decided that it's time. I've steered away from writing a blog about my future husband because I didn't want to sound like a love sick fiancee' People are asking me lots of questions about him though, and therefore the time has come.
There's Just Something about Joel because:
1. He makes duck lips when he's studying or thinking really hard. He claims that this is an inherited trait. I don't know...I never see his parents making duck lips?
2. He was forced to do the Mexican hat dance with my mother and he still asked me to marry him. That definitely screams quality.
3. He shares my love of travel and even took me to New York City to visit some friends for Christmas.
4. He is really intelligent. He has proof read my papers and helped me with my Logic homework in an airport.
5. Even though it took him a while, he came up with the best first dance song for our wedding. It made me cry the first time I listened to it.
6. He stores Diet Coke with Lime in his fridge for me.
7. He's perceptive.
8. He's going to be a great principal at the high school he works at.
9. He has a huge capacity for forgiveness.
10. He's going to be a great husband!
Good Ones, but Sad Ones.

Airplane Woes
Are your airplane woes worse than mine?
1. The day after I was dumped by my boyfriend, I was stuck on an airplane next to a crazy lady for about 4 hours. I then missed my connecting flight, lost my luggage and had to stay in a hotel. I then dropped my necklace in the toilet and used soap that burned the skin on my face. I also fell off of a bus which left a nasty bruise for weeks to come.
2. I was stuck on the Atlanta runway for 6 hours with no food.
3. I've been stuck on runways because the airplane ran out of water.
4. My luggage was lost on my trip to Europe..luckily it was retrieved later.
5. I went through a streak where my luggage and I were always searched. Crying college students must seem suspicious?

So That's What That Means?!
This is a blog about words and phrases that I have messed up as a child and as an adult. We've all done it...I just happen to be advertising my naivete (or deafness in some cases) on my blog.
1. The other day I was talking to my fiancee' and I said "A.K.A.-AS known as." He laughed at me...apparently, I've lived 26 years without knowing that A.K.A. really stands for "also known as."
2. I used to love the song Wonderwall by Oasis. Especially, when the band sang "Anna Ferah, You're my wonderwall." I think I was about 22 before I figured out that they were really saying "and after all, you're my wonderwall."
3. When I was a child, my dad was going on a business trip to CA. I wanted to go with him and begged him to take me along. He replied "There's going to be lots of vendors for adults there. I don't know if they allow children at those conventions." I said, "Well, dad, you can go on the floors with the adult vending machines and I'll stay in the hotel." He thought that was pretty funny.
4. My friend's husband happened to be explaining car parts to his wife and I one day. I was really confused and asked "What does the torkenburger do?" They both said "The what?" I replied, "You know...the torkenburger...I don't get it." They immediately started laughing at me and explained that it was called a torque converter.
