Man, that blows. I mean...yah, that just blows. On the plus side I am pretty sure that Dr. Jeffe is right, I think it is required by law or something.

Ah. Once again, I am left astonished by your wisdom! Perhaps there's still some hope left!! Except... doesn't that mean I'll be stuck with a jerk in knight's clothing? *sigh*

If it's still bothering you, I recommend picking up one of Pam Houston's books; "Waltzing the Cat" or "Cowboys are My Weakness" in particular.  Read a few of her stories and by the end you'll just be glad you never dated any men who were as bad as the ones she kept ending up with.
(And yes, even though they're fiction, most of her stories are 90% autobiographical, which is why I feel they're so powerful.)

Thanks for the tip.

I'm feeling a little less lovelorn right now. Could be I'm just being more mature. Or... it could have something to do with the hot guy from Israel who sold me Dead Sea lotion and a 3-sided nail file at the Provo Towne Centre today. His name is Amos. And he is mine!! ;)

Did he offer you manuscripts about a wandering knight?

Sadly, no. But I imagine it probably would've been scrolls more like than manuscripts since he hails from Israel. ;)
Still, what with his darling accent and handsome countenance, I didn't need much more motivation to try out his nail care stuff...

That's sad. If it's any consolation, I won't be back to Seattle till at least the end of the week, and have limited internet access here, so I won't need mine this week.

Tomorrow we are driving 6 hours with three little children (ages 6, 3, 18 mo). It's at times like this I wish we had sprung for a portable DVD player. *sigh*

I'm seriously bummed that the TWG New Years Eve parties can no longer be held at the Cottontree, expecially since I have to work that night.
