How awesome would that be?!
That's it. I'm getting a personal secretary. Um... excuse me. A personal administrative assistant.

Over and out.

On This American Life last week...
...there was a story on a couple who marketed themselves to each other which we unfortunately only heard the advertisement for. I am currently trying to "market" the idea to ben that this would be a fun exercise in creative writing. If I am successful, I will post here.
Let's see...general thoughts/beginning notes...the four p's...hmmm...place. Well, hello, I was definitely in the right place for him to meet me and get to know me....but we should address distribution, too. We both love to travel. Right. Check. Now, make it sound pretty.
Product. Good lord....how do I describe myself as a product? This is a hard one since I've always had that semi-feminist idea that I'm not an object. Must do more thinking about this. Though, I can say that I'm aesthetically appealling and fully operational. :-)
Price. Ha! I guess he did sort of buy me with all those expensive dinners...not to mention all the trips he has paid for....man, I feel sort of slutty now. Hehe.
Promotion. Hm. The toughest of them all, since I did not join any online dating services or what not...though Jess did promote me to ben. Yes, must reference friends' attempts to set me up in this section, in addition to random nights out at bars, the joining of clubs & events, etc. All self promoting techniques.
Ok just jotting down thoughts on this is a fun thing, so I think I'm gonna have to make a day of it....stay tuned...which really means, "stay tuned for several years, bec the liklihood of me following through is slim to none."

Ben S, keeper of Stingrays, pirahnas, etc, invited us to Red Carpet Night at the aquarium
Ben C. was disappointed to discover we didn't actually get to wear red carpet attire. :-)
Late Christmas at Heather's

Catastrophe
Now that I am over the depression a bit, I am finally finding the time to get on here and update everyone. We are not (yet again) moving to Knoxville after all. Here's what happened:
The company I work for (I try to keep it fairly nameless) had a catastrophe. National headline making catastrophe. I'm sure you've all heard about it. Anyway, so due to the catastrophe, there was a reorg of the group I was going to work for, and my spot was moved from Knoxville to Nashville. I was still offered the position, but obviously had to withdraw my acceptance. Anyway, back to the drawing board.
I want to say a warm thanks to all the peeps who sent me wonderful b'day wishes this week! During such a horrific time (yes, I was absolutely crushed), it was amazing to see how many people there are out there that love me. I love you all, too!
Also, thanks to those who made it out with me not only on Wednesday, but also on "Black Monday". :-)
Um...what else? DId I mention the power yoga classes at North Shore on here yet? For Chattanoogans, I highly recommend it. I took the day off and went to this morning's class...which totally kicked my butt.
Mika is going to be in trouble when his daddy wakes up and finds him purring on dad's favorite *black* windbreaker. I'm being a naughty mommy and allowing the purring bec it is too sweet. His little eyes seem so happily relaxed.
Oh! Also! My friends Eric and Mandy are on a photog's website - please vote for their pic and they receive a free huge print. Here's the link: www.dianasimpson.blogspot.com --> they are pic No 9. If anyone really wants to help them out, I think you can vote daily. Go Mandy, Eric & little Anna Claire!
Ok...I guess since I have taken the day off, I probably should not waste it away on my laptop. Have a terrific weekend, everyone! xoxo. :-)
