A month has passed since my last post- not much has changed other than the fact that I have now been living in Plano for a full month. Atkins diet is much easier when you live by yourself, I feel good, but I wish that I could lose this weight much faster. I have a blind date this Friday, and please don't be trite and ask me if she is indeed really blind, that would be too good to be true.

I signed up on eHarmony this week. After talking with my friend Michael and him telling me that two of his friends recently got married to people that they met on eHarmony, I decided to give it a shot. After about 1000 questions and 45 minutes of my time, I finally completed the rigorous test. Breathless, I clicked the button "Find My Match", sixty seconds later I was matchless. "Do not be discouraged" it proclaimed- I wasn't. I wasn't even really surprised, I mean really, how many men do you find are my dimensions and can dance like Michael Jackson, cook like Martha Stewart, and play Ultimate Frisbee better than Beckham plays soccer? It doesn't happen often.

Work has been good. It is so close now that I really enjoy working here at TI and being removed from Family and Friends, I get more stuff done- like watching all of my favorite shows.

I still have the desire to write, to go back to school and get my masters, and I want to paint, and build a ceramic table, but I don't have the money to do all of those things yet. I have learned to have patience with myself and with my spending- I call it delayed gratification, that way it sounds way cooler than just being poor.
