Today’s the 1st day of–
FIND THE FUNNY MONDAYS —
It’s a weekly post about finding the funny in something that might not otherwise be… funny.
About a month ago I started dating a guy (“G”). Not exactly my type, but potentially-interesting. When I mentioned “G” to my dad, he was so happy that —
- “G” has a real job (he’s not a writer/actor/musician.)
- “G” actually pays for things when he takes me out.
- “G” is nice.
My Dad strongly advised me to “act” normal around “G”– particularly at mealtime. My Dad goes insane when I spend ten minutes explaining to the waiter what ingredients to eliminate from my order (“Sally” from WHMS is a piece of cake compared to me.)
So I thought, okay I work out a lot. Maybe it won’t matter. So when “G” took me to Giorgio’s I actually had pasta instead of Dover sole, without the lemon butter sauce, no potatoes, and spinach steamed. When we went to Urth, I ordered that Napoleon I’ve been eyeing for like the last five years. When we went to Boa, I ordered steak for the first time in a long time, instead of my normal shrimp cocktail and a side of carrots.
But then I had an Audition—
I really thought I nailed the part of a hot blond who does a cooking show in her bikini… The CD couldn’t stop laughing. She said I did the scene in a completely fresh way.
Then was on the way out she asked–
But when are you due?
OMG OMG OMG!
I guess I’m DUE to start a diet tomorrow!
Calorie Counting UGH!
I called “G” immediately, to explain that we’re not a match. (I kind ‘a knew it all along.) The relationship’s much too fattening!
Then I called Sunfare.

I’d like to begin my personal blog one day. This was a really nice weblog that you produced here. Keep up the good work.
Howdy! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts! Carry on the fantastic work!
Admiring the time and effort you put into your site and detailed information you provide. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed material. Excellent read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
This really is such a wonderful resource that you’re offering and also you give it away free of charge. I adore seeing internet sites that understand the worth of offering a top quality useful resource free of charge. It?s the outdated what goes around comes around routine.
Just discovered this site thru Bing, what a way to brighten up my week!
