It's
undeniable how brilliant you are
In an
unreliable world you shine like a star
It's
unforgettable now that we've come this far
It's
unmistakable that you're undeniable

Having a
good friend who owns a wine bar is pretty cool. Having a good friend who owns a
wine bar where match.com holds events is AWESOME! It means on those nights, I
can sit at the bar, listen to some live music, talk to the staff, and people-watch
until my heart is content. This past Wednesday, I did just that. Unlike the
last event which was “all ages”, this one was aimed at the 35 – 50 crowd. I saw
4 people who used to work for my employer there. I spoke to one of them. He
told me background stories about some of the women who were there, as he had
gone on dates with several of them.
I saw a guy
from a dating site I am on that I was supposed to have drinks with a few weeks
ago; but didn’t. That was “Awkward” (with a capital A”). He recognized me,
though we have never met, because I display recent pictures of me on my profile
– unlike many people. He was nice. I was appropriately apologetic about not
following up on the previously cancelled plans. He asked if I was on match.com.
I said, “Oh. I’m not with the event.” That line was repeated several times
throughout the night. In fact, one guy heard it 3 times. We’ll call him Dr.
Chatty, as he was a doctor, I think. I practiced the behaviors of “active
listening”; but didn’t actually listen. I stopped focusing once he started
telling me about his afternoon trip to Menards. I mean, I love Menards; but I
don’t need a play-by-play account of your visit. He was really nice –
unfortunately, I wasn’t with the event. (*lol*)
This week, I
also attended the Project Pink’d Calendar Event. MiMadre went with me. We had a
wonderful time in honor of a wonderful organization!!! Overall, it’s been a
wonderful birthday month!

NOTE: I am sorry you got shafted. I wish there were something I could do to
right the wrong. Your brilliance should not go unappreciated.
