a post that's not about internet dating

I really want to write a long post about internet dating. But, I'm trying to determine if that falls into the TMI and don't post too much on the internet rule I only follow some of the time.

I do realize that having a blog at all, makes that seem just a tad bit hypocritcal.

But, internet dating, I'm conflicted about it in general and annoyed/exasperated that I attempt it at all. I sort of a hard time talking about the idea of it at all or about(gasp) my string of unsuccessful attempts.

The whole thing is rather exhausting, or maybe it's just that having my mom and step dad in my space zaps the creative energy out of me. But am teetering on the edge of annoyed, making a concerted effort to be nice. Maybe being nice and being creative cannot co-exist in my puny brain....how's that for a cop out explanation.

numbers game

Myself
2 parents
4 dogs

800 square feet on the ground floor where we all co-exist
300 square feet in my bedroom upstairs (my bit'o privacy)
400 square feet in the unfinished basement(where my parents have set up a room)

11 days since they got here
2 number of trips it took them to find a house (yellow, cute and strangely, made of cinder block)
1 days for negotiation of a contract on said house
36 days until the closing date of May 31st

2 hours I've had alone in my house since they got here
0 number of trips I've had to take to the grocery store since they got here
2 number of times I've had to cook dinner since they got here
5 number of hairballs I can see from where I'm sitting

and yet, strangely, it has been easier than I would have guessed. I hope it lasts. Wish me luck!
