Hi Friends:

Goals:

(i) Contain work to weekdays only - even if I procrastinate and get nothing done;

(ii) Continue to make sure my weekends are booked with GAL events and do not cancel these events - even if I a behind at work b/c I procrastinated and got nothing done;

(iii) The Block is a chicken/egg thing...

When one interviews for a job - you put your best foot forward - and let your employers figure out you aren't perfect after the fact!

This one is tough. I do not want to use men as guinea pigs to work through my issues. But really as a part of dating to say - "Yes, I would love to go out with you - but really I am warning you - I am exceptionally R-challenged and really you need to sign here acknowledging that you are proceeding at your own risk and that you understand the extent of the risks involved." - not really sure that is the right thing to say...

I guess I will wait till someone intrigues me and say "Can I get back to you on that in a week?" And then come here and post for guidance and then go back with an answer!

I will continue to put myself out there. Inspite of all my angst - I am still continuing to do that...

Tomorrow the black tie fundraiser is a big step for me - I haven't really dressed up in years. GF is going full length formal and her H is going in a tux. I am also going full length blue formal flowing closely fitting with spagetti straps. Silver high heels. Dangly silver earrings - no necklace. I will ask GF to help me with the make up...she has that sense of style thing. I had my annual haircut three weeks ago - it is short as in above the shoulder - and it hasn't grown out yet - so that should be fine....

Gulp - it is TOMORROW!!! I may have to steal some anti-anxiety drugs... I have to be ready by 5:30. And it from 6 till midnight...

It is possible I will be the only single person and I will be relieved. But it is the mindset. I will make the full effort to look as nice as possible. And my neighbor and her H will be there - if I meet some gorgeous smart interesting single guy and need to run away and hide.

take care,
AG
