corduroy licorice had bigger fish to fry, but he preferred to cook up the ones that fit easily into his skillet. the towering trout and supersized salmon in his freezer would just have to wait.

flummoxed is a wonderful word, i just had to say.

online dating boy update:

no real progress. one step forward, one step back, as paula abdul would say.

in the minus column, i broke my ex-communication vow and sent him a chatty, non-committal e-mail this week. i just felt really weird about being mum for so long. he wrote back a chatty note, as well, signing off with "xo," which he hasn't done for the longest. i guess playing hard to get does have some reward.

in the plus column, i fought my urge to invite him to my company holiday party just so i'd have a date. it would have been so much fun to have a testosterone-wielding partner to walk me around the joint in my dressy duds. plus, he plays well with others and is nice to look at. but i knew it would be a bad idea to ask. i knew it would be the wrong signal to send when things are about to end. i knew it would complicate the "gently fading away" motif we seem to have working for us. so i stand strong and single and will flit about the party without a manly escort to manhandle me apr�s soire�.

hear me roar, and what not.
