PC Revisited

Once upon a time (you may recall... April 3, 2006), I presented my readers with a blog titled, "My Own Prince Charming's Top Ten Turn-ons List." Be sure to put it on your trashy-summer-reads list if you missed it...

Well, it seems like it just might be time to revisit that theme and give you My PC's updated list of things he will have to love about me:

10. The fact that I AM capable of learning to differentiate the "bow" from the "stern," even if I will never grasp the "port" vs. "starboard" distinction.

9. My ability to stay calm and act rationally in the face of great challenges like foreign convection ovens and the utter lack of cooking spray... We will overcome and we will never go without cookies again!

8. Conversations that average one complete thought spread out over three hour stretches of whimpering and "well... you know"ing.

7. The natural look! As in "Oh baby, you look so good when you forget your hairdryer and cosmetic bag at home..."

6. My Lulu.

5. Ahhhhhh, the smell of bleach in the morning. (Hey, I am trying to cut back and have started to use the more environmentally friendly option, but it's a hard habit to break!)

4. Late night second winds.

3. Curious family members who have everyone's best interests at heart. (Kisses to all!)

2. Stress.

1. Intensely beautiful blue eyes that he can stare into... whenever he is in the neighborhood.

Okay, now that we are all clear... unless any readers feel slighted and wish to add to the list of my personal flaws with which PC will have to cope... I must say good evening and good luck!

P.S. I HIGHLY recommend the oxygen bleach. You can use it on colors, and it makes everything sparkle... like new love!

I recently read this article about a library in England where they loan out poeple... you can interview self-proclaimed experts on just about any/every-thing.

Well, I would like to declair myself an expert on exactly that, Justabouteverything. Please feel free to email me your questions about life, love and the great beyond. Remember, there are no dumb questions...

Hill Climbers

Only in Texas is 100% of Students scoring at or above "average" a statistical possibility!

I recently attended a conference for school administrators that took place in Washington DC. We visited The Hill, and I have to say that I was IMPRESSED with Shelley Berkley (US House of Reps from Nevada). She received an award from the sponsoring organization and said the following in her address to the group:

"I am not going to talk to you about No Child Left Behind... except to say that it is probably the worst vote I have ever cast during my congressional career (5 terms), that the implementation of it has been a travesty and that it has probably done more harm than good for public education."

Finally a truth-speaker!

eFlirt

Quick survey, does virtual dating really suck or am I just unbearably bad at it? I must admit that I am not so experienced in the art of on-line flirting, but it seems to really play down some of my best moves. For example, I can't stop chatting to say, "I am coyly gazing down and coquettishly fluttering my lashes." I mean that is ridiculous. Am I missing the lingo? Can I just say, "IACGD&CFML"?

Perhaps I am just a snob, but I think some of the subtle nuances of VegasBabe are lost if I go with, "U R Cute."

P.S. Wrote the above 2 months ago, but never posted... feeling like I need to blog again and am too brain dead to come up with something new... next survey... ever recycle old garbage and turn it in as "new ideas"?

P.P.S. Still can't flirt online, and can't flirt over the phone either... a recent ear infection caused me to interpret "I'd like to go out again sometime" as "I like, you know, bought gain sump grime." In the end, asking the guy why he called while intoxicated did not encourage him to repeat his previous statement and seek my better understanding.
