Online Dater Extraordinaire
“It was my understanding that there would be no math during the debates...”

I want to take a few moments to talk about numbers. Like most people, numbers play a large part in my life.
50 - Hours I work a week
2+ - Diet Cokes I consume a day
162 Pounds - My weight (yes I published my weight- even with spanks on I think the gig is up)
23 - Minutes it takes me to watch The Hills on DVR
29 - Years old
438 - Days left until Bush leaves office
3.5 - Large glasses of wine in a standard bottle of Chardonnay
5’2.5” - My height
15-20 - Minutes average wait at the Olive Garden
0 - My tolerance level for other people ;-)
9 - Times I have been a bridesmaid
28 - Teeth in my mouth
3 - People you need to ride in the HOV lane
29,868.00 - My portion of the National Debt
I spend all week working with numbers; I am a financial director after all …but here are some of the numbers I have been faced with this week:
10 - Hours I spend at work on a given day
600 - Minutes I spend on the computer at work on a given day
0 - Hours I spend on the computer at home
3 - Minutes it takes me to open and read an e-mail
5 - Minutes it takes me to craft a witty response to an e-mail
60 - Seconds to edit said witty response
10 - AVERAGE Minutes it takes me to respond to an e-mail from a complete stranger
1 - Me, Myself, and I
58 - People in my Eharmony queue that I am communicating with
92 - People in my queue total
8 - Average of new people added to my queue each day
5 - Average of new people I dump from my queue each day
You do the math. So friends- as I stand before you preparing to dedicate more time to the cause of internet dating, I am slightly daunted by the numbers. The biggest thing I have learned from this whole experience is that internet dating takes time--lots and lots of time. So I beg a slight indulgence from my loyal readers on A&A. It is going to take me some time to get a few communications off the ground and running, to say nothing of the time it takes to actually go on the date. But don’t worry--I am dedicated to the cause and I will not let you down. SO check back in about two weeks for the next “out on a date” post… Until then…
