Seriously I have succeeded in an unplanned new path! No, I’m not trying to trap a guy by getting pregnant. That’s not my thing. Mainly because my tummy is flat and I’d hate to stretch it out again.

I officially stand at a 100% success rate for successfully setting up people. I’m a matchmaker. I’m a human love connector. That shit deserves an award. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT PEOPLE! That’s epic.

Let me share a specific story to illustrate my success.

My dear friend (and waxer) was single 3 years ago. So was a guy I worked with. Both had been in other relationships prior. And I’d had known both for many years before that.

One day I had a brilliant idea. I’d set them up.

So we did it. Sight unseen. They both agreed to meet for a cocktail. I agreed to join them with another decoy…the boy’s best friend.

That was July 3rd, 2007.

Soon it will be July 3rd, 2010. And guess who will be getting married that day? They will. Adorable, right?

Here’s my secret. I only set up people who will hit it off for the long haul. And by people, I mean two very specific people. SO WHAT that this is the only couple I’ve ever set up! It worked. And I’m taking all the credit.

Maybe I’ll get a free wax job out of this. Do they call those things wax jobs? Boy does that sound like something worse.

It all started with them…

Yes, two kids. One is Elle. The other is her best friend. They are working on painting corks. They are crafty kids.

But they didn’t paint all the corks. And I kept providing the supplies. And by providing supplies, I mean drinking bubbly and saving the corks.

So it turned into this…

That’s me and my darling friend Courtney. Only difference between this picture and the kids above…we’re drinking bubbly while we’re painting.

Showing off our favorite cork character.

But we didn’t stop there. Nope. We created a village of cork characters.

Now I’m just worried that Elle will be furious that I finished this project. I’ll be sure to remind her that bubbly is my favorite beverage and I’ll provide her with more supplies.

The perfect gift. Well a picture of it anyway. No words are needed, except…

this is perfect for me.

It was a gift from a friend.

As many of you know, I don’t cook. Therefore I view my kitchen as a place to store wine. And a place to make coffee.

This is not to say I didn’t get other perfect gifts. Because I did. I can’t help but mention the adorable hot pink fingerless gloves/mittens. And donations made on my behalf, picture frame, artsy necklace, etc… Part of what makes these things special are the people who gave them to me. I’m blessed. xo
