In 48 hours I will be committed. No, not to a mental ward (although that wouldn't be that much of a stretch), but to this project, which I have come to think of as a conceptual art piece rather than a desperate attempt to get hitched. And speaking of hitched, I am slightly modifying my rather onerous goal of getting married in 2010 to getting engaged in 2010. Still a lofty achievement, but seriously--can I really get engaged and plan a wedding in 12 months? I think not.
Assuming I'm not hideously hungover on Friday, I've agreed to go to a yoga class with two friends. This could provide ample opportunity to meet a nice sweaty yoga dude. Unfortunately, the classes are usually mat-to-mat chicks, but one never knows. Until the 1st, I bid you adieu and happy new year!

Here comes the would-be bride
I have 365 days to get married or at the very least, engaged. It sounds like a lot of time, but as we know all too well, a year can go by in a flash.
The past year, 2009, was awful. The stock market tanked, I got fired, and then the worst thing of all happened: mom died. She never got to see me walk down the aisle or find my soulmate. She never got to have a son-in-law. She never got to experience me as truly happy and in love. It's a regret that I will always have, but there is nothing I can do about it.
And while I can't change the past, I can fiddle with the future. I can stack the deck by doing everything in my power to meet "The One." Whether that means talking to strangers, online dating, accepting blind dates and fix ups, posting an ad on craigslist, hell...even wearing a Tshirt proclaiming my availability, I am ready, willing, and able.
