On Becoming Senator Craig

So....the most hilarious thing you'll likely read today:
I have been lurking undercover online on a gay men's site under an anonymous name (hence the "undercover" part). Why? Because my best friend went "missing" somewhere between PA/DE/NJ and Las Vegas, and I wanted to keep tabs on him.
My alias was Dr. Stevens - a 48 year old, greying, fit doctor (with a photo of a tan, shirtless man taken from the back, jogging through the desert - thank you Yahoo! images); and I tried to lure my BFF (and former boyfriend, who eventually became the maid of honor at my wedding and "aunt" to my children) with an invitation to drinks, etc.
Oh, who's kidding who here? "Drinks, etc." on a gay men's hook up site = sex.
Yeah, for some reason, I was declined. (Still can't figure that one out - this jogger is a hottie from the back - and doctor - no brainer, right?)
Anyway, and I'll get to the funny part - my BFF is now safely back on the east coast, and I finally "came clean" and "outed" myself to him today. I told him my alias and sent him the link. Needless to say, we had some laughs!
But the funny part, which is also a bit Freudian - think about it, Grey's Anatomy fans:
Dr. Stevens.
Dr. Isabel Stevens.
"Izzie" Stevens
No, wait: "Is he?" Stevens!
(I crack myself up.)
But the funniest part - the funniest part:
I just told my husband tonight about how this all went down.
And he asked me, "Are you going to start tapping your foot in the men's bathroom now and go all Senator Craig on unsuspecting men?"
You know....it could happen.
(Maybe I'll need to get some hospital business cards printed up, too, for when I wave my hand under the stall.)

Can't Sleep

Not sure why I can't sleep. Maybe it's because I woke up at midnight from this crazy dream of this punk rock reunion where one moment I was curled up w/ a good friend, and the next moment I was screaming, "Get out of my house!" to two uninvited guests. Or maybe from this sore throat. Or maybe 'cause it's hot.

Gosh, the summer came and went! No time for blogging.

All is well - the summer ran the gamut from vacationing in Maine, heading to Shelter Island for a wedding, and trips to Rehoboth to see my folks. Summer camps, two swim clubs, park time, and even two weeks of me time.

Now that school is back in session (bittersweet time), maybe I'll get a chance to write. Maybe.

Oh gosh - new news - I resigned from my grant management job. Full time work was just not for me w/ the new house and kids. So, I've been off and LOVING it since the end of June!!! I'm sure things will pick up in a few weeks or so w/ the literacy stuff, but until then...I'm going to enjoy this time to myself! :) Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, 6:30 a.m. beckons. Hope I can get back to sleep.
