Confessions Friday

I’ve been forgetting to do this again, but today I remembered, so here goes!

* Owen and I met on Match.com. My mom thought I was going to die a spinster because I wasn’t in a relationship at 24, so she created an account and profile for me. So one day I started getting all these emails in the mail and I was like, WTF? She fessed up and I thought, why not meet some people? One day I lined up 3 dates – lunch, coffee, and dinner. Owen was dinner. After we came home from our first date, I told my mom this was the man I was going to marry. It was love at first sight 🙂

* I don’t own: a blow dryer, iron, makeup, or high-heel shoes.

* When I was a child, I wanted to be a star tennis player, a writer, a mommy, and a dog rescuer.

* I’m a college drop-out. I started as a Literature major, changed to Politics, switched to Media Studies, took a Semester off to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, started working (the job I talked about in my previous confessions post doing customer service for a viagra pharmacy), started a business, the business took off, went back to school to try to graduate while running a business, felt like I was wasting time and money at school, dropped out of school, met Owen, got pregnant, and the rest is history 🙂

* I once swam naked in the ocean at a public beach.

Your turn!

  1. OMG! I also met my hubby on Match.com! I am planning a post on it for our anniversary:) Congratulations on a Match.com success!

  2. I met my husband on Match.com, too. But, I went on a lot more dates than 3 before I found him!

  3. I tried match.com and I didn’t find anyone. I wasn’t really open either on my web page because I’m very cautious about letting people know that I have a daughter who can’t speak. There are a lot of creepy men out there. I’m also limited on time and when I can actually go out on dates. And then theres my daughters father who keeps promising me that he will get his life together and once I let him come back home he messes up again and I’m not talking about little things, I’m talking about cheating on me and drinking all the time. Hearing that u met ur husband on match.com makes me want to try it again. I’m 28 and I’ve dealt with the same stuff from my daughters father for 13 years, I’m ready to get married and have another baby and I’m figuring out that he will never change.

  4. Carla & Kristina – that’s awesome! I’m so glad I’m not the onmly one!

    Andrea – you have 3 successes right here out of our tiny corner of the world, so there must be many many more! I hope you give it another try. You deserve to be with someone who loves and cherishes you!
