Uhh, Don't Know What to Make of This

So one of my colleagues comes into my office and tells me that she and one of the older men in the department were talking, and that he said that back in his homeland, I am their idea of the perfect body.

All four of the following thoughts instantly crossed my mind:

1. Dude, that is really creepy. Do you think I should make note of the date and time in case he says something else? Is this going to escalate, and one day cadaver dogs are going to find my body in a shallow grave in the forest?
2. Wow, kind of flattering.
3. Duuuuuuude, this is creepy.
4. There are places where men like chunky women? Sign me up!

So yeah, not sure what to make of this.

Wedding Gift Ideas

I have three weddings to attend this summer, which means I will need to purchase three wedding gifts. I assume each of the lovely ladies has her own registry, which will make picking out something a snap, though it seems a tad cold and impersonal to be honest. This in turn has led me to dwell on what I would like to receive, should I ever be so fortunate as to find the love of my life and somehow convince him to want to marry me.

Here ya go:

• Plants for a garden (flower or vegetable)
• Offers to help with home repairs or yard work
• A donation to one of my favorite charities
• Collections of well-loved recipes
• Photographs of friends and family
• Your favorite book of all time (as long as it is not Kerouac's On The Road)
• Your favorite movie of all time
• Cooking lessons
• Offers to pet sit while we are on vacation
• Memberships to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
• Memberships to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
• Memberships to the Science Museum of Virginia
• Memberships to the Valentine Richmond History Center
