So this wedding thing from last weekend has me thinking about marriage. My feelings about this institution depend on the day and whether Rob has helped around the house, tried to do home improvements, or yelled at the kids on my behalf. The good news is that if I were to decide I'd get married again, I'd marry the same guy. Love ya, honey!
Thinking about being single, however, (just hypothetically, of course) I believe I'd be totally into those online dating sites like match.com and eharmony. I know folks who've found true love, even marriage that way! I also like filling out forms and taking personality quizzes. They're all about me, and I appreciate that. Rob and I recently saw a commercial for one of those sites and I suggested we both sign up and see if they would match us based on our profiles. I'm not sure he's game, but in the interest of a fun blog post, I thought I'd draft my profile and then have you do the same. Hey, we're going interactive today!

I recently met a woman who was matched on eHarmony with her ex-husband. She was outraged, but I thought hey, the two of you had enough in common to get married at one point, so it made sense to me.
OK, I'll bite:
Early 40s widow, somewhat-short-for-my-weight, whose last date was in 1996 seeks smart, funny male for trial relationship. Must be impossibly kind and patient. I enjoy travel, cooking and yoga. Interested? Respond with a letter of recommendation from your ex-wife, photocopy of your voter registration card, the attached nine-page questionnaire completed (including essay questions) and a recent photo. Meanies, bitter people and iPhone obsessives need not apply.
