Jen's Bio & a Few More Pics

OK - So I'm finally getting around to posting more photos of her as some of you have inquired/requested/I only have posted ONE photo of her on here (I know it shouldn't be ALL about looks, but you need to know what you may be getting yourself into, right?)

(Sorry Jen, HAD to post that photo....but to be fair, I'll post the similar photo of myself:

(we were going to a wedding with our mom; in her car she has these 'glasses over glasses' which, as my mom claims "helps you see in the dark!" .....I guess you'd have to be there! lol)

Anyways, I hope that's sufficient for everyone out there. I really don't want to post too many photos of her as I just have this notion that all I'm doing is supplying someone with more photos for their personal 'spank bank'........Gross? Yes. Likely to occur? It's possible. Needed to be pointed out by me? Probably not.

So I asked her earlier this week to provide me with some sort of bio about herself and what she's looking for in a guy. Sure, I can list tons of attributes I would LIKE for her to like in a guy, but my needs/wants can vary from her needs/wants to some degree....so *drumroll please* without further ado, taken straight from her mouth (err....or more like from my the email I received from her), I present to you, Jen's Bio:

I'm a friendly, outgoing (once i warm up) person who has a passion for travel, music and living life to the fullest. I love my family and friends. I enjoy the little things in life, and savour the big moments and feel that it's time for me to settle down a smidge and find someone to share it with - or at the very least, have fun looking

What I look for in a person - A kind, caring person. Sense of humour and can laugh at themselves. Responsible. Positive. Fun-loving. Honest. Trustworthy. Easy-going. Spontaneous.

Likes - someone who can carry on a conversation, someone who can have just as much fun doing something as doing nothing, ambition, sense of humour, thoughtful

Dislikes - indecisiveness, wallflowers, lack of independence, popped collars, doucebaggery

A Much Needed Update

I finally have found the time to update! YAY!
Sorry everyone who reads this for my lack of updates over the past couple of days, but I've been sick with a cold and really haven't felt like doing much after G's gone to bed (except watching Game of Thrones....great show!)

Anyways, it's come to my attention that I have to get on top of a few matters:

1. For those sending POF messages where all you say is 'hey' or something very similar/generic, I delete your message.  Sorry, no hard feelings, but you're not catching my attention in the least.  With that being said, I have like 8 pages of messages to sort through and determine if any are worthy of messaging back.
2. I need to revamp the profile with likes/dislikes.  I knew this while making the profile, but I know I really have to get on top of it.  At the same time, I need to put together a list of things for you guys to answer, past the typical BS you see on all the dating sites........I'll probably post this all on here too......
3. eHarmony is wrapping up their free communication weekend tomorrow.  I have yet to take advantage of this and have 70-some-odd 'connections' to filter through

.....of course I left this all for Sunday night......

I'm hoping that I can at least sort through all the POF/eH messages and send out messages to ones I feel have potential!

In other news, one of my friends sent me a text the other day mentioning that one of his good college buddies is also single and sick of the online dating scene, is ready to settle down, etc. and wanted to see if my sister was interested.....we exchanged their contact information and we'll see where is goes from here.  So far they've become friends on facebook so that's a step in the right direction!

It's a new year!  My hopes are HIGH!

Please Jen, no more messes this year!

POF

...just wanted to put this out here (mostly for Jen)

but so far so good! :)

Internet Dating

So this morning before Georgia woke up, I created an eHarmony account on behalf of Jen; choosing all the information (i.e. rate what you think of xxx) to my best knowledge.

So far, I've gotten a handful of emails saying that people are interested; however Jen's profile is only half filled out and I have yet to add photos........also, in order for me to enjoy the site to it's fullest potential, I'd have to cough up like at least $20 a month......hopefully there's a free communication weekend soon because I'm not about to pay that type of cash for Jen (sorry Jen!).

As I am writing this, I am creating Jen a plenty of fish account (www.pof.com)
...and COMPLETE!  If you want to stalk her profile, her user name is G-N-A-U!

Why does Georgia Need An Uncle?

As my very first post to this blog; I figured I better give all the background information as to WHY I am blogging about the lack of an uncle for Georgia (my daughter)...it's actually pretty simple:

1. Ben (my husband) is an only child;
2. I have one sister; and
3. Jen (my sister) always attracts the wrong type of guy.

Needs an Uncle!

Jen has had bad luck with guys ever since......well...pretty much  ever since she's ever started dating guys.  From guys addicted to various drugs to those who share apartments with their grandfather; she's always been attracted/dated guys with some sort of 'hang up'.  I told her a couple of months ago that pretty soon I was going to demand that I get a say in who she dates (kind of like a 'pre dating my sister interview').  I've come to the conclusion that if I don't intervene with Jen's dating habits, Georgia is going to be her own cousin and my sister will turn into some type of crazy old cat lady.

So why should you be interested in potentially becoming Georgia's only uncle?

• Georgia IS pretty darn cute;
• Ben can likely get you out of a lot of future speeding tickets; and
• Jen's relatively normal; I was able to live with her for twenty-some-odd years and we are still really close today.

My goal is to search all venues for someone who measures up to my standards (and really, they're not very high standards)....guys must be employed in a successful career, must either live alone or with roommates (and grandfathers do not count as roommates), no addictions, no wives/girlfriends, no crazy gambling debts, must have a driver's license, loves life, dedicated, caring, funny, decent looking.........I really don't think that's too much to ask for, do you?
