Snapped back

It seems that I have snapped out of my little funk, so I'm feeling good!  Not sure what did it, but knowing I wasn't at my best and that it would get better over time helped.  If only I could figure out what the magic trick was...

On the travel front, I have a fun trip in the making.  I'll be spending 3 weeks in Europe for work next month, with most of the weekdays in Paris, except for 3 days in Munich and 2 or 3 days in Marseille.  I'm planning to visit my friends Jen and Jeff in Zurich and Courtney and Karl and Ryan in Amsterdam over the weekends.  I'm really looking forward to it!!  Perhaps I'll have some more Parisian observation-like entries?!  I'm likely flying out 3 weeks from tomorrow, so I've got some booking to do!!

I'm really excited for the Stupid Cancer Happy Hour tomorrow with a friend.  Here's what it's about:

Just to be clear: I do not have cancer.  I'm just in a very similar boat and the BTSG was a nightmare.

I'm venturing back out into the (online) dating world, although I do NOT plan to share any details of those endeavors on here.  (Unless they're hilarious, that is.)  But I have noticed 1 huge difference from when I've done it before to now.  Previously, I felt a little popular during online dating, if I can say that without sounding conceited.  I got winks or emails or indications of general interest on a pretty regular basis, probably averaging to 1 or 2 new contacts a day.  I probably had maybe 15-20 new profile views per day.  

This time, I added a handful of short-hair pics (obviously!) and the traffic has gone down SO MUCH!!!!!!  Noticeably so.  I get a contacted maybe once every 3 or 4 days on average, and my profile views can be counted on 1 hand each day.  Maybe, if it's a big day.  I had suspicions before my haircut that guys wouldn't like it, but then all of my guy friends told me they loved it, so I figured I was wrong.  Well, the online dating community doesn't feel the same way.  I'm not sure if the people that know me in real life have a different opinion of my 'do because they know the story behind it, who knows.  What I do know is that the number of winks and emails and profile views is really irrelevant (especially when it's mostly riff raff anyway) and that there ARE guys with potential on there.  So I'm not too worried about it.  Just making an observation.  :)

Alright, I'm off to an exciting Friday night of a post-blogging walk on the treadmill.  I know; please contain your jealousy.  Have a fantastic weekend!!!
