How did you's guy's meet again?

Do you's have mutual friends?

If not how is the whole friend merging thing goin'?

Sometimes it can be easy and sometimes its akward, thats why I'm asking.

We met at my friend Katy's birthday party, so yeah, we have some mutual friends. We knew who each other were when we were 19-22-ish, traveled in similar circles but never really met. He lived in Seattle for 6 years and then lived in a small town in northern Minnesota for a few years before coming back to Minneapolis in the last few years.

We talked a lot and then flirted and such at the party and then he asked me out the next day.

Friend merging is working quite well. I like his friends, he likes mine.

Awwww. Cool.

Okay, did you poop at all while you's were away together?

How? Did you wait till he went out for coffee in the morning? Or did you turn on the shower and poop before you got in?

Carrie's too much a lady to answer pooping questions.

Yey Carrie. So very romantic!

*sigh*

Of all the folks on the org, Carrie is like the girl about town-pretend tv character in my head with the signature hair, the crazy cute wardrobe, the day job, the city apartment, who cooks like a beast and does weird quirky stuff (cough cough, moderating a Prince site ) This new boyfriend sounds like the icing on the cake scene-from-a-sitcom gold!!!

You make my life sound so awesome.

Of course, I suppose it kind of is.

Maybe I should write a sitcom...

Yup, I don't see why not. where are the Mary Tyler Moores and Rhodas for the 21st century??? Too Much damned reality tv and talent contests ruling the tv airwaves...I mean, when it comes to my favorite girl in the big city show now being reduced to me slobbering over Bethenny Getting Married(?), yeah, we are in dire need of more scripted tv

(now sneaks off to log onto the www.scriptbuddy.com site for budding screenwriters

Look, I'm leaving for the beach monday and I just wanna know when and where I'm supposed to to poop without my boyfriend finding out I actually poop!

I never went AT ALL on ANY of my visits to Chris when we were dating.

To this day I will swear to his face that I never do "that." So silly, I know.

Yeah, this is the absolute worst. I HATE not going.

I have it down now that we live together though. He never catches me.

Aww gimme a break, you two! You have different sitcoms a-brewin in my mind! not wrong, but different.

Which btw, totally unrelated for chocolate1, why did I accept the offer to become an English Teacher substitute for my friend's classes while she's on vacation .... being a teacher, okay, that's a wholllllle 'nother show in and of itself. How the ?")?!%%$& do you have anything left after your day is done?????? This is a one shot, freelance deal for me, I barely survived. The kids had me looking like this at the end

Trust me chocolate, you need your own show with a totally different demographic

The thing with summer school is that it's not the "cream of the crop" kids. They passed their classes! It's definitely different than the regular school year.

Sometimes I went home and sat in front of the TV and just stared because of the heat and sheer "trifling-ness" of the day.

I'm glad you had the opportunity to do it, tho... Maybe you'll decide to become one of us!

*My best friend tells me that I could have a show like an updated "Welcome Back, Kotter" (I'm a SpEd teacher), or a "dramedy" about my personal life- which is a wreck sometimes.

When I read your reply, I was like because you made it seem like her life is the perfect example... of how to dress, wear your hair and just "be". I thought "Wow".

I was dealing with small children, the kindergarden (or actually the entire school system) here is pretty much year round and kindergarden is from 2-6 years of age. Little kids in kindergarden and lower and middle schools only get 4 weeks off and the older kids far, far away in the upper schools get 6 weeks. I was run so ragged by the little monsters I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I had older kids !!!

Crazy you should mention Welcome Back Kotter; because why did I get a class clown today (he was 5) who looked and laughed just like Arnold Horseshack???!!! He was working my nerves but his kindergarden jokes and his laugh would always bring me back to Horsehack, and the only thing I could think is that I was trapped in a sitcom. Teachers definitely have a screenplay that needs to written for them ! Do we have any cool teacher based shows anymore? Seems like we had a lot in the 70's and 80's ( I think I even remember small bits and pieces of the shows all the way back to "Room 222" )

Insofar as the Carrie MPLS Show ( ), no one should take it as the perfect example for anything, unless it rings true for them. If it does, then yippee. If not, then there are scores of other orgers here with different tastes, styles and interests that can appeal to most everyone. In these days of rampant 4+ inch shoe-a-holic-ism, you know there's a show waiting to be written for you, too !

...completely unrelated, but do you teach in your heels? Or do you wear flats? I remember my teachers all wore heels when I was little. Now as an adult I don't see how they managed!!!! My feet would be screaming bloody murder after 2 hours running after those little varmints (they're cute but they wear.you.out.). Just like you mentioned, in about 2 minutes I'm going to turn on the tv and stare at it . Chile, I feel like I have nothing left after this morning

so happy for you carrie!
