It might say, “Thou shall not post too frequently on your blog” in the blogging code of ethics, but I bite my thumb at the blogging code of ethics. So, there.
Just so everyone’s up to date on my quest to “get myself a boyfriend” (at Papa’s recommendation), I wrote my personal ad and I submitted it to the local newspaper. Okay, so I didn’t actually submit it, but I thought it might be funny to write. Here it is:
Single, white female.
Loves the smell of babies, laughing until she (nearly) pees her pants, the feel of sand between her toes and rain on her face.
Wants children, a home, and a breathtakingly beautiful romance.
Has a plan for a wedding rehearsal in a barn.
Seeks a strong leader who is willing to run barefoot in the park.
To inquire, please send a handwritten letter on beautiful stationary to:
(Insert address here)
God pity the man who responds to this ad. Ha. Really, I’m not obsessed with my singleness (I’m stinkin’ 22!) but, it seems, everyone else is. So, I think it’s funny to play along. Thanks for putting up with my goofy musings.

Tyler, I love it. You definitely made me smile. Our roles are equally mind-boggling. I'm glad you're not down with the idea of being "with child." I, on the other hand, cherish the thought that maybe...someday...God will intrust me with something so miraculous and wonderful. Sigh.
Also... no one told me about a rehearsal in a barn. I would have thought that after 13 years of friendship I would have been made privy to all of your wedding plans (because let's be honest, you've been planning your wedding since you were in the womb) – but I was definitely in the dark on this one.
Here is my ad:
Single, white, slightly goofy female. Loves art, kids, and laughter, as well as her Dust Buster and her Jesus (heh). Seeks artsy boy who will take initiative in getting her out to do the fun things she loves but has no motivation to plan herself. Is allergic to cats. No men who have served/are serving time need apply.
Dang-it! So, I accidentally removed my first comment, which ticks me off. I'm having so much trouble posting today. Blah. It's not my fault, either. Damn Al Gore and his blasted internet.
I said something like: the first (and last) time I ran through the park barefoot, I got stung by a bee. I also said that babies smell terrible, and make lousy potpourri. Oh bother.
Ha! Such props for using the phrase "bite my thumb." I love it. I recently saw something that said how handwritten letters were all grandma-ish. I couldn't disagree more, there's nothing better than getting a handwritten letter, especially when it comes from someone special.
Sherry, I think that one of my most favorite things in life would be laughing with you until you (almost) pee your pants. You have a very contagious laughter - I wish I could hear it right now!
I think that the word pee should usually be left out of personal adds. But that is just a general rule. There may be exceptions. Also, I think that many strong leader guys won't know what you mean by "beautiful stationary." You may want to put a link to a web site where they can buy it or something.
Oh, and about childbirth. We are going to have our baby (although Steph is going to do the work) in just over 10 weeks, Lord willing. It is really exciting. We'd appreciate your prayers.
ok here is my personal ad:
Single white male...and i mean white as in 'obviously is deathly afraid of skin cancer' white. I like writing and all that crap. I like music but not crappy music, movies-even crappy ones. Wants to get married one day but not just so he can have more hump days than wednesdays. HAHAHAHAHA i couldn't wait to make that joke you guys....really i couldn't....i've been planning it for so long. Thank you sherry for the opportunity. I love you all.
Pete...I had no intention of setting you up for a hump day joke. What I want to know is, what girl could resist that personal ad?? We do need to know what kind of a girl you're seeking, though. I have some matchmaking business to catch up on. I had a bunch of fun with you Friday; I'm super glad that I got to see you. Thanks for helping me make non-scrapbookable memories that I'd like to forget:) I love you, friend.
Bre!!! It's understood. This so-called husband will not mess with my nephew/niece/friend's children time. You kids are in. I'm excited to meet the little monsters. More babies might push Cameron over the edge, though...good thing Jeff's away for a while:) I'm glad you're a blogger. Oh, and to starting your own posts, I say, "do it...do it...do it!" Aloha!
Single, independent, child free life what more could youwant at 23 till 30!!!!????
