It doesn’t make for an appealing dating season.

Couple making snow angelsBut for some reason, this week, I’ve gotten a handful of emails on Ok Cupid, and even commented to one of the guys that I’m surprised to have heard from him in the middle of the winter. It’s nice to have a little romantic jolt or spark amongst the dismal dark days of winter.

I have a tentative date set for Saturday night. We’ll see how dating in the dark goes!

About a week ago, I had this overwhelming feeling to take a break from Facebook. I’ve been actively using it everyday – minus a vacation here or there – since it opened up to the public (beyond college students). So, I waved my metaphorical goodbye and told my friends that if they wanted to reach me, they could find me on email or phone.

I wanted a break for two reasons:

1) I was feeling glum, depressed, lousy, whatever word you want to use for shitty, and was concerned I’d start voicing that online. Not a good idea!

2) All of the holidays photos of friends and their husbands/wives and kids were annoying me. My friends and their husbands/wives and their kids were not annoying me, but the happy, smiling faces were annoying me.
