But ummm . . .

I was watching my favorite sitcom How I met Your Mother yesterday and it had this whole drinking game around one of the characters saying but umm and it's been stuck in my head ever since. Silly, I know.
My date with the rocker was a little rocky. It started out he was going to be 15 minutes late and I was right on time. Then the plan was to watch the UT game at a bar. Well the place turned out to not have a tv so we had to relocate. We ended up at the chop house which is a good date place. The nice guy took me there on our first date. The actual date was really awkward. I'm not sure that we have a lot in common and we had very little to talk about. We met at about 7:50 and I was at home by 9:21 and there was about a 20 minute drive to get home. I'm not sure I'll see him again and that will be ok. Back to match.com to find another match. I haven't given up hope yet. At least I'm getting some entertainment.
I finished the book The Gospel According to Sydney Welles. It wasn't a deep and meaningful book or anything like that. Just a pink book as I call them. I noticed that all those chick lit type books where there is love and career battling it out, the career never comes first. In fact, in a lot of those books the women quit their jobs and find something else to do. It's kind of weird if you ask me. Why is it that we think it has to be love or a career? Can't you have both? I'm starting to sound a bit like Carrie Bradshaw. Too much Sex and the City watching. Anyway, I've moved on to the sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which is called The Girl who Played with Fire. So far it is intriguing. I think it will be a good read. My only complaint is the chapters are really long. I hate to stop reading in the middle of a chapter. So when chapters are long, I can't read a chapter and then go to bed quickly.
My attempt at making a sourdough bread starter is not off to a good start. It rose some the first day but my house has been too cold for anything to happen since then. I'm not really sure what to do. I can't find a warm place to put it and it isn't doing anything. Oh well, I'll keep working at it.
