Internet, I'd like you to know

There is a special man in my life.

There are many, many reasons I didn't think I was going to be able to write that sentence.

Among those reasons are low self-esteem, and also the fact that I have never dated a boy.

Have I written about that yet here? No? *Scrolls back* Yeah, guess not. It's been all Jewish stuff, Jewish stuff, Jewish stuff.

So, let me put it into context.

I'm dating a nice Jewish boy!

My grandma will be so relieved.

Funny blogs help me get through my day.

Guys, I don't know about you. But when I'm at work as a counselor, in between people, I need something that's going to crack me up.

Today, I started out at Steam Me Up, Kid. A good start!

But then! I got linked to a regular commenter on her site, Miss Yvonne.

And then! I got linked to a weight loss blog, fatdad5k, and I was all: SWEET! A dude out there trying to do what I'd love to do!

And then, I found his post about Festivus.

I may be a Jewish chick going home to her semi-Christian family for Kwanzaa this year, but I was so thankful for the reminder of what the holiday season really is about.

Festivus. The holiday for the rest of us.

Macaroni and cheese, the airing of grievances: this is what holidays should be made of.

Thanks, Fatdad.

So glad to meet you.
