eHarmony Weekend Update

Cat, in all her infinite wisdom, decided we needed to blog in different colors, you know, because she writes so many posts. But here's my color. It may not always be this exact color, but I'll be in the blue family, and she'll be in the red.

Today I just wanted to catch up with the eHarmony weekend happenings. First, I decided not to log onto to eHarmony all weekend. Everyone who knows me, knows I love rules, and that's what I decided a rule for me was. No logging on, or answering questions, etc. on the weekend. And since I was pretty busy, it was pretty easy.

I got two communications Friday while I was at work, and now I'm at the point where the next step is for me to send them both my must haves/can't stands. I haven't heard back from the police officer, but that's okay, maybe he plays by the same weekend rules. So, I had no updates all weekend since I was waiting for police officer, and everyone else is waiting for me.

I did do a little Internet researching and discovered that eHarmony does not remove profiles. So, once you're done, before your subscription expires, you need to delete everything from your account. I certainly don't want my profile out there when I don't know who's receiving it. So, this was good to know. Additionally, it makes sense why out of my matches, over half never viewed me, nor responded. Also, out of all the ones I closed, only one responded with the "good luck on your search." (I'm not sure if there are other options available since I've never received one, nor had anyone close me out). I bet these people are not active matches. I think when I log on later tonight, I'll turn my receive matches back to on, because out of my 35 matches (remembering I turned matches off a few days ago), I think only 13 are active members. I would like the police officer to respond though.

In other weekend news, on Saturday, I went to a baby shower. It's for a girl that I'm not super close with, but like, so I agreed to go. Thursday, I get a frantic call from the girl hosting the shower saying "Please don't bail on Saturday!" Apparently, no one RSVP'd to the shower. On Wednesday, she called the girl for whom the shower was for to see if anyone RSVP'd to her, because apparently I was the only one who did. No, that was it, just me, the girl having the baby, and the girl throwing the shower. I feel terrible. That is so sad. Who are these people that don't know how to RSVP one way or the other? I just was appalled by how rude some people are. I felt bad, it was going to take her two seconds to open our gifts, but on the bright side, I didn't have to play any "Guess How Big Mommy Is" games. Also, I always get a giant box of diapers as my gift. That's my thing. Most people get little clothes and cute things, because they are more fun to buy. But half the time, most of those things don't even get worn because the baby out grows them. At 10 diapers a day, I've decided diapers are the way to go, and are usually the most appreciated gift. Albeit, not the cutest, or most fun. No one is gooing and gawing when the mom opens a box of 200 Huggies, but I've always heard great feed back. Well, since there weren't a lot of people there at the shower, I did feel bad that she wouldn't have any cute things to open, but my gift was already bought, and I certainly wasn't going back into Babies R Us for fear that I might get pregnant just being around all those women and babies! The girl throwing the shower, went out and bought a ton of gifts, and wrapped them all separately so the girl would have a lot of presents to open. That girl has a heart of gold, I tell you. I mean, usually the shower is the gift.

I guess that's it. I may post again when I log on tonight. My rule was no eHarmony all day Friday -Sunday at 7pm. So, we'll see if I have any updates by that time.

xoxo, Maxine
