Can Money Buy Love?

Posted by kim 01.27.2008 9:15 pm in Assignations, Cinemations, Incantations

Have you seen the TV ads for “The Millionaire Matchmaker“? I haven’t seen the actual show as I don’t get BRAVO. But I checked out the website and took their quiz “What kind of date are you?”

My results showed that I’m a Career Girl
You like money, but you’re happy making it for yourself. In fact, you wouldn’t have it any other way. You could definitely see yourself with a millionaire, but only if he could handle you keeping your independence.

Who couldn’t see themselves with a millionaire?! Money may not buy love, but it sure helps. Hey, Facebook says I have 100% chance of being a multimillionaire myself, and the internet never lies…
You will almost certainly become a multimillionaire. You are smart with money and a creative thinker. Just keep what you’re doing and you might be the next Bill Gates!

If all else fails, I’ll have to sign up for a free membership at WealthyMen.com or SugarDaddie.com.

Song stuck in my head… Elton John’s Benny & the Jets from 27 Dresses - I took the twins & friends to that movie for their birthday.

Light BulbI had to call my friend’s husband again last night. See the lightbulbs under my overhead vented microwave burnt out. My old house used a simple regular lightbulb, but after removing the cover, I found 2 odd bulbs that I couldn’t get out. I had my son (who is stronger than me) get the first one unscrewed, but the second one broke off, leaving just the base in. I attempted to use tweezers to get it out and now I may never be able to pluck my eyebrows with them again. So my friends came to my rescue with a needle-nosed pliers.

Speaking of lights, in my next house, I will not install so many recessed can lights simply because the flood bulbs are so darn expensive! Sure, I can buy some at the Dollar Tree store for a buck, but they don’t last long. I could buy a regular 4-pack of light bulbs for under a buck, but they would look tacky. I did invest in some fluorescent flood lights with a 7-year warranty, but I hope to build a new house before 7 years. And with my luck, they’ll burn out in 4 or 5 years, and I won’t remember where I put the receipt/UPC. In fact, I don’t remember already (file 13 probably).

I also had the electrician come out a few weeks ago because 2 of my light fixtures were not working anymore. I had been complaining of the vent fan on one of those lights leaking water which I was kept being told was from condensation. Well, when he removed the fixture, gallons of water poured out. He had to add a bend to the exhaust pipe and put in a new fixture, and it’s now as good as new.

What I’m listening to on iTunes: “Gunpowder & Lead” by Miranda Lambert. I think I need to invest in that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend CD.

May I borrow your husband?

Smiling Washing MachineLast night, my washing machine just quit in the middle of a load of laundry. Having a semi-bad day already, I didn’t need another problem to worry about. Would I need to buy a new washer? Is the laundrymat open to finish washing my clothes? What’s a single mom to do?

I call one of my married friends (aren’t they all married now?) and ask if her husband can come over to check out my dilemma. But before he could get here, I fixed the problem myself! Flipped the breaker switch and pushed the reset button on the outlet. Thank God nothing was wrong with my washer, but why am I blowing fuses already?

So, I now have another reason why I want to get married - for help around the house. The original tagline of this site was “Kim’s Journey not only to Build a New House, but to Find a Man to help Share it.” Well, the house is now built, but still not shared.
