2012 will be the year I find love

I have to start this with the admission that I'm pretty awesome.

I love my work, have great friends and a supportive family, am self-aware and, at this point have whittled my emotional baggage down to one small backpack.  I like to run, hike, bike, read, drink wine, cook, eat, sing, drink coffee, explore, watch Mad Men, practice yoga, travel, talk, listen, laugh, and squeeze the juice out of every day.  My life is rich. But I think I could exponentiate this richness with the right partner: a man who speaks the truth, is open to adventure, and adores me as much as I adore him.

I've heard there's a lid for every pot, and I want to find the perfect lid for myself in 2012. So I'm going on 52 dates in 52 weeks.  I imagine there might be some frogs in that batch, but I'm going to write something upbeat and delightful about each one.

The plan: online dating, speed dating, set-ups, and whatever else I need to do to keep up the pace of one date per week.
The rules: at least one blog entry per week, sharing with you, dear readers, all the good in the people I meet. Think Carrie Bradshaw without the complaining.
The caveat: when I find Mr. Right, all bets are off.

Thanks for sharing this sweet adventure with me!
