Quit Asking!
I definitely believe in helping others. I wish that there was more that I could do; however, I do what I can and in some cases I do more than I should. I do not think that I am any better than anyone else and trust me, there are tons …

Shame On Me!
It’s been forever and a day since I’ve added something new; however, there’s no excuse – well, there are excuses, yet, if you’ve spent any time on my site – you’ve come to know I’m not one for excuses! No Whining! Oh, what a time I’ve had lately, some good, …
Missed Moment or Moment Missed
Last night I spent a great deal of time speaking with a very handsome man. I had wondered if he had interest or if he was seeking conversation with someone other than his travel mate. We spoke of past relationships, where we are now, the B-52’s and photography. It was …
Future Missed
With the entire December album of George Winston playing in the background I write this. Thanksgiving being the first song. The holiday itself is about sharing, time with family and taking your stomach to task. As I listen to George display his talent, I wonder about my ‘special purpose’ as …
By My Side
All too often people write about the misses of life, the opportunities that have passed or how they never opened the door meant for them. Society is more interested in the demise of another versus the stories of triumph, success or reached goals. It’s such a very sad thing that …
Strollers
I would rather see gangsters at MOA than preoccupied Mothers with strollers. I would feel safer next to loaded weapons than a Mother who is too busy trying to see if a dress is on sale. It’s a classic situation… I’m shopping, checking things out.. and then all of a …
You’re Fired
If anyone thinks that firing someone is easy, they’re wrong. Even when the firing is completely justified, it still never feels good. If someone says, they’re ok with it, they’re in the WRONG position. In many instances I want to share with the person that I’m letting go that I …
A New Kind of Happy
His smile…I recall a time as I drove up, he smiled. It wasn’t huge, it was genuine and true – just as he is. Watching him think before he speaks or as he is recalling something… his words have meaning. Despite success, he’s humble – no need for false bravado! …
When Your Rock Becomes A Pebble
It’s near impossible for a woman to rely on another without looking needy. It goes without saying that we, as people need one another in different capacities; however, let’s really look at this: When getting to know someone you have that excitement period that literally has no time limit; however, …
Tough As An Egg, Sharp As A Ball This is the Theme of My Dating Life Y’all
All kidding aside I’ve taken a moment or many to think about where I am and why it is that on most weekends I am spending time at home, alone with my puppies. Yes, I want to share special moments with one person; however, I find that I desire that …
Screaming Girls Annoy Me
Last night I went to a friend’s house to keep me from going elsewhere. When I arrived she had to leave for a while and so there I was with 3 High School Freshmen Girls. Oh, there was screaming, shrieking and laughter…for what? I have no idea; however, it was …
I’m Still Smoking….
…my electronic cigarette! While in Chicago this past November my friend JJ, no not, Jimmy Walker…took me to CigNot. She highly recommended the electronic cigarette. I had thought about quitting; however, each attempt was, well, unsuccessful. She was not pushy; however, she knew how wonderful this was and she knew …
Now, I Don’t Want To Talk! (I guess)
Mr. Cute and I have been talking recently; however, days past by without a call or text and in my new approach, I was not driving the ship. Yet, I felt that I had every right to reach out, check-in – see what, if anything was up. So I did. …
If We’re Not Serious – Am I Kidding Myself?
It’s hard to put into words what has recently come to light; however, a blog is the perfect place in which to try. Although the word serious can take on many levels of interpretation, the use of the word in regard to personal relationships is what I am writing about …
When Push Comes to Shove, In Love
It had been on my mind; however, was it the person or the action that caused me angst? When I started to go into it… it became evident that I was not looking at the person, I was recalling the action of another. Shame on me! I try to keep …
Dedicated Evasive Automatic
This morning while getting ready I caught a few minutes of The Recruit with Al Pacino…more or less the movie is about the training of CIA Agents and the twists and turns are constant. First you think that Layla really did get cut from the school only to realize that it was …
Does Everything Align
One of the funniest things about meeting new people is ‘thinking’ that you have your preference list all thought out; however, there’s always the possibility that you meet someone where you have absolutely nothing in common. Sure, you can share a few likes i.e. chili, political view and being left-handed, …
I Earned My WTF Were You Thinking Badge
If dating was setup like the Girl Scouts….I would have recently earned my WTF Were You Thinking Badge! I would have had it a few days ago; however, my recent text exchange with Mr. Cute solidified it. For moments, OK, days I toiled with his comment… We would have been …
Border Patrol, It’s Not Just For The South
How on earth could someone stick & stay so tightly to their position? Simple, they are aware of their boundaries. For over a week I’ve been blathering on about how Mr. Cute has stated: “I don’t want to talk.” He never truly wavered on this and any conversation was short …
Am I A Dog?
I have a pretty good overall demeanor, most that have met me sense that I am independent, capable, intelligent and kind; however, it has been said more than once that they would never want to cross me. I say that because that is what I’ve been told and in truth, …
I’d Rather Be Alone & Lonely, Than Lonely & With Someone
I’ve said this a time or two before, usually to someone else that was going through a bad break-up or difficult relationship; however, until recently I did not realize that I was full of crap! For the past week or two, not only have I felt lonely with Mr. Cute, …
Stuff
I took a stand, sort of….after 5 days of no-contact (our schedule was daily) I felt that I should collect my ‘stuff’ at Mr. Cute’s place. I decided to do it, so that I would not have the urge to get something I needed. He had said that he didn’t …
Radiance Abound
I’ve been the reader/follower of many relationship blogs… and I have learned some invaluable things… yet, what I have learned most is that there are more blogs about issues than about successes. I totally understand that someone else’s joy amidst your pain or confusion may be hard to stomach; however, …
Unknown
By now I should realize that all of the thinking, worrying and fear will inevitably be for nothing… irrespective of the outcome all of this time spent has absolutely no benefit. I am driving myself crazy and for what purpose… since I am keeping my things to myself, well, with …
Achievement!
Today, I had set out to do a number of things; however, what actually got completed was less than what I had planned; however, here’s the deal… I feel great! I was able to get home (finally) and hook-up my surround-sound system. I am on the hunt for the other …
Withdrawal
We have not broken up; however, I have found myself in ‘giving him space’ mode… this time, he did not ask for it, yet, his treatment definitely warranted an out. I’ve been absolutely thrilled about this man because he is different, an against the grain type gent; however, one of his …
Let Me Know
In today’s world it appears that women insist on being independent; however, I think that it’s been taken a little too far. I’ve been guilty of this as well; however, no longer. I do need others and more importantly I want others in my life. I have my family that …
A Goose Looking For Her Gander
Depending on where you live you’ve probably encountered a Canada Goose…perhaps you’ve been on the receiving end of their all too well-known protective nature, but, irrespective of the interaction I am sure you know a little about them. Here’s what I admire most about the Canada Goose….they mate for life. Yes, …
Welcome Back!
I’ve learned a valuable lesson recently and I definitely know that it is something that some women know all too well; however, I would venture to guess at the number of blog posts that MOST women do not have a clue as to what I am going to share….. When …
Feel Real
There are moments in life when you find yourself doing something that you would not normally do; however, some of those things could be new experiences whereas others are things that you perceive as demeaning and/or simply wrong. I am not going to be too elusive here, yet, I will …
I Cover My Eyes……
Depending on who you ask… I have been known to be a little tough or rough around the edges..again, depending on who you ask. I can also be one of the softest, most vulnerable people you’ll ever know…. Again, depending on who you ask. Yet, what most of you may …
No Worries
In a recent discussion with my Beau I joked that I was jealous; however, in truth he’s never given me an ounce in which to worry or be truly jealous about. As always we had a wonderful conversation, filled with equal listening and sharing… I know, it’s getting pretty sappy …
Museum Quality
Have you ever known someone SO crazy that you want to encase them in glass and sell them to the Guggenheim? I do! In fact I have 2 that I know of. The one is certifiable whereas the other one could with some assistance probably find their way back to Saneville; …
Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner
It would be all too easy to simply start this post with an explanation of the title…but, I will say that sometimes when you win, a chicken dinner is not your prize; however, when and if it is… enjoy it! We all show care in various ways.. if it was …
The Bridge Has Been Burned
When I was growing up I heard the expression to never burn any bridges… at a young age, I thought – duh, that’s arson. But, now being older and perhaps a little wiser, I now understand what the expression means. You never want to burn a bridge on the off …
Indignant
I think when you care about someone deeply, every emotion you have toward them and/or for them is always stronger. I also believe that the people you are closest to or care a lot about are those that you can have positive & negative feelings for. It would be lovely …
Setting Goals
I think it’s important that you set both attainable and unattainable goals. In truth, you do not necessarily know which is which and that should be part of the excitement. It’s easy to set goals that you know you have a great likelihood of achieving; however, how many of us …
Golden Rule Twist
The Golden Rule is to treat others as you would like to be treated; however, despite that statement’s overall meaning, there is a twist to it when it comes to relationships…. I believe that you should be respectful not because someone else has been to you, but, because that is …
Collaboration
Most things require some sort of collaborative event…. I’ve seen shirts that say: Plays well with others; however, never would I think to buy one for myself. I know that I play nice; however, at the same time as I age, I also know that I play strict. Never will …
Too Fat To Fit
I’ve been dealing with my ‘baby weight’ recently. I thought that since my ‘baby’ graduated from High School it was about time. Although my son was never a chore, there were times throughout his childhood where my energy to do much else that survive was slim to none. I carried …
Born At The Wrong Time….
I will always say that children come when they come… yet, I believe that I was born at the wrong time. I know that the grass is always greener on the other side; however, despite that knowledge I sincerely believe that I should have come to this world… around the …
Take Yourself Out of the Game!
I will be the first to admit that Females of all ages can get a little crazy; however, I would like to make the following request: Ladies: If you’re dating for dinner, self-validation or you have nothing better to do, please, take yourself out of the game, you’re ruining perfectly …
