I Have No Idea What I’m Doing!

There are very few situations where I question my thoughts and/or actions. I’m spot-on or at the very least proficient in just about everything I do – until Him. Sure, we started out flawlessly; however, it was easy – he was so very communicative, with overflowing texts and verbal professions…

White Castle

It would be the most incredible occurrence in life; however, the timing is completely wrong. How can something so wonderful be considered so very wrong? Well, there are many things in this life that if they would have happened in another time or place – they would be celebrated, announced…

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…

Isn’t It All Temporary?

Recently someone told me that our relationship was ‘temporary’. I had to do everything I could to remain calm; however, after I had that not always taken ‘time-to-think’…. I realized how true that was. Life has a way of showing us just how ‘expendable’ we are. We all know that…

Chattanooga, TN

I’m still furious that the flags were NOT lowered and when I am furious – I write, here’s another CountryClaire original. I did not know these heroes and just recently learned their names For they never sought the glory nor hungered for this fame Each name represents a tragedy that…

Actions Triumph Words

In watching Blue Bloods I heard these words spoken, shortly after a Detective vowed to find the person responsible for the crime. “Actions triumph words.” This rings so true in my personal relationship simply because I have watched for so many ‘signs’; however, they never came. Yet, I had to…

The Men Who Built America

On Thanksgiving 2014 in the wake of the Darren Wilson Grand Jury decision, rioting has ensued across the country. I’ve chosen to watch The History Channel’s series; The Men Who Built America vs. news reports of those who choose to ‘burn this bitch down’. It’s puzzling to me that anyone would participate…

Found Our Real Deal

Some love comes in an instant, whereas, other love comes in time. I’m living a fairy tale, there are no swords, or castles – it’s the 2 of us, together enjoying one another with zero drama. We watch a few couples in the neighborhood endure police interaction, other suitors and…

Baby, It’s Cold Outside….

These words, I will never say; however, I love the song (and her mink wrap). Cool or bitter cold nights are good and bad; however, I will leave the reasons out for now. I value the bitter winter for it allows the ground to rest, the trees to shed a few…

Member: Ass of the Month Club

I do not want to put too much pressure on my current situation; however, after long last, I’ve disconnected myself from the club. I truly believe that for many years, I’ve had a membership to the Ass of the Month Club and NO, this is not some porn site… In…

Forever, For Now

In each dream there’s always that moment when you realize that you may not be dreaming at all… it’s real! The horse has gone to pasture and the armor is tucked away; however, your Knight is still shining. Does it really need to be forever or can you just revel…

Balance

It could be my Libra energy that inherently forces me to seek balance in all that I do; however, I have to think that some of that is simply practical thinking. Lately I have had an exciting addition in my life… one that I am very happy and elated about!…

Deploy or Not? What Makes a Marine?

While most of my posts have been around dating, relationships and disasters… I need to take a step back to write on another subject. Many of you know that I have a very special place in my heart for Marines. I respect and admire ALL branches of the military; however,…

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,…

Worth Waiting For…..

Growing up I pretty much had to have whatever I wanted – right then. Waiting was not in my repertoire. I had many options, avenues & adventures and I can assure you that whatever I wanted to do – I did or was in the midst of doing. It was…

I’m Still Here

It has been ages since I’ve made the time to post and while I would love to say that I’ve been on some lavish cruise, the truth of the matter is… I simply have not had much to write about. Sure, there have been experiences; however, none worth sharing. There…

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…
