I absolutely love spicy food! I also like a cold lemonade on a hot summer day; however, I am not a fan of hot & cold people. I am a big fan of relaxation and life off the fast lane; however, a quick personality flip weirds me out. I have no…
In writing this blog, I’ve taken the very most recent events and then sprinkle events of long ago throughout. Some of the items just occurred whereas others were years ago. I find that writing here brings me a great release, it allows me to see an event in print… to…
Over the years I’ve grown leaps & bounds; however, despite that growth, there are still a few things that I tend to avoid. One of which being motorcycles…. I know that there is a huge world of motorcyclists and that there is a great love of them… but despite my…
I think everyone can get ‘excited’ about something; however, when it comes to dating… there is a definite difference between that of a woman and a man. I have known the most stable of women to absolutely lose their minds when a new love interest comes into the picture… and…
Online dating is a funny thing… it can introduce you to someone wonderful or provide you with a host of stories for years to come. I know that some people like to date around, even, after they meet someone of sincere interest.. they continue to go to the river and…
All too often I hear about the tragedies that people feel powerless too; however, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I will never say that someone contracted Cancer because they deserve it… that is a very typical argument response. Stating that everything happens for a reason simply…
As many of you know I have been on a few dates; however, I had a very interesting Saturday evening option…. let me set the stage: We began talking… it was an enjoyable tennis-match of texts and then it moved to a conversation…. As the conversation progressed, meeting appeared to…
But… the post intended for this day was never put to ‘paper’….. I am not quite sure if I am cut out for more rounds of dating roulette, I get, that you can’t win, if you don’t play… but….sheesh! I remain optimistic and believe that there is someone out there… a man with…
No, not what you’re thinking, it’s just another way of saying: Do’s & Don’t’s When it comes to the picture or pictures. DO: Post a relatively clear, recent picture of yourself. DON’T: Post a picture of yourself far off in the distance, posed with your most recent Ex OR sleeping….
It wasn’t a typical first meet up; however, it was nonetheless a meet-up! He was easy-going, funny and kind. We had a blast, talked the night away…. and at the end of the night he kissed me! I hoped to see him again…. The next few days were with his…
I have been a loyal watcher of COPS for years and there have been many an entertaining moment; however, my favorite episode is one that I’ve only seen a handful of times, long before DVR’s. I cannot even recall the jurisdiction; however, here’s a summary: A call of Domestic Violence…
I have great fun with Facebook, connecting with friends of long ago…. keeping up-to-date with those you just can’t bring yourself to call… but, my favorite pastime of Facebook is reading the status updates of those that simply cannot express themselves. Post after post, I get to read someone or many almost…
I tend to write about dating a lot and/or my perception of whatever the hell I feel like talking about; however, today I am switching gears …. I want to try and share a moment that I’ve never experienced firsthand; however, I was lucky enough to be an onlooker to what…
I have often wondered what the world would be like if no one ever committed a jerk move. I am not talking about social faux pas, that a person simply does not know that they have committed….more on the lines of something like these examples: Any Twin Cities local that…
This is probably one of ‘THE’ biggest red flags a dating profile can contain…. I’ve written about this in the past; however, after reading more profiles, I simply have to say something again…. First of all, I think it is wonderful that people love their children. That is great, grand…
I definitely do not have all of my ducks in a row; however, I firmly believe that they are at least in the same room. I have an opinion on just about anything… just ask me. One of the primary tenets that I ascribe to and wholeheartedly believe in… is…
I enjoy watching the Storage War type shows; however, I would really like to see a show about the people who previously owned the abandoned locker… especially when the new owners find out that they have collectible Star Wars toys worth thousands of dollars… or I saw another show in…
At the close of 2011 I made the statement that I would not be dating… yet, during that same time frame, I also made the statement that I would be getting married on 12-12 of 12… In truth, I am not planning an actual wedding of any sorts… yet, I…
I have found text messages to be wonderful; however, they still have their MAJOR downfalls… For me a text is a nice thing to send to let someone know that you’re thinking of them; however, it should not be the primary form of communication. I love an AM text that…
During an evening with friends at a Thai restaurant in Uptown Minneapolis… I decided that I had enough to drink and it was time to go to the restroom. Although rare for me, I asked another person to go. When I got into the stall I noticed that there was…
I feel very lucky to always have enjoyed my work… and therefore I do not really feel like it is ever work… I enjoy learning new things, meeting new people, achieving goals and setting new ones for future success. I have had a wide array of experiences; however, each one…
I have the incredible opportunity to spend time each month, if not more with some of our Nation’s finest heroes. I am sure if they learned that I referred to them as ‘heroes’, they would want me to use another word; however, I can’t think of another one that fits….
Life is full of routines, some we dictate and others that simply unfold as we breathe. I am all about routines, processes & procedures when it comes to work; however, I prefer to be a little less stringent in personal. I am not about to claim that whatever happens in…
I do and I know I shouldn’t, but, I do. There are moments where I think about you and I am mad… not upset, angry – plain, old, regular mad… then there are other moments in which I think about you with such alluring thoughts that I cannot help, but,…
I’ve been doing a lot more introspection lately; however, I think it’s been going for a lot longer than that… yet, I never had the desire to write about it. Despite my outgoing nature… I am relatively private in what I share about how I feel. I know that there…
But, you are definitely entitled to think she is! It never ceases to amaze me how vain some can be. I think I was at one point too; however, I am pleasantly pleased to overhear a conversation in a restaurant and be relieved that it has nothing to do with…
I definitely do not feel like I should be calling the Cremation Society or that AARP has my name on their mailing list; however, I also did not know that I still had a few butterflies in my stomach. But, during a dinner…. I was giddy in conversation and although…
I cannot remember the person that used the phrase: Snap a binder; however, I’ve fallen in love with it. Here are a few situations that ‘snap my binder’! Motorists that slow down to gawk at a routine traffic stop. I definitely understand safety for the Officers; however, move to the…
I am not speaking about any particular person; however, I am taking a far different approach personally… I am a ‘right now’ person, immediate, instant gratification whatever you want to call it. I have been that way for most of my life and in truth, it has served me well; however, please…
Kitty & Tiger are both from rescue, Kitty had a more docile history whereas Tiger’s was a bit more tumultuous. It’s funny, I know that a lot of animals end up in rescue due to horrid circumstances; however, many others are the victims of the economy, the death of a…
My posts have been little to non-existent, since I started this blog up again, so here’s a little history……The last few months of 2011 were a little tumultuous; however, for good reason…. In mid-November, I was let go from my job, fired, layed-off, dismissed, relieved…. whatever the term, I was FREE! My professional…
After hearing the suggestion… ‘you should write a book’ has been posed once again, I think the best way to start would be to blog. I’ve kept this address for quite sometime; however, it has remained dormant. In an effort to see if I have enough ‘material’ to write about……
Come sit next to me!” This is an all-time favorite line from the movie Steel Magnolias. I have been known to say it a time or two. I have other favorite quotes…here are just a few: Paul: Justin Bateman has the line of a lifetime… I cannot wait for the…
If you’ve ever met me you’ll know that my louder than normal voice and unfiltered comments are just some of the things that I am known for; however, what you may not know is just how small I feel at times. I realize that no other person will ever ‘complete’…
There are severely stupid people that walk this earth. I’m not touching on those that do not possess common-sense nor am I thinking about those that have a chemical deficiency…I am focusing solely on the those that are so stupid that they cannot adjust to the easiest of atmospheres. It…
It’s no secret that I’m a long-time Country Music fan; however, what you may not know is that Country Music has not just been something for me to listen to… the lyrics in songs have dictated many of my thoughts, perceptions and in truth, feelings. I would be hard-pressed to…
Since connecting my blog to Facebook I’ve refrained from writing about specific people of which I still speak to and/or real fresh events or experiences, so, please know that the subjects here of this writing could be recent or as old as 20 years ago. If you think you’re the…
In a post not too long ago I wrote about saying “I love you” and how often when it is said there’s an underlying expectation it would be reciprocated. I’ve never believed in loving with conditions and when I had that sort of expectation, in truth, I’ve come to realize…
