A Facebook friend posted a status saying her dad was coming in town and she wanted to make him a to-do list but thinks he will just hand her a screwdriver and show her how to do it herself. I wanted to respond with "That's why I slept around, men will hammer a lot of things to hammer you" but then I realized it was inappropriate.
I got an email from our office of professional and career development because I missed some stupid lunch and learns and then a place I had an interview with canceled, rearranged the date, canceled, rearranged the date giving me less than 24 hours notice both times and I didn't sign up for a new interview time this time. I thought I sent an email, but it apparently just got put in my draft box and never sent. So, she sent me an email saying she was worried about me. I think this is a sign I need to quit moping and pull my head out my ass.

I would love it if my dad taught me how to do repairs so that I could do them myself. I rent, so I don't have to, but if I owned, I would want to learn.
BF said the cutest thing the other day. He asked me if I knew why he doesn't usually say "I love you" at the end of our phone conversations, and I said no. He said it's because he doesn't want it to become a habit, something he says automatically--he wants it to be a conscious thing every time he says it. It made me smile.
I gushed on ML, now I'll gush here. I really, really like J. We had an awesome time yesterday. He's cute, and sweet, and funny. And considerate. He seems like a good father, and he's craaaaazy about his kid. He's made it pretty obvious that he's really into me, too. Part of me feels like I should be a little hesitant, but a bigger part of me wants to just jump in with both feet and enjoy it.

This isn't the guy you just broke up with right? Or I am confusing you with someone else?
No, this is a new guy. We knew each other in high school and he fb messaged me right after I broke things off with T.
It's SO much different than it was with T, and I realize now that I should have broken things off with T much sooner than I did.
I dressed up to go to the gyno because I work at home and like having an excuse to get dressed.
I'm freezing but don't want to turn on my heat.
I got irrationally annoyed when the gyno paperwork asked my marital status.
I'm afraid ill never meet someone. Now that I've been divorced for a year, I feel like the clock is ticking to find someone. I won't settle though, hence the premonition ill end up alone.
I've only been divorced six months, and I have had similar thoughts. It isn't so much that I'm afraid I will end up alone, it's just that I've had about 6-7 first dates and only one of those made it past the first round for a second date. And that didn't really go much further. I anticipate having a few less-serious relationships before I find my next long term deal, so just wondering when that will happen. I am sincere when I say I am not afraid to be single/on my own (I'll never "settle" just to have someone), but it would be nice to feel some "sparks" with someone.
And yes, it's only been 6 months, not that long, I know. But I can't help the thoughts that creep into my head!
I'm going to delete my Match profile tonight. I've been on it for almost a year and have only gone on one date from there (and it was the creepy overzealous guy).
I love watching trashy TV and will miss it when I have to get a job where I leave the house.
I'm probably going to decorate my house for Halloween this weekend....I should wait until it's October, but I'm just too excited to wait!

You can find a lot of trashy TV shows online. MTV puts all of their shows up, Bravo puts specific episodes up. I have DVR just for the trashy shows. Millionaire matchmaker marathon? Sign me up. Teen mom "after the show reunion"? I'm there! I am so ready for RHWoBH to come back. Beverly Hills is my favorite!

I have a ton of stuff to do at work right now. However, I'm burned (burnt?) out and am in desperate need of a new job. So, I'm hanging out on here this morning!
I should hear at the end of this week, or maybe next week about a position I applied for within the company I work for. Every limb in my body has been crossed for the last two weeks that I hopefully get some good news soon. If I didn't have bills, I would seriously contemplate walking right now because of how miserable I am in my position.
I have an appointment this afternoon for my second round of laser hair removal! Yay!

I'm so happy for everyone with the new relationship butterflies! They're fun!
And to those being pessimistic, while yes, some people do spend their lives alone, the majority of people who want to have a partner end up finding one. So don't give up just yet.
I've been feeling good since I went on a women's retreat this past weekend and really connected with some ladies. One in particular was a strong connection that I found someone that I could be really good friends with and she text me that she couldn't wait to see me again this Sunday.
I also got a very big compliment that I wasn't expecting to receive... a lot of the ladies mentioned that I have a very gentle spirit that reach out to them. (Little did they know I was filled with anxiety on the inside with regards to meeting new people).
I found out my cousin is working at a local haunted house with some of my friends. And apparently he mentioned that he was my cousin to one of them. Now I'm curious as to how he knew I knew them...
I had a shit night. Nothing major, but a lot of tiny little things that piled up and left me in a foul mood. I was bitching about it to Thor before I went to bed. At 9 p.m. Out of sheer frustration.
He bought me a box of animal crackers on his way home from work, to make me smile this morning. How silly and cute is that? It totally worked.

6 months is really not long at all. How long were you married for? I have been divorced and single/dating casually for about 2.5 years now. It's better to take your time and enjoy being single for awhile. It can be lots of fun actually and you learn a lot about yourself.[/quote]
I was married for 4 years, with my XH for 5 years before that (our divorce was mutual and amicable). I know, that makes it sound worse that I am whining about 6 months! Lol. I actually have been having fun - I just mentioned the other day to a friend that it's really nice to be able to do whatever I want whenever I want.
I think maybe I would be happy meeting someone I just felt enough attraction to that we could have a nice makeout session or 2.

I am addicted to Khloe and Lamar. I hate Kim K., but I LOOOOOVE Khloe. I think part of it is I am the youngest of 3 girls and I am the vulgar/honest one. LOVE it!

CFG is in the process of interviewing for a promotion. They are only considering 2 or 3 other people for the position. He'll be moving to LA in the next month if he gets it

I have been M.I.A.,
I just got back from a disney cruise with my Mom and 4 year old nephew, celebrated my 10 year would be wedding anniversay on the cruise, my nephew got hives and was terrified of the Disney characters. it was a Pixar cruise and John Lasseter was on the ship and I felt like he is up there in the Steve Jobs category, very impressive.
I got bumped in Long Beach on Sunday night and ended up there by myself, walked to a bar, met all sorts of randoms and had a great time.
Got an e-mail from my lawyer yesterday about someone she wants to set me up with, I replied can we please get my divorce finalized first, but I did look up the guy on FB and was impressed, a little too old though.
I have a lot of drama goign on with stbx. I couldn't sleep all night and have been a little scared lately. He's supposedly taking my dogs this weekend and I'm worried about living in my house alone with no pets for awhile.
I can't wait for counseling on Thursday!
I just registered for a yoga retreat in November and I'm super excited about and think it's exactly what I need right now in my life, yay!!
I offered to pick up XH from the airport next week when he gets back from FL so he can see A. He mentioned the 3 of us going out to dinner afterwards so I'm hoping that means he is paying.
