I am really enjoying the single woman book I've been reading "I've never been to Vegas but my luggage has" because
A) it's making me realize that I need to embrace/enjoy the memories I'm making now because someday I'll probably get remarried and long for my carefree days of single hood where I did whatever I wanted.
B) finding love sing even something that's up to me. Even though I'm not particularly religious I feel like I'm leaving it up to a higher power and it's not going to happen on "my time". It's a huge relief to not try to control it
C) I realize that I'm not the typical person who is satisfied with an average 9-5 job that I feel mediocre about longed to just marry my hs sweetheart and drive around 2.5 kids in a minivan. I have huge aspirations/expectations for myself and my career and life. Therefore I'm not going to be satisfied with the status quo when it comes to a guy.
Not really a flameful but want to share and not sure where else to put it....after 6 years my diamond ring finally fits again. My fingers puffed up when I was pregnant 6 years ago and then I never did get back to my pre-baby weight so my ring has never fit. Never did get it resized, I bought a cheap plain band that fit. Fast forward to now when I am almost back to pre-baby weight. Came across my ring while digging through some documents (it had been in safekeeping from when we went on a vacation) and now the damn thing fits.

Oh I just ate the shit out of one of those doughnut hole plastic things you get at UDF or wherever. I feel like the most flameful part of this is the fact that they were gas station doughnuts and not something special and fancy.

@pdx18: to be clear I'm liking the "totally worth it" part of your post.
Ha! Totally. I learned about marionberry vodka last night. It's AMAZING. It's not like the typical vodka's that have flavorings added. It's more like a juice. Gah! So good, but dangerous

I am incredibly ambitious and want big things for my life. I want both monetary success and a life filled with fun and adventure. I am not looking for someone to provide those things for me. I do them on my own. But someone who will be a part of my life in a major way or long term way absolutely has to want and have those things.
I am thinking of calling it quits with ginger if he can't find a way to make more time for me. I'm not hurt by him or anything but I hate never having time together. I am conflicted about it though because a) it's the best sex I've ever had b) he isn't stopping me from seeing anyone else- and I'm not in love so it's not like I am pining for him c) he is really fun and easy to be with. So why am I making it such an issue that we only have time every few weeks. Idk. I feel like the only thing he is lacking is time for me and why would I throw away what's good? Like just because I can't eat ice cream every day why should I give it up for always? Idk. Him being able to make time for me in the next couple of weeks will make a difference.
I'd probably feel the same way as you. I don't really like dating if I don't think it's going anywhere. That's just my preference though because I'd rather focus on other things. Plus people who always act too busy annoy the shit out of me. Were all busy, you make time for what you want!
If I had access to doughnuts right now, I would eat the shit out of them--all of them. Except jelly or custard filled, those are nasty.
I will admit that I like a good custard donut. I don't eat donuts very often but they are one of my favorite kinds. I also like a good custard-filled eclair or a maple donut filled with maple cream.
I'm not wild about cake donuts personally. Glazed? Hell yeah, but cake? Not really.

OMG-I know EXACTLY what you're talking about and they're vodka is like nothing I've ever had. SO GOOD...and yes, it's dangerous! (but luckily expensive, so that means I didn't want to buy it and keep it at the house!)

I have a flameful: My exH is currently at my house unsupervised to pick up the rest of his stuff. We've only been divorced for OVER a year, but it has been housed in one of my spare bedroom closets. I need to remind him to leave his key when he leaves. I trust him and I know that he won't do anything he shouldn't do. Part of me is sad for my (our) dog. He hasn't seen him in about a year. I wonder what his reaction will be.
I've been having non-stop dreams about N this week. In a way, I totally wish they would stop because it really sucks to wake up afterwards...but, I also don't want them to stop either...which makes me feel all kinds of pathetic and crazy.
