If you happen to stumble across this blog it may not be of much interest to you... But, for those of you in my life wanting to keep up, the words below are plenty. This is a journey of my life this past year, a newly single mother trying to figure out how to live life to the fullest! In the beginning there was an attempt at daily posts, now I am lucky if I get my fingers on the keyboard every week! I write about life, living and all of the fun stuff in between. If and when I am lucky, I throw in a bit of love! Let me tell you I am experiencing it all, and relishing every bit of it! It all started in July of 2010... if you want to catch all of the good stuff from the beginning, you might want to start there first...

352 days to go...

Day 14 - I'm sitting here this morning eating apple pie for breakfast and borderline pouting. The question on my mind today is... do guys really ask girls out anymore? Seriously, my most recent male encounters I have initiated. Have I been off the market so long that the whole system has flipped? What's an honest, decent girl supposed to do to get noticed or asked on a date? It's overly easy to chat with someone online... The online guys are asking me to meet all the time, but why us it so difficult to get a live, breathing one that happens to be in the same room with you at the same time? Is online dating the only way relationships are created anymore?


I'm starting to think it's time I dust off my old Sex in the City episodes and take a few tips from the ladies... Wait weren't they single until their late 30's, early 40's? Crap...

354 days to go...

Day 12 - I have been told I'm not dating enough... uh random? I thought one adventure a week was plenty for this girl. I am trying to figure out the next step in this process. This may sound horrible but I don't have a lack of people asking me to meet them for a drink or coffee.. I just cant figure how to make myself take that leap. Mentally I am not there. In all honesty there is only one place I want to be, and we all know where that is! (shhhh its our little secret)

I have a date with my sister tomorrow, she is always fun and Long Beach definitely has a single scene. I guess I will have a run at it... round two! This time we are headed to a wine bar, complete opposite of last time..vampires and karaoke!

I am doing my best to get noticed, keep my spirits are up and always look good. I am sure that is a normal thing for most of you.. (Kaley excluded)! Hair is 98% always done, and I don't leave home without makeup! Being single is serious planning!

OK...back to responding to the emails available men! HA

Day 10 - I HATE MONDAYS!
More to follow after I have a bottle of wine and find something positive to say...

Day 9 - Inquiring minds want to know.... you know who you are!

Had a great weekend at the ranch. Birthday weekend with Curtie...and I was an only child, no siblings and no child of my own. The three of us had a really good time.

I guess I had my official first date. I really was trying to not let it turn into a date... but I think it did. He really wanted to come pick me up and finally settled on me meeting him somewhere and parking my car. We then headed off to a great dinner and late evening. This is a guy I went to high school with... we had very little interaction back then, other than he was the guy whose locker was above mine and occasionally whacked me in the head with his door. (Apparently I am a very forgiving person) He has done well for himself, graduated from college two years after we got out of high school, and thrust himself into an international career. Like I, he is recently divorced and somehow we reconnected on facebook and briefly chatted a few months back. Last week he noticed some posts I made on music, one of my interests, and ended up buying me a ticket to go see a band preform. The music was great but it all seemed a little weird to me. Music appears to be the only common ground. I guess I am just going to have to wait and see how this one rides itself out! Not sure I am ready to "date".

Its a new week starting in a few hours. Kayden will be away this week at the ranch. Curious to see what plans I come up with in my free time... Maybe I will see if my neighbor is back in town and not working at the station...!

358 days to go...

Day 8 - I headed north for the weekend solo... Its kind of nice up here just the adults. We had an incredible dinner last night for Curtis' birthday. My Mom and I looked ridiculously hot! Today I went offroading with Curtis on the bikes then headed to town for massages and manicures! I really love birthday weekends.

I have been home from Texas a week now. It has definitly been a busy and fulfilling week for me here. I do however I miss quite a few people back there. Some more than others... just kidding!

Tonight we are headed to dinner to celebrate my birthday. Another incredible meal is in my future.

My life is rapdily changing these days, who knows where I will be in a few weeks or months...

Day 7 - This was a CRAZY day... but not in the mood to go into too much detail. I made an attempt to meet a "friend" at Starbucks this morning but it apparently didn't work out. I went ahead and sat on the patio, ate my oatmeal and drank my macchiato. Sometimes just sitting there and people watching is entertainment enough.

I started an early morning chat with someone online... really rethinking this online stuff. I am not very into it, but I do find it humorous! I have mixed opinions. I don't consider myself a desperate person. I am friendly and outgoing, I just need an environment to meet people and preferably not just the "bar scene". I may give it another week and then nix it all together. I pretty much have my hands full as it is!
