magical age..

I sometimes wonder if there is a magical age that we reach that suddenly we will know the right choices to make.

If so I hope it is 32!

Le Taha'a

I was supposed to go to Le Taha'a. I was promised Le Taha'a. I held up my end of the deal but once again I did not get Le Taha'a in the end. As I sit and watch Le Taha'a now..I am thankful...because when I go to Le Taha'a it will be with my one TRUE love!

hide away...

There are many days when I wish that I could just crawl under a rock or into a cave and not come out until I am feeling ok. Definition of "ok" is still up for debate!

Appropriately enough today Aneesa decided that she wanted to build a fort in our living room but she did not know how! So being the wonderful mom that I am...lol...I built her the perfect fort.

Not knowing that I was building a fortress of work!! I was informed that there is a spot in the back of the fort for laundry...which I am to pick up and wash...there is a spot for her drinks...which I am to pick up and replenish.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all had a fort...to do crafts in...sleep in...leave our laundry in...and be served in.

Ben Harper - Forever

How appropriate that I hear this song while I am preparing for a date!! :) Patience...slow and steady wins the race...right?

So I had a brief break in the dating world because of my fabulous family reunion! It was so good to see everyone and even more wonderful to have my Aunt Laurie stay here at my house with her family. I love my family...and truly believe they are the best!!

Well I have hit the week back into the dating world hard...Tuesday was date #2 with the first and only guy I have been out with. The night was perfect...but our conversation had me thinking a lot about how I always tend to put all my eggs in one basket right away with guys. I really should date several and then narrow it down...but I don't! I honestly suck at dating.

So as the week went on I decided to really open myself up and consider going out with another guy that had been contacting me. After several conversations he asked what I was looking for. I responded by saying that I was looking for someone that would be my best friend...that I could eventually spend the rest of my life with. He responded by saying that he was looking for something significantly less serious. He then proceeded to inform me that he was looking for a friend with benefits. Well...nothing like being straight forward!! I informed him that I was looking for more of a commitment before I started handing out benefits! That was then end of that!

So that leads me to date #3 with the original. I don't know that I can say I know a good thing when I see it...because that has not proven to always work for me. But for now I like what I see. And when I really think about it...if I am looking for the rest of my life partner...I am hoping that I have a lot of time to get it right!!
