Tidbit Tuesday

Jakes and I had a great weekend.  Lots of fun stuff happened. Swimming, playing with friends, visiting with the Gparents and the dogs.

Jakes went for a job interview last week. Of course, just an entry level job at a local fast food place but HE decided to go there and get the application without letting anyone know he was going.  Good initiative!  He hasn't heard from the manager to know if he's been hired yet but I hope he gets it.  It might mean less time at my house but he's growing up and more independent.  He has to learn to fly.

Dad is doing everything he can to stay healthy enough to get chemo this week.  Fingers crossed that his blood work shows good results today!

We are going to start packing the RV for the 4th of July weekend.  Jakes is excited to help so we can go.  He loves the campground we are going to.  And there will be fireworks!

The garden is about to kick into high gear.  Tomatoes are changing colors, daily harvests of green beans and peas, zucchini's getting longer.  YUM!

There is nothing "new" in my life.  Just day by day.  Evenings are spent playing with the animals, making dinner, watering plants and reading on the deck until the mosquitoes chase me inside. 

I'm thinking I ready to plunge back into the dating world.  I have a friend who says I need to start my "stable".  :) but what to say on the profile?  "Single female seeks Cowboy?"  "Looking for someone to ride off into the sunset with." It'll come to me eventually, when the time is right.

That's about all that's going on in my life.  What's going on it yours?

Online Dating

I am lonely.  I am getting used to living alone again.  There are good and bad things to living alone.  I'm the only one to pick up after, unless you count the animals toys.  I can walk around naked if I want, as long as the windows are covered. I  don't have to worry about the toilet seat being left up, its just me after all. There is no one to argue with me that they don't like asparagus for dinner.

There are bad things about living alone.  Its quiet, unless the TV or radio is on. Very quiet.  There is no one to have a conversation with, no one to complain that my job is the most boring thing on the planet right now.  There is no one to argue with me over asparagus with dinner.

So I thought I'd put myself out there on a dating site.  It was an adventure.  Too funny.  There were lots of hits, I did have a good profile picture.  There was the guy who messaged me several times, getting to know each other, finally sharing our personal email addresses and full names, only to never be heard from again.  hmmmm makes me wonder what the internet has out there on me!  Maybe I'll google myself for fun.

Then there was the guy who immediately asked for my phone number because he didn't want to use the site.  Ok.  Let's be adventurous and give him a throw-away Google Voice number.  It'll be harder for him to stalk me if things go south.  So we start texting.  At the third text, he's asking me how long its been since I've.... you know.... ummm....well.... you get the picture.  BUT he insisted that he was looking for something long term, eventually.  He wanted to take the time to get to know me.  Then he suggested we meet THAT day for a RedBox movie and either of our homes.  Yeah, you're looking for a long term booty call.....  So I called him on that and never heard from him again.

At least I can have a laugh at them and still have hope that my prince is out there.  I'm taking a break from the dating site for now but I'm sure I will go back to it one day.  I will definitely share my adventures.
