    I never thought that I would feel so totally alone re-entering the dating world.  All of my friends are married, and have been married for quite a while.  I feel like I'm finally ready to start dating again, and it's a whole new world from when I dated last, which was in 2003 when xH and I started dating.  8 years is a long time to not date, the rules have changed apparently.  I am baffled that anyone would ask you out by text.  Or annouce that they are an leg and @ss man, and they like sex several times a week without even meeting you.  Is this what I have to deal with now?

     

     

    The text part, I'd be ok with.  The other parts, um...no.  Who is this guy?

    ditto.

    Someone I WAS communicating with on eharmony.  I swear between the guy asking me what kind of panties I wear and this guys annoucing his sexual appetite I might have to switch to match.com

    What.the.hell?  Wow. 

    Can you report them? That's just... creepy. lol

    I have already reported the panty guy (as I call him), and I guess I will be reporting the other guy now too.  The panty guy got kicked off.  Yes

  • My mom called me AT WORK in a panic because she heard from someone who heard from someone that Ronnie Dunn (from Brooks and Dunn) died in a car crash and could I please look it up on the computer to let her know if it was true.

    I told her that it was actually Ryan Dunn from MTV's Jackass and to please not call me at work unless someone from OUR family had died. 

    Oh parents! :-|

  • Party!!! AF showed up, so weird to be happy to see her.  Time to start clomid.  Bonus points, I get to drink tequila this weekend.

    Not happy to open my make-up pouch & realize my tampon came unwrapped.  Guess I will be heading straight home instead of running errands Hmm

  • I sent MIL pics of DH's baptism. She said how she wished she could have been there and how much it meant to her. It bugs me because we invited her to A's baptism and she said no thanks, and something about how "sprinkling" doesn't mean much to her. I know other religions call it sprinkling but catholics don't (she knows that) and she said it in a dismissive way. It's really bugging me that she's so annoyed by my beliefs. She was downright fearful when we got married in the catholic church. We support her beliefs, I even welcomed her to talk to Addie about them when she's older.

    That is so rude.  I would be miffed.

    It's sad that she's fearful of your beliefs.  It's sadder still that she didn't realize how much it would have meant to you guys for her to come to A's baptism.  She sounds like a difficult MIL and I'm sorry you have to deal with her.

    No kidding, but sadly I have already heard similar rumblings from my MIL.

  • I am sooo tired.  It wasn't even a big party weekend in Key West either since we had E with us.  Part of being so tired is that I slept like crap due to DH's ridiculous snoring.  I refuse to stay in another hotel room with him until he does something about it.

  • Lately I've been surfing the internet on my phone, but since I'm at home right now and both kids are asleep (!!!) I'm using my laptop. It's made me realize how much I depend on autocorrect when I type. My computer doesn't correct things for me and I've never seen so many typos.

  • Avery and Joseph were singing Rain, Rain, Go Away on the way to daycare this morning.  I almost disowned them.

     

  • I made mashed potatoes and gravy last night (which I am excellent at making but don't really care for) for the first time in years because DD got her braces.  I thought DH was going to make himself sick on them.

    He asked if we could take her to have them tightened weekly so I would make them all the time.  Not gonna happen buddy.

    Old-school video game music is INCREDIBLY annoying. How did our parents put up with it?

    I don't know - maybe I would prefer that over the machine gun and blood spattering sounds from the current games!  lol.

    Two words. Turtle Beach.  Get him some.

    I had to google this. lol.  Good call!  Although, my DH isn't a gamer, so I don't need to worry about it - I just assume the newer games are blood and guts noises.  blech.

    How is she doing with the new braces?

    She is doing great.  She says they don't hurt too much at all.  Advil helps a lot.

    I on the other hand am not handling well the realization that my girls are beautiful young women now.  It's scary. :)

    LOL, Rena loves to sing that anytime it rains! Last time it sprinkled I told her we shouldn't sing that song since our grass would be very happy to get some rain. Yesterday it rained when she was at school so she told her teacher "I can't sing Rain, Rain, Go Away or my grass will get very sad". :)

    Charlotte was doing the same thing this morning, even though she was actually excited that it was raining.  I looked at her like she had three heads.  No ma'am, we do NOT want the rain, rain to go away.  And then when I told her that we WANTED it, she said "Oh, I'm just singing it, mama" or some excuse like that.
