Saturday night confessions
I would like some wine right now. I dont feel like going to the store. I want to ask my roommate to go out and get it for me, but (a)he is not my personal assistant (b)he is not a wine drinker and (c) we dont know eachother that well and I dont want him to think I am a freak.
I want to go on a date but I have no idea how to meet a guy and since I am married I dont know if anyone would actually want to go on a date with me.
f.k.a.= Derniermot
Re: Saturday night confessions
I have been enjoying WAY too much wine tonight.
Ferk wine. I'm a few drinks deep in vodka/cranberry. I'm bored as hell. I have nothing to do tonight.
I really want to have hook up with the last guy I talked about again.
ETA- Nest don't be such a buzzkill. You can take away the dirty words but why get your panties in a bunch and take our misspelled ones?
I agree, but that being said, my H and I havent had marital relations since early april of 2010. I miss feeling stuff.
So you're still married why...?
If we terminate the marriage I will lose health insurance benefits. We have a house. I am meeting with a real estate agent nest tuesday to see if we can get anything (post-bathroom reno). I am trying so hard to not have this kill my credit score. I did move out tho.
This may be flammable, but if you consider yourself "separated," and you are using dating sites (?), just make sure you put that you're separated on your profile. While I was separated, I had no problem with talking to guys. I think as long as you're open with that aspect of your relationship, you should be fine.
- I have been a little promiscuous lately and I'm feeling a little guilty about it. It was fun, but I am realizing that I need a little more than just sex.
- I deleted my account on OkCupid...I think that's part of the reason I'm only finding people for sex.
- My after-the-new-year resolution is to be better at meeting people in real life.
Last night STBX texted me that because I wouldn't agree to babysit so he could go out with this chick for her birthday she apparently 'has to do some thinking' about whether it would work with him or not due to his 'lack of free time'...
It took all i had not to text back a HUGE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He tried to say something today about it and I just said 'too bad, your time with the kids is YOUR time with the kids. If you want time off at night then get a babysitter' (of course then he complained about not having anyone he can trust to watch the kids blah blah blah but i just tuned him out and ended the conversation)
This....a lot....hell I'd take a random make out session at this point!
True that.
I made up a generic okcupid profile (no pic or info) to just browse and see what's out there. My city...nada. Austin, TX? HOLY HELL. There are like a hundred million single guys there in my age range. I need to move, quickly.
I don't date in the wintertime. Well, if I'm already seeing someone, I'll date, but I won't go out and seek new men in the winter. Reason 1, I effing hate the cold, hate wearing piles of clothes, and there's not as much to do as in summer. Reason 2, winter is HARD on my skin. Every winter, like clockwork, I break out like a teenager working in a grease pit. Doesn't matter what I do, my face hates winter, too. I feel so ugly from November to April.
I had a mini-breakdown in the car last night on the way home from work about being lonely and frustrated at where my life has gone and feeling doomed at where it's going.
Those are my 3 confessions. Who's got my wine?
I was just coming on to vent, so this is perfect...
1) I've had entirely too much wine today, but I'm going to go ahead and attribute that to the next entry(ies).
2) It's my birthday weekend, I tuned 32 yesterday - and while I feel really hopeful that 2012 is full of good things for me, I'm also disappointed that this is where my life is at 32... BLURG! I just want to be happy, I'm working towards that, but it feels so daunting!
2) One of my friends had her bridal shower today. It was lovely, and I'm so happy for her. I met her family, people laughed at my jokes, but it also just felt like a really odd day...
3) A friend of mine (who is 23, which cannot help the situation...) got engaged yesterday. Seriously? I know for a fact this girl is "saving herself for marriage" and the whole thing sounds like a hot mess to me.
4) I recently had a realization that my life is in this weird "bizarro" place where I used to be the "happy, settled down" friend who was in a relationship and had her sh!t together. NOW I'm the crazy single friend who's about to "start over" in her career and life in general, and I'm amongst friends who are all coupled up. WTF, universe???
I'm finishing up my last bit of wine before I go to bed. To the rest of you I am sending lots of these:
ETA: 5) Getting laid has been mentioned. So, AHEM, I'm chiming in. I HAVEN'T HAD SEX WITH A MAN IN A FULL YEAR! I didn't realize it til someone else brought it up, actually. This fact may even make me more depressed. ::le sigh:: Going to bed, I'll work on this problem tomorrow...
I am not dating right now. I dont really trust myself to be able to select an appropriate date. I doubt I would ever do online dating website thing. That is why I am somewhat confused as to how to meet men. lol.
