Just Another Bend In Journey of Life
Wednesday, September 21, 2005
Ok, so I'm a total slacker, I haven't been on here in a while even after I PROMISED myself I would keep it up. If not every day, at least every other day. I have no idea what's happened in between then and now... So I guess I'll just ramble on about what's going through my mind today.
My daughter is in kindergarten and is loving every single minute of it. Or so she tells me anyway. She's meeting a ton of new friends and loves her teacher. WHEW! Thank God! At least she's not coming home every night crying that she doesn't want to go back to school like some of my friends children have been doing! She has gotten her name on the board. Once, which was last Thursday, so I had to sit her down and explain what would happen if it happened again. Hopefully she gets it! Last Wednesday afternoon I was sitting at work and had gotten a phone call from another classmates mom, she was just trembling said that she'd picked up her daughter after school and she was crying and had gotten her name on the board wtih a check after it. Well then she broke the news... Kassidy had cut Stella's hair!!! I think my heart stopped beating for a brief few seconds after she told me that it was about 4 inches... and that the teacher had told her that it wasn't noticable but she was sending a note home with Stella. I just started laughing, I mean, it's only hair!!! She didn't poke her eye out or cut off a finger. Physically she was ok so no big deal. They're kids and they do those sort of things. It's not in the middle of her forehead or anything so no harm done at all. I understand that some parents, especially the mothers, might be upset by hearing something like that but it's only hair and it will grow back. And believe me, Stella has enough to go around!!!!
Anyway.... I decided to put myself back on the market again. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I listed myself on match.com again. Why? Well, because I guess I know that I'm never going to find anyone with while here or that's not into the game playing etc, so why not find someone that is looking for the same thing that you are? Seems logical. I guess it just seems weird because that's almost unheard of here. Well, I'll tell you, I'm sure not going to run into the man of my dreams in the laundry mat or bump carts in the produce section of the grocery store. Just doesn't happen in my town like it does in the movies. Anyway, I'd attempted the internet dating thing a few months back. Met a couple of nice men, well they were nice at the time. Both of them actually turned out to be lying losers. Why I'm trying it again? No clue. I'm nuts! Anyway, very rarely do I ever contact someone myself. I normally sit back and wait to hear from them to see what they have to say. If they can't spell or it doesn't seem like they've graduated high school I don't even bother. I mean, most pc's have spell check don't they?! Laziness. Ok, so I've chatted with a couple via email or messenger and found one that I was really interested in, only after talking to him on the phone, realized that he was a bit possesive and the jealous type. We actually kind of got into it on the phone. I finally hung up after having a WTF?! moment and he emailed me again the next day and I just told him what I thought. I just can't deal with someone like that. I'm so far from being that person it's not even funny. I'm just way too independant to live under someone's thumb. Almost did that w/ Stella's dad and look where that got him! Ok, so about a week ago I got a message from another guy. No pic with this one either. Of course I like to see what they look like, I hate to be shallow but they may be 30 years old with a great personality but have no hair, teeth, no hygiene skills and look 80. Never know these days. Well, I gave this guy the benefit, didn't even ask him for a pic. Just really enjoyed chatting back and forth with him. I found him very interesting. Of course I did have some reservations as his profile says that he's "currently seperated". Hmmmm, with my track record I tend to stay away from them 'cause it can never be good. They're either looking for someone to pass the time, pretending they're "seperated", or looking for a rebound. Not that I know this for a fact, it's all pure assumption. Well, he was going to visit a friend out of town and told me that he was going to have his friend take a picture and email it to me. He said that he has been told he looks like Patrick Swayze. Interesting. So of course I emailed him back and asked if he had small squinty eyes and a big nose to which he replied that he did. Oh boy! Expecially with how I am with noses! This can't be good! I got the pic and he's really not bad. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't it. He's no Enrique Iglasias but I was pleasantly surprised. We've chatted for the past couple of nights for about 4 hours each night. He's asked to meet me for dinner in 2 weeks and I actually find myself wanting to go! He has such a great personality and seems very warm, caring and honest. Three things I never find. Or you get one but not the others. He has explained his situation to me and it "seems" that he has been truthful so far so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt until he gives me a reason not to. It only seems fair. So I'm going to do my magic and see what I can do to meet up with this fella and see how things go. I mean, once we meet we may decide that we just don't like each other. :) I dont think that that is going to happen but you just never know. He might be a pig when he eats or something. Who knows!? Only time will tell. But as of right now I am keeping my fingers crossed.
