Leaving someone special

In the midst of preparing to move out-of-state, I am also dealing with leaving a man who I have grown close to over the last year and a half. During our time together, I have realized that he is not the man for me, at least long-term. I have even tried to break up with […]

Breaking Up is Hard To Do

So far, this year, my 50th year on this earth, has been interesting. I started out the year officially divorced after 23 years of marriage. My house became MY house officially. Last night, after 1 year, my first real relationship, after my divorce, has come to an end. It’s sad but it had to be […]

Dancing…

I am currently out watching a band perform. I am currently dating the guitar player in this band. The gig is taking place at a Moose lodge and there are about 50 people here listening and dancing. Needless to say, I am the youngest person here but I don’t mind. I am loving watching the […]

9/15 is nothing special now

I didn’t even realize today’s date until I was wishing someone a happy birthday online. Today would have been my 24th wedding anniversary, but instead, its the tail end of my divorce. I am still waiting for to see the final papers with his signatures. I cant believe how fast time has gone, but how […]

Back into dating

On the dating front, I met someone this week. He is really different then the handful of guys I have met so far. As scared as I was about the dating scene, I must say, it has gotten easier and I feel more comfortable going out on dates. You just have to relax and have […]

Making it work

I haven’t written anything in a little while. Nothing too exciting has happened recently. I am still waiting for HIM sign the last settlement agreement, then sign over the deed so I can get the house in my name. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?????? I hate that parts of my life are on hold and […]

2 little updates

I haven’t written in a while, not too much to write about. But I am back this week because of 2 things; The first is the legal process still drags on, with the other side still requesting ridiculous things. But what I have learned, per my lawyer, is that is all posturing. They are trying […]

Pets and divorce

Still going through the divorce process, 10 months now, and my lawyer called me today. He recently received a letter from “the other side” that claims that “he” now wants the dogs. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? After everything you did to me and now you want to take the dogs??? He is claiming that they […]

Tears

I admit that I am a pretty emotional person, so much so that I can even cry during some commercials, depending on the subject. You know… those specific beer commercials they show during the Superbowl for example? If I see someone crying, I cry too. So of course, I have cried plenty of tears since […]

In the company of my pets

Thank god for my pets, especially now that I am alone, (I don’t have any children). They really keep me company. I have a 10 year old Shepperd mix that was rescued as a pup, a 6 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback, acquired as a pup from a breeder and a 10 year old calico cat […]
