My actions might be part of the problem. I'm not saying I'm a second date UHaul grrl, but I am looking for LTR. In doing so, I have find myself dating in rapid-fire succession. Sort of. I also have a tendency I'm not proud of - of becoming physically intimate with my dates very early on. I do think that's part of the problem.

Okay... so how do I attract a suitor/someone who will court me?

Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

First and foremost, be yourself!

Packing and more packing, going through clothes and blankets and sheets and shoes, going to give them to service of the blind here in everett.... bella and her losing her hair from the fleas, I will be thankful to be in the desert again where there is no fleas.

It annoys me when clients don't listen to me. Bedtime is 11pm but since it is the first night for both clients and they were bonding well, I told them they could sit up "a little longer" to finish their conversation. It's after 1:30a and they show no signs of letting up, despite my "hinting". I really don't want to be all harsh to them because of their situations, but damn...I'm starting to get tired and they are yacking in the common room on the couch I normally sleep on. LOL

Plus, I don't like when folks take advantage when I bend the rules for them. That's why I am normally not a rule bender. (Even though I was the one who made the rule.) I guarantee tomorrow night they will be in bed on time.

Massive · 07-27-2011, 08:22 PM

How incredibly lucky I am to have found Bells, my friend, soul mate, lover, confidant, life partner, wife (when I move over the pond

), my baby girl and my Momma...
The only thing that will make my life complete is moving over the pond to spend the rest of our lives together.

Inked_Trinity · 07-28-2011, 10:20 AM

My jaw is still on the ground after a visit from my OPS manager. Seems he has recommended me to replace him when he takes a new position. I'm just ......WOW!

JustLovelyJenn · 07-28-2011, 11:47 AM

I had an epiphany...

I am still letting who is in my life determine what it will be... SILLY ME!!! My life will be exactly what I make it... and I AM IN CHARGE OF WHO I LET IN IT.

SO, new game plan.

Letting in some people that maybe should have had a bigger role all along, cleaning out a few who have had way to much control over my emotions (this includes family members).

SomethingBeautiful · 07-28-2011, 11:48 AM

I completely agree. Sometimes clarity and reorganizing can lift the mist from your path. It's a daily work in progress for myself, and sometimes it may seem like an uphill battle, but we will both get there. *Smiles*

JustLovelyJenn · 07-28-2011, 07:50 PM

Sometimes people come to me... for advice. Not because I have so much experience or so much wisdom, but because I have an ability to feel what someone needs to hear and say it so they will listen. I am a diviner.... at least this is the term I use.... others call me a seer, a fortune teller, a card reader... But, what I do is look into others and help them see what they already know but can not accept. Sometimes I am given help, guidance... sure, occasionally I foresee an outcome... and not always favorable... but never do I give them more information then they need. Fate lets us make our own choice. Today as a friend came to me for just such a reason, I was given insight for myself as well...

Life is short, and chances are not endless. No matter how many false starts you have attempted, you can not sit and wait before you step again. While fate will adjust to your decisions as needed for a time, one day, it will just pass you by. You must let go of the past, and be prepared to adjust your direction when the path curves. As a good friend of mine says often. A door never closes before the window is open.... They are right, it is the breeze from the window that sometimes causes the door to slam.

And for me, I think... I am ready, rope in hand, to climb out the window and see what The Fates have left me.

SnackTime · 07-28-2011, 09:29 PM

My family and extended family as we say goodbye to my great uncle who was a Marine veteran and retired police officer. He will be missed but NEVER forgotten.

JakeTulane · 07-29-2011, 11:23 AM

Camping trips. Tis the season. The temps are going down. It is time to plan some soon and to plan for the beginning of next year.. say June. I love to camp. Love it.

SomethingBeautiful · 07-29-2011, 12:06 PM

Up until yesterday there was a lot on my mind. Never really leaving, but floating around enough to be obnixious. Then I just shut it off. I made peace with myself and I started to let go. Somebody once said my mind was like a museum. So, like most museums, I got rid of the travelling exhibits and made room for a new showcase

Now I can sit back, relax, play my music and see where my path takes me next. I know it won't all be easy, but I can enjoy the ride!

PinkieLee · 07-29-2011, 12:24 PM

What's on my mind...

Wishing I had a pair of socks at work! I got caught in a downpour at lunch, while wearing flip flops. Now my feet are cold & my shoes are soaking wet!
