Testing

First off I remembered a couple of the other movies I watched:

1. Friends with Money...It was good. Ok I guess is more like it.

2. The Holiday...LOVED this one...I could watch it over and over and over again.

I started watching the Party of Five DVDs and can't stop! They're just too good! I also rented The Last King of Scotland, The Devil Wears Prada, and One Night with the King...I'll let you know how that goes.

In trying to "get better" and progress I've been doing a little self exploration in order to find out who I am, where I'm going, and to just basically get so that I love myself. Part of that is working on why I'm such a mess with relationships.

A little while before I met JC I was talking to Ray Ray the Killer about what I was looking for in a guy. He asked and I responded, "Someone who lives on his own, can do his own laundry, and can balance his own checkbook." Ray Ray said, "That's it?" And, yea...that was it...I had had much less before that. So, I met JC...he lived on his own, could do his own laundry, including iron, and he didn't have a checking account, so he didn't need to balance his checkbook. I found everything I had been looking for...literally. But...what was I thinking? Yes...this was a step above what I had had before that...but now I think I know a little more about what I want...

1. Someone who doesn't live at home with his parent's.
2. Someone who can do their own laundry.
3. Someone who can balance his own checkbook
4. Someone who has a car.
5. Someone who works normal hours...and likes working...but not too much.
6. Someone who likes to get up early on the weekends...at least on Saturday...and maybe lay around on Sundays.
7. Someone who likes to get up and get coffee and bagels and read the paper
8. Someone who loves his own family and wants to have a family
9. Someone with devotion
10. Someone who is unfailingly honest
11. Someone who likes to communicate and have conversations
12. Someone who likes to be silly and laugh

I have to think of some more...I wasn't prepared enough...I run over to my parent's to use the computer and then I forget everything! I may be asking for too much now...but I don't think I've set the bar too high...But at least I'm getting together that list of things I'm looking for instead of just saying...as long as you don't live with your parent's I'll take you...even though that person could be failing at everything else in his life.

Your list just described my husband!! :) I did the same thing, made a list after my divorce. And you know what? IT WORKED. I didn't date guys that didn't meet the criteria--didn't even DATE them! When Chuck and I met he hit every bullet on my list-we were engaged in 6 monhts and married within 11 months of our meeting. People thought we moved too fast-but he was EVERYTHING I ever wanted in a man....why wait? This is a great list Liz (but you need to add, "loves my daughter"...) :)

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
