Introduction

This blog is about my life as a single woman who doesn’t want to stay single.  There is so much written by MEN – and what the hell do they know - about the bitter single woman that I want to have my say.  And I have a lot to say.  (I have been told I talk too much.) 

Who am I?

I’m a single 38-year-old, child-free woman looking for love…and Love (more on that later).  My friends would describe me as loyal, generous, funny, and kind.  Smart too.  All true.  I’m kinda cute.  I have an alter ego and theme music when she is around (can’t tell you about that until we are tight, sorry).  I love to read and eat. I am romantic.  I could say that I love long walks down the beach but I’d be lying…I have bad knees and bad feet.  I would have to soak and ice myself and that is definitely not romantic. (Plus, Icy Hot does not smell good.) I love to laugh and make others laugh.  I am sort of a “sit-down” comedienne.  I love to dance and sing…only one of which you want me to do in public.  (Take a guess!)  I want to be married and have children, as many as God has in store for me.  I look forward to being a wife and mother. I am successful in my chosen career and expect to contribute to the finances of the household. 

I’ve love, Loved, and been in love.  I’ve been happy.  I’ve been hurt.  My love has been well-received and reciprocated; it has also been thrown in my face.  My heart has been well-tended, treated gently and broken…just like yours.  In fact, I am just like you.

I am you, your sister, your friend, your ex-girlfriend….To see me is to see yourself or some woman you love.  Don’t be afraid!  You don’t have to tell anybody when your toes get stepped on! (smile)

Don’t get me wrong, I AM definitely looking for a man…or looking to be found by one…

Yes, I am but HE is not the topic, I am, so let’s skip that for now.  I’m sure I’ll get back to “him” and his predecessors.

I am opening myself up – being transparent - so who knows what I might actually say once I get started.  Over the course of this adventure, you will get to know me…what I think and how I feel and what I dream and what I hope and what I pray for and what I fantasize about and what makes me tick and what makes me happy and what pisses me off and what makes me sad and what makes me feel guilty and what makes me feel optimistic…

Regardless of my current situation, I AM optimistic. 

Can’t wait to share it all with you.  Hope you stick with me.  If you like it, tell somebody.

    But you know me...I'll probably get over it quickly. :)
