Sometimes having foresight, and planning ahead gets me into trouble.

Your mind works like mine LOL :)

Courtship
 

Seeking courtship. Seeking advice and conversation about courtship in *our* community.

I am in my early 30s and ready for a real and meaningful relationship that will last. Of course! Or not, depending on what you desire. What I wonder is... where I can I find that elusive courtship?

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!

Alarm Kat (I call him this because without fail he wakes me at 4:45 a.m. every day, never a second late....NEVER) he has a little routine, he eats a forkful of canned fancy feast (actually, he eats half of that, saves half)
then likes to go hide in the flower bed in the front yard for about ten minutes. He's a fraidy kat, so he has to do this in darkness.

I opened the door and walked him over to the flower bed (he likes the assurance no other criitters are around/ remember 'fraidy cat) and the heat just smacked me in the face...it's punishing at 5 a.m.

I'm ready for a road trip. I'm wondering how long it would take me to drive to ALASKA (heat is getting to my brain :seeingstars:) I went out to get him, and it was too hot for him, he was at the door....ran in and went right to the remainder of his fancy feast. Now he is laying on the floor vent sucking up all of the a/c . Maybe he'd like to go to Alaska too. There is no relief.

Getting back in the gym this morning after a week off from my concussion. I SOOO need this workout this morning. The anticipation of sweat, pain and total focus is enormous right now. I didn't realize I would miss it like this. Back to the conditioning and polishing of my skills with the hope of fighting in October. YES!!! I am getting back in the ring to fight!

I haven't shook off the saddness surrounding Amy Winehouses' death. Her struggles, the media mockery sickened me. Her familys' loss has saddened me. Her followers today, will not realize what she contributed to the music world for many years. Much like Janis Joplin. I spent most of yesterday listening to Janis, on vinyl albums.

I'd like to dedicate this song to Amy, written as if Janis was singing it to her. The lyrics appear beneath the video, if you are not familiar with this song.

Whats on your mind
 

I have a lot on my mind. Its funny how full of themselves someone can be. I guess some people need attention to feel better about themselves. I not full of myself and i dont need attention. Just saying.

First and foremost, be yourself!

I'm thinkin' that even though its raining and I'm sitting at the Midas shop, I absolutely adore New Orleans.

Changes... sooo many changes.

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.

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!

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).
