So I guess it is time

I know it has been a while since I have posted.  I will try to do better.  This blog I am going to use to work through some issues.  So please forgive the maudlin tone of this one.  Let's see.  The guy I was dating that seemed normal, knocked me up and then disappeared.  NO call, no show. So I guess he is fired from the boyfriend position.  Then, I had a miscarriage.  My Thanksgiving break has consisted of a D&C an many, many tears.  Hopefully soon I can find my happiness again.  We will see.  Man, I really loved that baby.  I was/am ready to be a mom.  Here is what makes me angry, these people who have kids and throw them away or mistreat them.  Do they not understand what a true blessing that kids are?  Maybe one day I will see the sense in all of that.  I also don't understand how teenagers can just look at the opposite sex and pop out a kid.  Ok.  I know I am whining and feeling sorry for myself.  I will jump back on the dating horse soon and I am sure that I will have some lovely stories for my friends.  That's it for now.  More ranting to come soon.

OK already!!!

OK! I know it has been a long time since I posted a blog, but I haven't had much to write about, but boy has life kicked into first gear.  Let's start with Friday night.  I had a date with a great guy.  ( I know, I hear the groans now.)  My friends are upset, because my date was NOT a toothless wonder or storm trooper or anything else.  They live for the 'unusual' date.  One even volunteered to chaperon, so she could see a freak in person.  I live for the normal date.  However, Friday night's date was better than normal.  This guy was darn near perfect.  He was sweet, a gentleman, and wonderful.  He made me laugh and he kisses well.  We went to dinner, a movie and a walk down the pier.  It was perfect. 
This weekend was also my mom's birthday.  Have I mentioned lately how wonderful my mother is?   I was raised by a strong, confident woman who always did what was best for her kids.  My mother taught me how to be an  independent, confident, strong woman.  I could never be as wonderful as her, but I try.  She taught me compassion and to stand up for what I know is right.  You should be jealous, my mom is wonderful!
Ok.  That is all I have tonight.  Have a good one. 

It's me again, Margaret!!

OK.  I haven't had a date in awhile, but you people are on me to post again.  So here I go.  What is bugging me today?  Not much, it is a holiday weekend.  Woo Hoo!!! So what is the significance of today's title?  Easy, if you are a fan of Ray Stevens.  Have you ever met the creepy guy.  You know the ones.  Before they even meet you for dinner, (you know when you are getting to know each other better on the phone or email) and they say things like, "I can't wait to ______ with you."  You can fill in the blank with almost anything and it will be creepy.  The only acceptable word(s) in the blank are "talk" or "meet."  Sadly, these are not the words you usually get.  Who in the heck do these guys think they are?  These are the men you see wanted on the news.  Really do you think those lines ever work on a lady?  If it does then that's no lady responding to those lines.  I also enjoy it when you tell them they are being inappropriate and they get angry.  Really?  You are going to say things like that and get mad when I say see ya?  What a jerk.  I also love the guys who profess love to you before you have had a chance to get to know him. 

So in the immortal words of Ray Stevens, "That's why they call him the creep."  If your not a fan, I recommend you listen to this song.  It is a classic. 

I know this blog is not as quippy as my others, my sense of humor will be back next time.  Have fun.

Gentle reminders

OK.  So yesterday I wrote my first blog.  Today some of my "friends" gently reminded me of a few wonderful dates I did not mention.  Like the married guys.  Relax I didn't know they were married at the time.  However, looking back, I should have. 

Married guy # 1 was at the begining of my dating adventures.  We went out several times  and he was a nice guy. 
Married guy #2 was this summer.  I thought he was a nice guy, turned out he was a lying jerk.  Live and learn..right??? 

The other "date" I was reminded of was the Valentine's Day Creep.  He was two years ago on Valentine's Day.  19 minutes into the date I went to the restroom and called my local librian to liberate me.  26 minutes into the date, I received a phone call stating my grandmother was rushed to the hospital.  (Remember, this is my escape plan.  Both grandmothers died years ago.)  5 minutes after I left this hunk of burning love, he texted me with some suggestions that would make a dancer in Vegas blush!!!!  Let's just say his number and emails were permantly block FOREVER.  He didn't even ask about Grandma.  Just had some suggestions on how we could celebrate Valentiene's Day later. It was not lady like or legal in some states!!  I declined/ignored his later invitations.

I am sure there will be more reminders of the fine young gentlemen that I have forgotten to mention.  And hopefully, I will get another date soon.  I pray for a normal, nice guy, aka...Mr. Right.  My friends pray for Mr. Crazy Pants, so they will have a reason to laugh. Over the past two years I have met my share of Mr. Crazy Pants, there are tons of them out there.  I figure eventually I will run out of the weird ones and start meeting semi normal guys.  Heres to eternal optimism. 

Have a great night.  I hope you enjoyed this one.   

Hello

Hi.  Here is the deal.  I am 38 years old and I am looking for a husband.  This blog is dedicated to helping me describe the craziness that is my life as I search for a semi-perfect man.  Trust me there are some crazies out there. 

Let's start with storm trooper.  I met storm trooper through a dating web site.  We talked on the phone and he seemed relatively normal.  Boy was I wrong.  We met at a coffee shop and whoa....he showed up in a custom made storm trooper outfit.  There he was, head to toe molded white plastic.  Needless to say, my grandmother died, again that night.  (Let me explain, every time I go out with a guy, I have an emergency phone call 30 minutes into the date.  If it is a good date I ignore the phone.  IF it isn't going well, grandma dies, AGAIN.)  Grandma has died often in this quest for love. 

Next came man who didn't like to work.  I actually fell in love with this guy, but he refused to get a job.  After a year, we called it quits. 

Then came the toothless wonder.  I met him and he was lacking front teeth.  Now it is my opinion that if you are missing ANY body part, you should declare that early in the getting to know you process.  You should tell your prospective date BEFORE you go out.  I did have a complete date with him.  He was a nice guy, but a girl has to have standards.

Next came the healer.  The healer was interesting.  He believed in a higher power, but not in God or Jesus Christ.  Now I am not the most religious person in the world, but as a fine Southern Girl, you have to believe in God and Jesus.  Not believing in them is tantamount to not following the Dallas Cowboys!! It is unheard of. 

There were many dates in between all of these men.  But the above men are just highlights of the past 2 years of my dating life.  Now I have started this blog and more details will follow. 

Thanks for reading.
