His response to my e-mail – More than a few times, I caught myself bringing up my ex and thinking “why the hell am I bringing HER up with someone that I might possibly propose to one day”?  Here’s my theory.  “The one” will simultaneously be (i) a confidante, (ii) a lover, and (iii) a [...]

Boundaries

Posted in The List, The Season of Sleeping Alone, dating, into the void, lesson learned on 01.11.2009 | 2 Comments »

When I opened this tab to start writing, I had something in mind. Something good. That thought’s left. I’ll see if I can’t get it back. I’ve been watching Love Actually. It’s about love. I’ve also been reading the articles over at Baggage Reclaim. There was something on Baggage Reclaim recently about boundaries. About letting [...]

The List Redux

Posted in The List, dating, lesson learned on 01.05.2009 | Leave a Comment »

I wrote this list almost a year ago and it’s made for some interesting inner dialogue when I found myself sitting across the table from a date. Namely, that I forgot to include some things: – positivity. This is so under-rated. I’ve listened to far too many men bitch about their ex-spouses and work and [...]

How I Would Do It

Posted in The List, dating, solo parenting on 01.04.2009 | Leave a Comment »

The Tree Hugger and I spent the day together yesterday. There was much talking. He is my favorite communicator at the moment. Gold star for him. One day soon I’ll have to ask him why it is that he and I didn’t end up together; why it is that he chose Girly over me; what [...]

Such Is Critter

These days he shows up to sit and mope. Which is why we did not date for long at all. I do not need anyone else that needs taking care of. Truth be told, I met him months before I physically departed from the house I shared with the Former Mister. Late May, to be [...]

Ahead of Myself

I don’t know how I’m supposed to do this. I’m not sure if I’m healed. That’s the word he used tonight. Healed. I thought I was healed. I had moments when I thought it would be alright and I could let myself be open to the possibilities. A man came along and he hurt me. [...]

Holding Back

Posted in The List, The Mook, dating on 09.12.2008 | Leave a Comment »

It was good. He was here and there was coffee drinking and sitting on the couch. Which led to snuggling. Which led to nakedness in bed. There’s not been sex. There has been talk about taking it slow. Today while chatting he made reference to how that may result in eons of moons and tides [...]

When It Rains, It Pours

Posted in The List, dating, sex on 09.04.2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’m not yet ready to blog about the work situation. I’m going with the ‘fuck it’ approach, with a smile on my face, because it’s really not worth it. My health? Worth it. My dedication to parenting? Worth it. It’s become less of a career and more of a job; it pays the bills and [...]

Thinking Too Much

Posted in The List, dating, more happy pills please, sex on 09.02.2008 | Leave a Comment »

I had a date the other day. It turned into a 26-hour date. He brought me hand-picked flower petals as compost for my garden and dog treats for the dog I had been taking care of. There was some kicking back at my place before touring the bars in my ‘hood (Mezzrow’s has the best [...]

Adventures in Dating, Part I

Posted in The List, dating, sex on 06.04.2008 | Leave a Comment »

So, since I blogged earlier about the many, many first dates I had, I figured it was only far to give some text to the ones who made it past the initial screening. Matt – A single dad that I met off of POF, we met for a drink in my area. Seems innocent enough, [...]
