No longer MIA

Hey Peeps,

I been gone for about 2 weeks. Two major things have happened: 1) I started a new job (after unemployed for a month and a half) and 2) I started seeing someone. No worries. These two things will not take me off my journey. They are little accents to it.

Let's talk first about the first thing. I interviewed for this position almost 2 months ago. It's an A/P Clerk position. I did this same duties 5 years ago. I liked it then and I'm sure that I will like it now. I just completed my first week this past Friday. The good thing about this week is that I started with 7 other newbies. The bad thing is that I started with 7 other newbies. LOL. Everyone is very nice and we all started at the same time. I'm looking forward to the possibilities and a long relationship.

The second thing is the dating. Let me say this: I haven't given up on dating. I was giving up finding a sane dude that said what he meant and meant what he says. I'm a real woman. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it), I'm also a woman who had a sheltering momma and got married really young.With that said, I don't know how to date. I know what I want in a dude and I know how I want him to treat me. I have made some major mistakes since my divorce. One of which is thinking all men are like my ex husband. SO NOT TRUE. My ex was man who treated a woman with the utmost respect. It seems men like him are a rare breed. LOL. He was a great hubby. I don't really believe in regrets. However, I can say, my divorce is definitely #1. (hindsight is 20/20) I have found some OK men but for most part men are assholes. They are't assholes on purpose; it's part of their make up. I'm learning that men will show you how they are right from the beginning. It's women that twist the signs and trust me I have done my share of twisting. No more.

I have met a man. I'm taking it slow with him. We're seeing each pretty frequently but there is no expectations (on either side) and I'm taking him at face value. We are having fun with time we have. This is my experiment. I will see what happens. If what I want to happen doesn't happen, my expectations is to continue with my life and keep it moving (with whatever moving is, LOL).

Anyhoo, I will post later the lip scrub and an update on my hair journey. I cannot WAIT until this first phase is over. LOL!


Love you lots,
Danielle
