So this week has been going all wrong and now I need to rant about it so I can get over it..... 1. Rant 1.  Why is it that guys after putting a lot of effort into wanting to date you all of the sudden drop off the face of the earth?????  Don't return the phone call or text....I am assuming this is their way of saying they are not interested, but couldn't they just return the call and say that????  I hate being in limbo....I found a magnet that says "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them!."  That is exactly how I feel!!!  I really wish I  knew what it was about me that seems to attract all the a**holes out there .  I know I am cute and faboulous...LOL and I have a really good job, own my house and don't have any drama, I don't get it.  UGHGHGHGH...I am gonna join a convent!!!! 2. Rant 2  My house, just seems to want to suck money out of me that I don't have, my dog just destroys everything and it is ticking me off....UGH..I wish I could sell but nothing is selling at the moment...at least I have a roof over my head.  I went to DC yesterday to go through all the war memorials, and there were so many homeless men walking around that have nothing, I was tearing up.  and then when I walked through the Vietnam war memorial, and looked at the pain in all of those men's faces...I can't imagine...so sad...puts my problems in check, and they seem so small in comparison.   OK, there is my rant...hope everyone is have a great weekend and remember....as Mr Winston Churchill said "Never in the course of history have so many owed so much to so few."  Enjoy your weekend and remember those who have given their lives so we could live ours.

Sounds like you are having my kind of pathetic day, only when you finally find the right guy and they become a husband doesn't mean you still don't want to "throw rocks at them" (by the way I really like that saying!) And houses are the biggest money pit of all, but if it is not the house making you broke then it's going to the gas station that will really make you depressed, the only thing more expensive than gas is ink for the computer printer!

But you are right, this is the weekend not to think about ourselves but all of those that have died so that we could live free!

Hi Jen, I agree with you about the stupidity of men at times.  I am surprised anybody ever gets together and finds a compatible mate with all the communication barriers and differing expectations.  Just put a note to yourself and stick it to the phone that says "don't even think of calling him!" I like what you said about being thankful to our war veterans and those who have died for our country so that we can life a relatively free and safe life.  What  good idea to visit the DC memorials.  I hope the rest of your weekend goes well. 

Thanks Ladies...and I won't be calling him, actually deleted the phone numbers from the cell phone and I can't remember the last time I actually memorized someone's digits...his loss, totally. Life will be better tomorrow, because it is a new day with no mistakes in it :)

Oh, Jen, Jen, Jen......as you saw from my other posts, it's clear you and I are dating men from the same planet, "Planet Butthead!!"  I wish I had answers, but alas, I don't.  I try hard to remember that there are women out there who play the same kinds of games, but man, is it frustrating!!!

Isn't it amazing how seeing what other people don't have can put the things you do have in perspective?

Hang in there on the men issue, it's GOT to get better!!!

"Planet Butthead" is exactly why I have given up dating for a while.  Ladies, I divorced 4 years ago and was so focused on dating and finding the right one. I had 3, 4 or 5 month relationships in that period.   And after the last one showed his a**, I decided to set some personal goals and work towards them - for me and my kids....and you know what? In the past 3 months I have been happier and more relaxed than I have been in 4 years!!!   I have been out  and had men ask for my number, and you should see their face when I say "no thank you".  But you know what?  In less than 2 years I will be debt-free except my mortgage, I will have pre-paid college trusts for my kids (x2) for 3 years of college for each (daddy's gonna have to do something there), and I am exercising working towards my goal weight 5 x a week.  I have determined it is time for me!  And yes, I am lonely, no I don't want to be alone, but it's just easier not to bother!!!  Besides - you don't have to cook for toys, they don't make messes around the house, and they can't lie to you!!!  

*laugh*  Smiles...u are funny....I started to come to the same conclusion focus on me.....and the toys....well they do a better job most of the time anyway...*giggle* I have set a few goals for myself....I want to be outta debt in 2 years as well, so I am chipping away at that issue and I am back to running.  Clears my head. Thanks for the encouragement ladies.... Jen

Any time Jen! I am very fortunate in a lot of ways...one being that I grew up in the family of a Greek restaurant owner.  i.e.:  My sister took over the place when my parents retired, and I have part time work at my fingertips.  The beauty of it is, she needed someone to wait tables every other Sunday night - so the weekends I don't have my kids, I waitress for 5 hours, make a chunk of $$$< and run my butt off - see - no men involved, and it is a means to an end for BOTH of my main goals! :) Hang in there...besides all that, I have a little deal with God...when He's ready, he's gonna drop the right one in my lap with a post-it note on his forehead that says "God says I'm it". Until that happens, I'm done with 'em! :)

Greek Restaurant???  Where I love greek food and have been looking for a good one. Oh, wait, totally bypassed the guy comments...LOL...I like your deal with God, I actually started going back to church because I thought I should have the Father, Son and Holy Ghost on my side, will have to add the post it note to the "signs," so I know I have a keeper :) Have a wonderful Memorial Day and stay outta trouble...LOL

Hey girl, I am just hoping that today and the rest of the week is a better one for you. ((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))
