Although, I was out gardening this weekend and my kids said, "Peggy Thomas was working on her apple trees when we were over at Dad's.' Oh, how wonderful for Peggy Thomas. And great, we share a common interest. Good to know she has more hobbies than sleeping with married men.
What was Daddy doing? Oh, he was building something for his car. Wow, he must be more motivated in skanky whoredom than he was for the last few years at home. I think the only tool he used was his computer mouse for about three years straight. Probably should have realized he was trolling for more than used Kayaks at that point.
I know I'm not Gisele Bundchen but puh-leaze, tell me that I'm not on the same shelf as Gandalf. On-line dating is scary and depressing. It is good for one thing though. Making you appreciate being alone. Yup, I think I'm good for now.

I went ahead and did match.com, too. The crazy part is that when I someone "liked" my photo or emailed me (also, some relation of Gandalf), I sort of hyperventilated, freaked out, and realized...I am not ready.
ReplyDeleteYup, I can relate. Just clicking 'make visible' made me sick to my stomach but I forced myself to do it. I got the creeps looking at most of the men on there. I actually contacted a local guy and started a conversation with him... Yeah, pretty sure he thinks I'm crazy now though. Oh well, that's not far from the truth. :) Thanks for reading and writing Michelle! Hang in there. There's life after divorce, or so I hear.
DeleteI don't know that I'll ever be "ready". I've tried, and it hasn't worked. The trust issues, the self-image issues, all of the wounds from the nasty divorce are slow to heal...it's going to have to be someone very special to get me feeling goosebumps and butterflies again.
ReplyDeleteEither that or a very old, very blind, very rich chubby chaser.
Trust issues, check. Self-image issues. Check. Open wounds. Check. Man hater. Check. (I know you didn't list that one but I had to throw it in there for myself). I can't imagine ever having much of a relationship again but time will tell I guess. I'm slightly bored with things now that's why I'm making a tiny bit of effort. LOL.
