Not That Desperate
So, anyone who has read my blogs knows that I am overweight. However, that does not mean I’m desperate. I do single very well, so I’m not so lonely that I’m going to accept someone who isn’t worthy of me. Nor will I beg or demean myself in any way. I’ve done the settling thing …
Still Irritated
A few weeks ago, a co-worker with whom I just started working said something, and I’m still not over it. Apparently, it bothered me. Did I say anything to him about it? Oh heck no! I am not one to say anything if there’s any chance that it might start any kind of negativity. What …
They Accept Me!
So, I’m fat. I’m 120 pounds overweight. Technically, I’m morbidly obese. I’ve been told I don’t look as heavy as I am, but I am still quite fat. I try to live a normal life, but it does hinder me somewhat. Amusement park rides and movie theaters aren’t suited for someone who is an extra …
Too Accepting?
So, in this whole dating process, I’m trying to figure out exactly how tolerant I’m supposed to be. Which negative character traits should be tolerated, and which shouldn’t? Obviously, nobody is perfect. Everyone is going to have flaws. Which should be overlooked and which should be deal-breakers? Right now, I’m totally overlooking physical aesthetics. I …
Best Hike Ever!
Did you ever have one of those days which turns out better than you expected? Yesterday was that day for me. My mother, sister, and I had scheduled a hike in a new area and my sister was in charge of finding a good trail. We got off to a slow start, which didn’t bode …
Man of Steel
I love Superman. All things Superman (well, except for the graphic novels, of course). I own two Superman TV series, the entire series of movies with Christopher Reeve, and the subsequent, but lesser known, Supergirl movie. I think I am the only fan of Superman Returns (I have no idea how many times I’ve watched …
Ready to Give Up
Every single day, I’m ready to throw in the towel. Why did I decide to date again? Blech! I’m chatting with a guy, we’re getting along great, and then he just stops e-mailing. I sent another note or two, just to let him know that I’m still interested, but I’m not about to be pathetic …
Why Is It…
Who starts social mores? Where do they originate? And why do we keep them around? Why is saying the word, “penis” a bad thing? Or “vagina”? Who decided that the word penis is taboo? And why? Every man out there has one and everyone knows what he’s got. It’s no different than saying, “arm” or …
Scaredy Cat
That’s right, I’m a massive wuss. And, apparently, I assume that every good-looking man of a healthy weight will reject me because of my excess weight. I might be right – I might be wrong. One of my friends who met her husband online told me that she made the first move. He really liked …
Alone and Lonely
I took my son back to his father tonight, and my house is way too quiet. I don’t think that’s the whole truth. I think I miss being part of a couple. I miss having someone to share my troubles and my joys. I miss kissing someone goodnight and saying good morning to someone. I …
