What is this world coming to?

Really.

I just opened up the news page on my computer hoping to read some interesting up to date, make me more knowledgeable about the world news.

Across the top the headline read:

BREAKING NEWS: Britney Spears files for divorce.

Is this a shock to anyone? I mean really. Could you be married to a punk wanna be black rapper like Kevin Federline? Even in my desperation to find someone to share the rest of my life with, I could NEVER date, yet alone be married to anyone like K-Fed.

As slutty and skanky as Britney is, I really thought she had a little more couth about her than to marry him. She should have stuck it out when she married the old high school boyfriend in Vegas. It probably would have lasted longer.

Inspiration

I have been inspired. Inspired by my friend KAD. She has made a commitment to write every day on her blog. It stems from this NaBloPoMo. I'm just calling it "make me feel ridiculously inadequate as a blogger" month.

Anyway, KAD has made me realize that I can at least write once a day. It isn't all that hard. Just a couple lines here and there. I can surely come up with something each and every day....surely.

Let's be honest up front, I am more than likely not going to have posts for the first six days of the month. I can't go back now. Only full steam ahead.

What does this mean for you? Well for the three of you that actually read this, it means you get to read my ramblings each and every single day. Consider it my gift to you.

The holidays are fastly approaching and I am in a tizzy. A tizzy over schedules, gatherings, gifts, etc. And all to fast the holidays will be gone and I will wait with anticipation until the next holiday season.

And with a month....

there is still no news to report in my dating life. I have had a few conversations with the hot cop, but no date. I keep telling myself that he is out serving and protecting and that is the reason he has not called. Sounds good, huh? It is true, he works a lot. He even mentioned that it was pretty difficult for him to have a life outside of work. I understand this. It is totally difficult for me to have a life outside of work and being a parent. The quest for happiness continues.

On another note this morning I have been thinking...surprising, right? It's holiday time and I am not even remotely prepared for it. I have made no concrete plans for family visits, no concrete lists of gifts, no concrete lists of food I must have, nothing. I am feeling really behind.

First Day of Fall

I was so excited and anxious for the day to get here. The day where I can put away the sleeveless, the tanks, the shorts, the capris and pull out the sweaters, long sleeves, sweatshirts and jeans.

The first day of fall was not the day. It was 90 degrees in Memphis...a heat wave. A little cooler than it has been but not at all the days of fall I am awaiting.

...........

My weekend was how shall I say, uneventful? The precious angel was with her father and that made me happy. I love my alone time.

I was reminiscing this weekend about my life before the precious angel. The sleeping late on Saturdays, eating chips for dinner if I felt like it, being a bum...and I LOVED it!!

Now, times have changed. I took on the responsibility of raising a child. No more sleeping late, no more eating junk for dinner, no more just being; except on the weekends when she is with her father. I ate junk all weekend. I slept later than normal and I was a bum. It felt good.

Maybe a Little Premature Here

This is probably a little premature and could very well jinx any and all possibilities, but I might possibly have a date in the near future!

I know, I know, pick yourself up off of the floor. It is true. I met someone at my friend's Labor Day cookout last Sunday. He is in law enforcement, which I like. We had a great conversation. He looks good. What more could I ask for, right?

My friends are going to plan a casual evening of fun and invite the both of us so we can get to know each other a little more.

I have probably just jinxed this to hell in a hand basket, but I had to tell someone...you know, the three people that actually read this!!

Go ahead and throw stones...

I know I said that I would update this most boring blog on a regular basis, so sue me.

It's Saturday morning and I have had my coffee and a doughnut, started some laundry and the dishwasher (forgot that one last night). I feel productive. The child is gone to her father's and I am alone. I started my grocery list, which sucks. I hate going to the grocery store, not more than I hate going to Walmart, but I still hate it.

Which makes me realize, I think I am in a cooking rut. I feel like I cook the same meals over and over. I think today I will branch out. Find some new recipes. Try something different. The world has no bounds for me today.

Stay tuned for an exciting post on my cooking adventures today.

Library Excitement!

From the books, that is. I wish I could report that I met the most romantic man of my dreams but I didn't. He just was not there. In fact, there were not as many men in the bookstore as usual. It was quite depressing.

On the other hand, I did quite enjoy perusing the books and enjoy my very over priced coffee! I had sworn off my $6 a day habit, but I can't resist.

I have also resorted to watching sappy chic flicks on television. You know the ones I am talking about...where the girl ALWAYS finds the love she is looking for and they live happily ever after. The Wedding Date, Picture Perfect, etc. The movies that I actually "hate".

I think Satan will have the precious angel tonight as well. I see lots of wine in my immediate future!!

Boredom

After several glasses of wine last night and lots of television, I finally went to sleep.

It is so odd that when my child is here I WANT to get in bed early, but when she is gone I can stay up until the wee hours of the morning. Just plain weird.

On another note, I am bored out of my mind! I have actually cleaned my house and done all my laundry. Strange, isn't it? My only other option is to get out in the yard and work there, but let's be honest. It's just to damn hot. So that's out.

I think I might go peruse the bookstore and see if I can meet a gentleman there. Have you ever noticed that men hang out in the magazine section? I think I might suddenly be interested in magazines!!

Wish me luck, I'm going hunting!!
