So there is a little update from my last post. Don't you hate it when you find out you've been taken advantage of? I certainly do especially when it is from the standpoint of matters of the heart. It turns out that the "guy" I thought I met is another scammer. Asked me for money after some seriously lame story about getting mugged. Did I need to remind this "guy" that I'm a nurse and you shouldn't try to get medical stuff past someone who works in the profession!!! Medical people are going to ask medical questions when there is something like that being presented to us. And don't ask for money in foreign currency! Really??? Do you think I'm going to send you pounds sterling? Right.
Well, lesson learned! Now just to get over the sting of feeling stupid. I know, I shouldn't feel stupid because that is what these people do - they suck you in and make you want to believe them. It's their job and they're good at it. But guess what? I still feel stupid! And I'm also a little hurt. As much as I try not to be, I'm a believing person. I like to think people are good. I know as a rational adult that most people probably are but there are enough that aren't that I should be on my guard. I WILL be for a while! Trust me!
I believe in love and I really want to be in love. That is why I, against my better judgement, I fell for it. I don't know what else to do but I know where it won't be happening. Cupid.com - HORRIBLE site! Full of scammers.
For the time being, I'll just be a slightly jaded hopeful/hopeless romantic! It's just who I am.

Call me Slacker!
Wow! What kind of slacker am I? Totally neglecting my blog! Unacceptable. My apologies. Obviously, I've been a little busy. But have I got a treat for you - read on!!
So is there really such a thing as love at first sight? Even less believable, is it possible to fall in love with someone you haven't met yet? Internet dating puts us in this position these days. Especially if you live away from the person. What can you believe? You can say anything you want and put out any picture you can find, as long as you have many different ones of the same person, and it doesn't have to be real. How do you know if you can trust them? If you are lying, is it easy to do? If someone is lying to you, can you tell? When can you start believing? For some people like me, I'm a believer. Or at least I want to be.
I'm gullible. I'll be the first to admit it. I try not to be but I'm trusting. I've been single for so long these days, it also puts me at risk for believing. I want to believe. I NEED to believe. I'm tired of being a single girl. My life is okay, some days even great but I'm lonely! I need love and companionship. I have great friends and family but let's face it. There is only so much they can do. So over the last few years, I've tried the internet dating scene. I've tried pretty much all of the reputable sites - Match, Chemistry, E-harmony, Yahoo personals - a couple of them more than once. What did these sites get me? Nothing but a lower self esteeem and a lighter pocket book. I took a break for a while from these kind of sites and had a few dates the normal way - asking - but nothing came of those except some friendship.
So I tried another site with some REALLY awful initial results but a pretty good one at the end of my very short time there. Can you fall for someone you haven't met? I'm finding myself doing just that and I'm a little petrified! What am I thinking? What do I have to lose? Nothing else has worked and I've never had anyone ever tell me some of the wonderful things I've been told. Don't worry! My guard is up. But when do I let it down? I'll have to keep trying this. I'll keep you posted. Hopefully it will be with good news. We'll see.

Welcome 2011!
Can you believe it??? It's 2011! I remember as a kid that we were supposed to have flying cars and all that kind of stuff by now. Guess it was fun to dream since we aren't quite there yet. Maybe one day!
So what is in store for me in 2011? Good question. I don't know. Here is what I hope for. I hope for sticking to eating healthy (doing Weight Watchers), continuing to see Sean for my personal training, continuing to hit the gym at least 2 other times each week, for some fun little trips to visit people and reconnect with some family, to try new things, to help other people experience new things, to enjoy life, and to fall in love (taking applications, if you're interested). Not in any particular order - in case you were wondering! :)
How do I plan to accomplish these things? Perseverance!! Tenacity! Stubbornness! Hard Work! Being a bitch on occasion! hahahahaha!!
I will occasionally keep you up-to-date on how these things are going. I promise not to bore with posting nothing but this drivvel. But you will have to read a little. Hey, it's my blog! :)
2011 - HERE I COME!!!!

Life
Have you ever noticed that life gets in the way??? Well, it does! But don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining about it. As a matter of fact, it is a great thing that it does! Yes, when it does, it keeps me from doing things I need to - clean my house, wash my car, keep up this blog... - but think of the alternative. What if you didn't have a life to get in your way? How sad would that be? Sure some days it is good to take a break from the hustle and bustle but if you never had any hustle and bustle? I can't imagine that.
Life should be full - full of friends, family, work (well that one is debatable - hahaha), music, fun, laughter, sorrow, shiny objects, dinner, movies, wine, sunrises, sunsets, flowers... I could go on but I think you get what I mean. Of course the amount of fullness varies to your personal liking. That is okay. No fullness is something I don't get. How do people get to that point? Do they just hide all the time? Do they not know how to open up just enough to let in 1 person? If you know someone like this, help them out, if they'll let you. Well at least try. I know it can be a futile effort sometimes but it might not be just one time. You may make someone's life.

Sticky business
I know...I'm a slacker. It has been forever but I've been busy. I'm going to try really hard to keep up - really. I mean it!!
You would think that in the 21st century, there would ONLY be stickers on products that can actually come off the product! I bought a new little container for my lunch, in an effort to try to eat better, and there was a sticker on the top to let me know there is a fork/spoon thingy under the lid. So I get my cute little container home and try to get the lid off and it just rips and won't come off. It is just shocking to me that in these times that all stickers can't come off products without leaving behind half the sticker. It is just ridiculous that this doesn't happen.
Sticker makers of the world - listen up! Make stickers that come off! Either that or just don't put them on! Thanks!!
To my few readers, have a great week and here's to more from me soon!
