I have been going to church intermittently since I mentioned it here. It has been well worth it. The minister is phenomenal – young, very smart, well read and well educated. He has a diplomacy that will take him far in his calling. The Bible reading on a recent Sunday was Proverbs 1:20-33. Wow, whatContinue reading “Preach It!”

A Little Burnt Out
After thinking and writing about work, I realized that I need a break. Labor Day weekend was a good start. I was busy with lots of fun activities and it felt great to have an extra day off. But I need more. I hope the week I will be taking off to spend with myContinue reading “A Little Burnt Out”
Scary Date
I must trust my gut more. I had a date that on the surface seemed OK. I wasn’t interested in the guy, but we had, I thought, a pleasant conversation. Apparently he harbored ill feelings to being rejected. Let me start from the beginning. This guy started out on Match with a flurry of flirtyContinue reading “Scary Date”
I am Blessed
I am a very fortunate woman. I have two wonderful kids that are doing well, I am about to be a grandmother!I no longer have any debt, I have been able to save some money and I have lived a great life. I am very much at peace with myself and feel comfortable in myContinue reading “I am Blessed”
Time to Change Things Up
My Bumble activity is a trickle. Here’s my scorecard (in no particular order): Breadcrumb Dude (BC) – he checks in via text about once a week. We haven’t hooked up. Neither of us has asked and I am fine to leave it there. Baywatch – two dates in about 5 weeks. I don’t expect thatContinue reading “Time to Change Things Up”
Over-sharing
I have the tendency to over-share. My life is an open book for the most part. I try to use this blog to mitigate my “spill the guts” propensity. I can’t say the blog stops me, but I think it slows me down. I can overshare at any moment. When I was heading home fromContinue reading “Over-sharing”
Future Goals
I have been thinking about some self-improvement/self-love things I want to do over the next several years or so. I am blogging so I don’t forget this stuff. Sometimes my bright ideas are like a SnapChat – only here for a minute…. Here are these goals: Financially I still need to cash in my wholeContinue reading “Future Goals”
Bumbling Along Update #2
Bumble is a very strange place. People’s insecurities and issues pop out at a moment’s notice. For example, I spent a good part of Sunday texting with a seemingly nice guy. A little younger by 5-6 years, stable job in a highly-skilled trade, military vet, divorced after 20 years. We bantered and it seemed fine.Continue reading “Bumbling Along Update #2”
Where Did It Go?
This year my discretionary spending has skyrocketed. Year-to-date I have spent over $3,500 on travel, $2,000 on gifts and $1,800 on the financial planner. That is $7,300 that did not go into my savings account. I am also over $1,300 on my clothing budget. Fortunately over-budget does not mean in debt. I am paying allContinue reading “Where Did It Go?”
Lady Parts
I have been having some issues in my lady parts area. I know, I know, TMI, but I ended up having a chuckle out of this. I was having some uncomfortable itchy sensations that occurred after visiting BC. It was noticeable. I went through a rundown of possibilities. I won’t go into graphic detail, butContinue reading “Lady Parts”
