Happy Valentine's Day and Welcome!

Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers out there! What better day to finally publish my first post on my new blog that's been sitting here waiting for me for weeks than Cupid's favorite day (tho certainly not mine)!

My intent with this blog is to mostly make you laugh at all of my silly dating adventures as a mid-40 single mom (with perhaps a bit of an attitude) for almost two years trying to meet someone. Oh it's been a fucking joy. And yea, I better preface this blog with a PG-13 rating or R, based on my sailor mouth. I'm hoping you can laugh along with me. Maybe even relate. Or maybe even learn something.

This is coming from the girl who has been stood up or cancelled on last minute over 41 times (I lost count with some of the guys because YES I gave them sometimes 2nd, 3rd or even 4th chances) by 21 guys in the last 21 months (that average is depressing for real tho - what is that twice a month average?). But yet here I am not giving up - tho many times I have wanted to. Deep down inside I know I want a partner to spend my life with. I don't NEED a partner - and let me make that distinction very clear. I go out by myself all the time. I actually enjoy it. Sometimes even prefer it. But it would be nice to have someone to love.

In the last 21 months, I have dated many men, have had some God awful experiences and almost no positive ones. In these 21 months, I was fortunate to meet my soul mate, the love of my life, back in 2019, but tragically he passed away after only having been in my life less than three months (but that's another story for another day).

My stories will mostly be funny, maybe sometimes sad and maybe sometimes helpful (oh I have a whole series of posts planned in my head on "The <insert ridiculous title> Guy" - the ones to avoid on dating apps).

So join me on my journey to maybe one day find love or not, but it will be and has been one hell of a ride. As Bette Davis said, "Fasten your seatbelts."
