A friend of mine, let's name her Mama, for good reason. Mama has been dating Mr. Smooth for quite some time. I want to say that they have been together for almost a year. I have never met Mr. Smooth, but I was happy for Mama when she told me she had met a man and that they were "spending time", getting to know each other. Over time, she started saying that they were "best friends", that she

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful new start to the new year ahead of us. I want to thank you all for the wonderful time spent reading and writing. I received a call from a publisher over the holidays and I will be spending my "blog" time on a book project. I don't know where this road will lead me, hopefully it's to a published book! LOL. I will try my best to keep up on all of you and

OK, my 74 year old Father is really scaring me.Yesterday, we have this weird "this is not happening" conversation.Dad - "Since your car is behind mine and you're not leaving right now, do you want me to move it?"Me - "Uh, sure! Thanks!"Dad - Walks out the door. Walks back in. "This is the remote to unlock it, but where's the key?"Me - "Huh? Oh, I don't have a key. It's a smart key, remember

OK, I ranted about Hunter last week. Why? He annoys me sometimes!This week, I cry "Uncle"! I apologize. Really, I do. Can we just go back to the way things were?Gees!So last night, doing the same ol' with him and he has his left leg held out so I can get my finger under him to scratch his belly.I think everything is cool...he poops on me!

OK, I usually don't do this out loud or on paper. I usually just sit in a quiet room and I start listing the first 25 things I can think of that I love about Bebe. This is my homework to keep my love alive, upfront, meaningful. It helps me to appreciate him and not take him for granted.So, if you are interested-keep reading, if not, or it's going to make you barf-have a great day.Bebe, I love:1.

So, to keep the romance alive, Bebe and I go on "Date Nights" without Puppy. Last week, we did dinner and a movie.As I have mentioned before, we are always laughing at each other. I usually make sure I get the last word in. Bebe makes fun of me, I turn it around. Sometimes, I am just laughing so hard I can't say anything. This was one of those times.We met up after I got off work, so we had

You know, Hunter, it is a good thing you are just a lizard.First of all, your name's all wrong. You, my friend, are no hunter. Hungry, sure, most definitely. A hunter? Hmmm, not so much. Remember those crickets? Yeah, Buddy, I know it's been a while. I have to draw the line somewhere. I cringed when I pulled off their hind legs just for you, AND you still couldn't catch them!

Hello!Today, I want to share a story about myself and what I am passing on to my son, Puppy.I came to the United States with my family back in 1975. Our family included my Grandmother from my Father's side, my Mother, my Nanny, my 3 sisters, my brother and me. We were one of the larger families to immigrate, so we waited a long time in the military camp for a family to sponsor us. Eventually 2

As I have mentioned before, my Father is 74 years old. He has lived a very FULL life. He is getting a little fuzzy I think. Here are some examples.Me - "Dad, Mom mentioned that you wanted to borrow Bebe's car to pick up Puppy from school tomorrow. Bebe will pick him up."Dad - "Why do I need to borrow a car?"Me - "Mom has that massage therapy apt. remember?"Dad - "Your Mom can pick him up."Me - "

I took Ms. Brown Suga to dinner last night. She chose the "Old Crazies Buffet". I normally go wherever she wants for her company and not so much for the food. Hooters for wings, Buffet for mushed potatoes and gravy, Casino for seafood. We do have weird cravings. We are both emotional eaters. We don't just eat because we are emotional, but we get together because we are emotional and then we meet

Let's talk about driving. I have been keenly aware of bad drivers lately.A couple of weeks back, Bebe and I were taking my parents and Puppy to a nice Sunday Brunch. Due to a bet I won with my Dad, we decided to use HIS $100.00 to treat him with! LOL, yes I know the man's 74 and no, I did not feel bad taking his money. When he decides to laugh in my face and bet me 10 to 1 and he had 2 to 1 odds?

Hello!Thank you to everyone for such awesome support. It really is nice to know that others are rooting for us.Again, I am not looking for a paycheck, but I am making sure that Puppy is not going to have any future problems on his teeth that were worked on. I also do not plan on paying for his visit! I will not pay for what needs to be fixed by another dentist either, if anything.So, I waltzed

The Tooth Fairy was the last of my son's worries concerning his dentist.I AM SOOO PISSED!I posted earlier about the dentist pulling out baby teeth that were loose, without notifying Grandma first. When I got home, I could see that the adult teeth were coming in, so no big deal. I was just peeved about it.Thursday, Bebe took Puppy back to the dentist for another scheduled appointment. He was being

The Weasel strikes again. Bebe and I met up with Ms. Brown Suga at Hooters last week. I know, Hooters? Yup! I absolutely am addicted to their hot wings. I like them so hot, your sinuses get cleared just smellin' them! Anyhow, so the whole Weasel thing has not ended. Chickie got another text last week, "So, can I get back in?" What? What the hell is wrong with this man? Chickie asked him

Chasing Reality has a post titled "Changes". I really liked that LacksReality, as he refers to himself, made changes. I knew nothing about this man and I did a crazy DRB (Dating Really Blows, previous Blog) marathon to get caught up. I was fascinated by LR's Blog. It is "in your face" raw and brutally honest. It is a man speaking his mind! I found it refreshing, like so many others that I am

Puppy is my world! I never ever thought I could love someone sooo much. I actually thought that I wouldn't be able to have any children before him, maybe not after. I had 3 miscarriages before Puppy, the worst being the last of the 3, at 4 months along. I also had one after Puppy.This last miscarriage was the final good-bye to my marriage. I went to the hospital alone. It didn't even occur to me

I'm in our kitchen and Bebe asks me how I'm doing. I ask him if he saw what I left for him.

We decided since his name is Will, oops, did I just type that or what???

Man takes his time and flirts and wins her heart, little by little. He doesn't try too hard, just a comment here and there, just at the right times to let her know he is interested in her. He sends out those little hints that maybe

OK, here's a topic to start out with! My ex husband was cheating. Oh, he wasn't just cheating, he had been doing it for our entire marriage of 5 years...with the same woman!!! Did that just get your attention??? How did I find out? I found out AFTER I filed for divorce. I got a hold of all the bank records, etc. in the process of preparing for court. An account I didn't even know "we" were still
