Hello everyone

I have been a bit down and it's my own fault.  When I posted on Facebook i had a date Friday...it was a double date.  It was ok the problem was the guy was very persistent and I said ok to a second date.  I should have went with my gut and said no.  But the guy was nice and I thought if I'm going to move on I need to start dating.  Well this guy acted like a jerk!!!  He made it clear he wanted to have sex and when I made it clear that wasn't going to happen he got mad!!!!  When I got home I told my friend...do you know what this jerk told my friend (she fixed us up).  That I sent him mixed messages!!!  Ummm...I said no several times...how that is mixed messages I'm not sure.  Well this whole thing just made me miss Chris.  He never acted like that....he treated me like a lady (at least in the beginning).  So this whole thing just backfired...instead helping me get over him....it did just the opposite!!!

Since when do guys expect sex on the second date!!!  What happened to getting to know each other....getting comfortable with each other.  This jerk said to me...you think you're all that!!!  And I said..."you might not think so...but there is a man out there that will think so.  And I don't need to come to him with crotch the size of the grand canyon because I slept with every a$$hole I went on a second date with!!!"  And I left!!!!  GRRRR!!!

So there is my first experience trying to get out there and date other people.  Not a very good omen.

Well today I am running around to run errands after work.  That is all.  How about you guys

Time to go to work....have a nice day all.  Bye

I have always had good luck with Caphlon brand.

Hi Carla and My Chicks,

I love Crate and Barrel, I love to just walk around at the huge outlet we have in Naperville. Have you been Carla?

I posted yesterday and dont see it??? Weird. Yesterday I watched the grandbabies all day and then in the evening went to a retirement home and sang worship songs and prayed with the tenants. It was lovely. I havent done that in such a long time.

Today I am going to the Chiropractor. I was rear-ended late Monday afternoon by an off duty Lockport police officer. I am feeling a bit stiff in my lower back and think I need some adjusting. I drive a 10 year old Volvo, so my dinasaur did not have even have a scratch luckily. His car was so bad he looked like he was going to cry. We exchanged info and I was on my merry way.

Crsytal I recently watched a show on cable about how men view online dating. It showcased 10 men who are using online dating as a tool to have sex on the first date. Apparently because of this, men are expecting that now and get angry when a woman isnt on the same page.  Also, I know how this incident can cause you to long for Chris, but try not to compare the two. There is someone out there for you. I promise.

Gotta run, I am trying to catch the trash dude before they come. I can hear them, so I must skidaddle.

Hugs,

Sharon

Good Moring Carla and the rest of Illinois!

Crystal....sorry to hear you found a jerk.  They are not ALL like that, but unfortunately, many are.  Your soul mate will appear when you least expect it.  Your story sounds like one of the acts that Liv acted in her last play.  It was called, The Rules" and it was just as you talked about.  The boy felt that it was his "right" to "certain physical contact".  It was a powerful thing to think about and hopefully, showed some of the young men in attendance the correct way to be.  I am glad that you got out of there!  Actually, I met lots and lots of guys like that before I met Todd.  That is one of the reasons I fell for him.....he made friends with Amber first and he did not push for a sexual relationship right away.

Sharon---you sound like your old, happy self.  Good for you!

I am up and doing my morning computer work.  After my shower, I have to run David to work then go to Freeport for a meeting and a few other errands.  Home to do some planting then Awards Night for Olivia.  I am excited to see if she won any scholarships.

I'd better get on it!  Everyone have a wonderful day!

Hello folks,

Today was knitting and lots of errands. I haven't had lots of errands for years and I'm having to get used to being busy. I did have some success on my computer with a few things I couldn't do, so that was a victory. The farmers' market was open and so I got a few things there and then had to get milk and eggs at the store. Tonight we went to Social where they were taping for a Chicago WTTW show called "Check, please". It will be on June 20th. I doubt that we will be shown but it was fun to be there with all the excitement!

Tomorrow we have dinner with some friends we haven't seen for a while. Looking forward to that!

I'm sure you all are enjoying the weather!
