A Single Middle-Aged Woman...

Close your eyes and imagine a picture of Lucy holding a football on end for Charlie Brown to kick. Last summer I took a suggestion from my eldest daughter to post a profile on Farmers Only Dot Com. I've done my fair share of online dating over the years...and my first step in that murky water was at the suggestion of a friend.  I was two years into being a widow and they said I needed to "get out there."  Beware of those words, girls.  I'm just saying.  So, I gave it a shot and for the next few years met a few, how shall I say this, horny, selfish and immature men out to have a good time.  A couple hung around for a couple of years, but only because they were too lazy to date, and well, I'm really easy to get along with and super nice...too nice.  Remind me to write a blog about how much most men love crazy bitches, which I am not but I envy them a little.  I swear...it's an enigma.

This will be supa short.  I've got to go to bed...back to school hours are kicking my butt.  Plus, I'm older now and less resilient to lack of sleep. I attended a class about blogging. I vow to write here more often. I vow to start a professional blog...not linked to this one because I vent (and curse) here and that's just not professional. I vow to be honest as I dare in an effort to be relevant and raw. It's a rough world out here for women, especially single middle-aged women and you deserve the validation of the transparent truth.
