With the ending of my recent relationship with the City Boy I’ve found myself visiting the dating sites again. I had forgotten how depressing and frustrating they can be. And how many shady characters seem to be lurking there ready to pounce on the first unsuspecting victim. From conversations I’ve had with members of the… Continue Reading

My Favorite Martian?(or more experience with Mars/Venus stuff)
Yes, it’s been a long time since I posted here. At the time, my interest in a city boy had given me an unusual interest in college hoops. I guess in the time I’ve been MIA you could say much has happened. Or not. You see, over the past months I’ve been presented with a… Continue Reading
I ♥ Hoops?
Well, I wouldn’t go quite that far…yet. But I will admit to watching my first basketball game since high school. It was the Duke •vs• UNC game Saturday night, a bitter rivalry here in North Carolina but that wasn’t the reason I found myself tuning in. It had everything to do with a city boy…. Continue Reading

More to Love?
So I spent part of my evening watching the first two episodes of the new reality dating show “More to Love” . I have never been a fan of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, in fact I’m not sure I’ve ever really seen a full episode of either of them. But when I heard the… Continue Reading
Foolish Games
Those of you that have been following my internal debate about dating will be glad to know that I finally got brave and gave my number out to someone I met through an online dating site. Unfortunately the experience has left me asking myself why I bothered. Last weekend, I responded to one of the… Continue Reading

And to further prove this was the right choice for my new home, the flowers are in bloom and they are all..pink! If that doesn’t scream girly girl, I don’t know what does…. Continue Reading
