I decided I needed to keep busy around the house this weekend, primarily to reorganize and clean up on Saturday, then to stain the deck and plant flowers on Sunday. I also needed to stay busy because it prevented my mind from dwelling on things out of my control, namely the fallout from my personal [...]

Take 2 people crazy about each other. Add 1 crisis after another. Find 1 person struggling to cope with it all; the other struggling to support and understand. Mix well. Serves 2 large doses of frustration and disappointment. – Coach and I find ourselves at a place where we never thought we’d be when we started dating [...]

I took the kids to Dick’s Sporting Goods over the weekend to pick up some soccer stuff. (Yep, more magnet ball is coming soon!) While there I noticed an attractive father with his two young daughters. I saw him looking at me a few times. Once or twice he smiled at me. Wowie wow-wow — [...]

I mean, if I see one more “match” with a 40-something guy who lives with his parents, or who wants to meet a “pretty country girl,” I’m gonna lose [...]

Remember the response I got from the guy on the online dating site who finally contacted me – with another email address at which to contact him? Well, late last week he responded to my chipper “hello, how are you” note at his preferred his email address with this: Hi Susan. Thanks for the note. [...]
