is due for release soon...and I can't wait...the title I believe is "Castle of Fire and Ice"....I've read the first ones, and omg, I can't wait for the this one....

Have been revisiting an old friend of mine...the Redwall Abbey books....Or are they called the Mossflower books...any way....still love them.

Ok....now I'm done...good night.

Couldn't have said it better....

As REAL women, we need to give the REAL men in the world a chance...a chance to show us that they are real and not just players of the game.

Mine was today...got to get up with the kiddo, make him his breakfast, help him get dressed, sent him off to school, got my housework done, and got to veg a bit.

When he came home from school, I got the biggest, most beautiful smile because I was standing there waiting for the van to stop so I could get him out.

We had to spend some time with his TSS (kind of like a behavioral therapist), which he didn't mind at all, actually interacted with the TSS without any reinforcement on compliance.

Then it was off to the grocery store, then Barnes and Nobles for a book he literally read to pieces, and to his favorite place to eat, Chuckee Cheese's, where we spent about two hours going from game to game, ate cold pizza and drank warm sodas, cause they sat so long while we played.

Took him upstairs for his bath, got him dressed in his footies, cause it's downright freezing tonight, got a big hug, and a kiss, and he's now up there reading that book by his moon (yes moon...it's like a big nightlight that hangs on the wall and goes through the phases of the moon).
Perfect day!!!

No Problem my friend. Some people should just stop talking after the first few words..ya know what I mean?

Why thank ya

I was thinking the same thing

Mine are the people who visit the same fast food restaurant day after day, yet still feel the need to stare at the freaking menu board as if it changed since the day before, and will do this at the register for about 5 minutes, not only holding up the folks behind the counter, but the ones standing in line behind them.....

Good Lord people, get what you really want and get the heck out the way!!!

Heya Hippie!!! There ya go....see, like I said in my post.

George of the Jungle, that nutty

Then there are women like me, who actually don't want or need a man to be there too much....I have been a loner for a loooooong time...and yeah, it makes it hard for me to find someone to be a part of our lives, but hey...if they can't understand when I say, "I can't see you this week, what with work and the kiddo", then they don't need to, they can just go away.

I have dated outside ethnicity, and would do so again, IF the man was a MAN, not a dude, dog, player, and so on....

I expect respect, consideration and kindness to be returned in the same amount I have given it.

I want someone with a decent amount of intelligence, whether it's gained from books or life or both.

And the color of the skin means nothing if the person is attractive, to me, inside and out.

The neediness....OMG...pull up your big girl/boy panties, and deal!!!!

There is one person in this whole world who I will deal with when he's needy....he's a handsome soon-to-be young man with big blue eyes and calls me Mommy...yeah, my kiddo.

that's my two cents....I'm sure I have some change coming.

I would prefer NOT to be told "I love you" by anyone other than my kiddo.

Why? Because it trips from the lips a little too easily. Show me by just being there when I need someone to talk to, or buy me one single flower, not a whole dozen, but one you looked and looked for until you found it....there are many many simple ways to show how much you actually DO love me.

And believe me, I WILL reciprocate.

I'm sorry, but that seems not only contradictory, but extremely biased.

First of all, hats off to all single full-time fathers out there...some of us single moms know what you are going through.

I have always found single fathers more attractive than single men w/o children. Mainly due to the fact that I was medically advised that I would NEVER carry a child to full term...heh...they got that one wrong...my 8 y/o is proof of that.

Single fathers have given up any freedom they had to care for and raise their child/ren. The ones I have been privileged to meet and get to know are extremely hard working, sensitive to their children's needs, and are actually willing to talk to someone to get to know them first rather than trying to get the perspective mate in the sack first.

So I say, WAY TO GO DADS

I believe I am a better lover now than I was at say 25...one of the reasons is because at 42, I'm just hitting my sexual peak....LOL....talk about the libido of a teenager....

Also, I've experimented, experienced and learned from them....hey...I was no angel when I was young.

I just bought a new

what fun would there be in telling you?

which sucks because it's cold and

Oooops...did you see what I did?

Seeing as I'm the boss at work and I use my cell phone for that, I don't give out my number right away. My home phone is unlisted and will stay that way...security reasons for the kiddo.

I also make it known that I don't have an IM downloaded onto my pc....again, security reason for the kiddo.

When I'm ready to chitchat on the phone, I'll ask for his number, and the best times to call.
