Random thoughts...

The dating world (for the older crowd) is pretty 'interesting'... had a guy this week who really thought it was appropriate to use a dating site to network for his upcoming business' release! Yep, that's definitely where I would NOT EVER look for new customers- no matter what I was selling- my definition of 'interesting'.

Also been thinking about the last decade of my dating experience... could have been a whole lot worse- in the last ten years, I can count on one hand the number of my friends who have actually set me up on a date. (and yes, I am still friends with all of them even though the dates obviously did not work out- one was even an adventurous disaster!) Makes me wonder why... if every friend were to just set me up just once, life would definitely be in a different place right now. I guess that could be good or bad! (and to be fair, a few others have tried, but the guy didn't want to even date someone with kids... so glad those guys said no!) So for any of you who know me, think about it: I will still continue to be your friend, the guy does NOT have to be someone I would marry (just someone old enough who wants to get out of his house too), and it could be a new experience for you!

Jon is the best teenager in the universe! (even when he's grumpy). I caught him listening to EFY music at full blast this week! He has been going to bed before 10 without me asking! He improved his grades by over +1.0 grade point! on his own! He would rather watch an 'Abbott and Costello' movie than any of the network programming! Yep, this mom is definitely one of the most blessed moms to ever live!

Oh, and Charly, Eric and Alison are nothing short of amazing either (even if one of them is the culprit for setting me up with that guy that was the 'adventurous disaster'!!!)
