i think it's time to go private...
or create another blog for my eyes only and the few i trust to read my thoughts and experiences because i have things i need to vent, share and just plain get out of my system!
so, if you're THAT interested, please post or text me your email addresses and if i deem you worthy to access the inner workings of my soul, you'll be added to my private blog.

great expectations?
when i first became single again a good friend told me this...
'you will find that people you don't like will like you and the people who you like won't like you. i don't know what's worse?'
i'm finding that the first is probably worse. only because you can control how you react to the fact that someone you find attractive doesn't like you. i mean, i've dealt with that all my life. i have liked boys who don't reciprocate the same feelings. and i've come away Ok and tougher.

i don't think that my list of non-negotiable must-haves is impossible but it IS specific to me. it's almost programmed into me. because try as i may, i can't force myself to be physically attracted to someone i'm not.
additionally, if i find a man physically attractive and his feelings for me are mutual, that doesn't mean we're clear for take-off. i must get to know what makes him the man that he is. i need to be able to shoot the breeze with relative ease. i need to know that chivalry is not dead. i want to be pursued and occassionally romanced. i want my hand held, my hair caressed, my cheeks and forehead kissed. i must know that he has a deep abiding love for God and His plan, and that no matter how crappy life may get he's going to stick around.
i am still hopeful.

groceries, gas, singles activities.
this is my new spending policy. i am tired of 'wasting' my hard-earned money on frivilous meals, uninteresting outings with turkeys and spending my precious time with non-e.c. (eternal companion) material. i am sorry but this is how i feel. call me selfish and snobby but i need to take a stand. time is precious and so are my resources. i know what i'm worth and i'm done putting up with turkeys. i'm ready for my eagle.

'29 March 2011 Jordan battles to regain 'priceless' Christian relics'

why does this find strike me as something important to include in my blog?
1) aside from the book of mormon, i don't ever recall hearing of any record, book, piece of literature written on metal pages.
2) these metal books were bound with metal rings and even sealed with rings as well.
3) although it doesn't prove the truthfulness of the book of mormon, of which i have no doubt of it's validity, these books open the world up to the fact that ancient records were in fact made on metal pages or plates. :)
