https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/I don't claim to be an expert on these three, but I do like talking about them...hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/485114I spoke with my grandmother today. I truly believe that (sometimes) when we need things bad enough, they appear (or happen). Today, I really needed to hear what my grandmother said to me. Sometimes you need someone to smack you in the face with a little reminder in order to get you back on track....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/484926So here I am in Rome- the Eternal City. I don't want to leave...don't want to go back to what life was. But then, life will always chase you down. Just when you think you have the answers, the man comes and guns you down again. That, my friends, is the way it is. Perhaps you all have it figured...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/470444I received some sage advice from a fellow blogger that I refused to listen to: Never get involved with a fellow blogger. What kind of a dumb-ass am I? I read the advice...didn't listen. It's amazing how men take on the position of "the victim" with me, but ultimately, they end up being the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/469922My nerves are scrambled eggs tonight. I started packing for my trip back to Texas-and then it's on to Europe from there. God knows it's been a year of change for me..and learning, and growing pains, and stumbling, and getting up, and stumbling again, and then crossing another hurdle. It's...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/468764At some point, if you have made the same mistakes I have, you realize that what you are doing is not working for you. It's like if I tried to rake leaves with a shovel....I could keep trying, and I may even catch some leaves (just not those pesky small ones), but it would take me twice as long...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/468516I had a good (and maybe slightly one-sided) discussion with a co-worker of mine today. I haven't seen her in over a week, so it was time that we had our weekly session of gab so that we could catch up. I took a deep breath and told her that I had seen Jason last week and summed up my feelings and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/468295I have a hunch that all of this good-bye nonsense is happening for a reason. A good friend of mine says I'm subconsciously "cleaning house" to prepare for a new arrival....I don't want to get my hopes up on that one. All the men, all the heartbreaks, and now all of the....good-byes. There will be...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/467654It was so hard to hear my friend talking about him tonight. She's been struggling with an emotional semi-relationship that she's gotten herself into with a 33-year old who is going through a divorce. She cut it off once. He came back. She accepted. He avoided. She was hurt. She cut it off again....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/465346I have managed to single-handedly sabotage every male romantic relationship that has come across my path in the last year. My friends keep trying to convince me that I've done the right thing. I'm going to Europe for four months (or maybe more) anyway. What's the point of starting something now?...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RedScribe6213/460138I am obsessing about everything that I could possibly obsess about these days. Why is my love life always a wreck? Why can't I forget about Jason? What do I do about Landon? What the hell career path will I take? What will my trip to Europe be like? Will I make friends? Will I feel alienated? Will...
