Google Found Me How?

Thought it was time again to share some of the crazy search terms that have resulted in people finding my blog.

• Mom black pen – there’s a mom-specific black pen?! Marketing genius or just plain weird? Jury is out on this one.
• Being single vs relationship – hope whomever is contemplating this option has figured out whether they want to stay in their relationship or not. Personally, I believe that if you are contemplating your relationship status, you shouldn’t be in a relationship. Just my opinion (and experience) though.
• I’m not happy with my current relationship status – see my comment above
• Set me free from his lies – LOL! Hunny, to Quote Dr. House “everyone lies”. All you can do is choose to put up with the lies, confront them, or move on.
• Cartoons of people marrying their dog – ummm, what?! And, how did that search term bring you to my blog? For the record, I never married my dog.
• I knew it was over when… – oh let me count the ways I could finish this statement…
• itruzie bridal – I don’t even know what this is, but how is the word “bridal” finding my blog? I didn’t even wear a bridal gown when I got married. I wore a bridesmaid dress that I had made in white. I just wasn’t a big puffy white dress kind of girl, nor could I validate spending thousands of dollars on a dress.
• Breastfeeding older babies – not sure what the searcher refers to as “older babies” but I breastfed my twins until they were 1 year old…and frankly, I’m damn proud of it! They never developed the “latch” ability so I pumped for that year, and when month 11 came around, I was so sick of it but I was determined to achieve my goal of a year, and I did!
• Marriage couple between 10 -14 years of difference – my ex-husband is 14 years older than me. It worked out “grrrrreat”. LOL!
• My ex said his door is always open for me – mine said that too. I think they all do. They lie.
• Can you fake Autism – ummm, what??!!!! Why would you want to? Seek professional mental help, please…asap.
• Shemar Moore and single – is he??? Really??? He’s on my “list”. Sorry honey…

My favs of all of them is:

• Happy I’m single – Despite being in a relationship with a wonderful man…me too hunny!! No more marriage for me!
• Autism Super Power – Hear! Hear!

 

Valentine’s Day Scrooge

I’ll admit it. I’m a bit of a Valentine’s Day Scrooge. Please don’t assume that because I’m no longer married, that’s the reason I’m a Valentine’s Day Scrooge.  I am partnered with a wonderful man.  I just don’t understand Valentine’s Day, and here are some of the questions that run through my head every year:

• Why are we expected to pay more attention to our significant others on one specific day of the year?  Shouldn’t we be making those we love our priority all the time? Personally, I spoil my kids on Valentine’s Day.
• Why does society view buying flowers, chocolate, jewellery, and dinner and a show for women as a demonstration of a man’s love for her?
• Why does it usually rest on the man’s shoulders to prove his love? Are women “not allowed” to be the one to spoil her man?
• What about same-sex couples? Is there an acceptable “standard” as to who is the one to demonstrate their love?
• Why do we prioritize relationships over being single? Why is it “better” to be married than single?
• Why do we forget about the BIGGEST and MOST IMPORTANT relationship we will always have…the one with ourselves?
• Biggest question of all…why does everything cost so much more??!!!!

Having said all that, I will admit that I look forward to the day AFTER Valentine’s Day…to break my New Year’s Resolutions with all the chocolate that’s on sale.

 

30 Day Blog Challenge – Day 1

Randomosity started a “30 day blog challenge”. I followed a couple blogs participating in the challenge in August and waited patiently to start on September 1^st as I’m a bit neurotic about wanting to start on the first of the month and thankfully, September has 30 days.

Starting today, I will be answering prompts every day so please check back often for my latest ramblings.

 

Day 1 – Your current relationship. If single, discuss being single.

Legally, I’m separated and have been for a year and a half.  I prefer referring to my relationship status as “single” as I don’t like “separated” or “divorced”.  To me, both terms scream “failure” and I prefer to start an introduction in a positive manner.

I am partnered with someone very special, but want to give him the privacy to deny all knowledge of me and my crazy little family, should he choose…LOL!
