Onward and Upward.

You can't see the smile on my face, but I have one. Yes, McScotty and I broke up yesterday. It wasn't anything official, but in my mind, we are done. d.o.n.e. He was suppose to come over at 2pm to 'talk'. At 3pm I finally sent him a text to see what was going on. He said he "trying to come over, but it was just so hard". Give me a freaking break. Your 45. Grow up. I understand you're an emotional mess, but come on buddy. I decided right then and there it was definitely the end of 'us'. After a few minutes of crying-it-out (kind of felt good), I decide this was not going to get me down. I called my Mom to tell her I would be taking her up on keeping Layla overnight so I could go out with friends. She asked if I was ok and I told her we broke up. Her reaction wasn't too surprising...she said "good. just from the bits and pieces you told me, I don't think he was right for you and things just didn't add up". Then I talked to one of BFF's. She essentially said the same thing. I realized they were so right! There were plenty of red flags along the way and at some point I let my emotions take over (vs. using my head). Need to correct that character flaw, but I guess you live and learn. Looking back, this was a good experience and good first entree back into the world of dating.

I am ready to move on...and I guess that means I'll be back on match.com soon. And this is good news for you...the blog will get a hell of a lot more interesting!

I had a great night out last night with friends and I am planning on meeting an old HS friend tonight for dinner, drinks, and dating war stories. Looking forward to it!

Onwards and upwards baby!
