Is This Thing On?

Excuse me for being absent for so long; it seems I was distracted by a short, chubby taquito.

As you can imagine, I have been a busy busy busy girl. Between working, family, friends, volunteering, hosting charity events and cooking the occasional 5 star meal in lingerie a girl needs to take a break!

Truth be told I was (also) very involved in a very intense relationship with a very many Broadway-style neon warning signs and mammoth sized red flags that I chose to ignore in the name of fun or commitment or a plain old gosh darn it I can make this work attitude. Of course that only lasts for so long and I finally erupted with the (very serious mind you) issues that bothered me. It is not a healthy thing to hold that stuff inside. Holding things inside tends to cause, eventually, an opposite reaction; eruption. And when this occurs what needs to be said doesn’t come out the way you would say it if you were to have, let’s just say, a civilized conversation, but more in the manner of verbal projectile pea soup vomit. After that I was forced to consider why I chose to ignore certain things and why for the love of all things fabulous was I trying SO hard to make something work when, clearly, it wasn’t going to and it was better off not working and blah blah de blah di blah blah. In the end I was hurt … badly ... because I (yes it’s true, even I) could not stop a lazy person from being lazy, solve a substance abuse problem or inspire someone to be more selfless of spirit. Well I suppose we all have our limitations. *grumble*

So now that that’s done, let’s get on to the good stuff and I’ll tell you about the men (and I, occasionally, use the term loosely) I’ve met recently …
