I am a happy kid. I just got a new car. My boyfriend is awesome. My only problem is my allergies to the fresh cut lawn.

You guys have seen me in make up and without. I never wear heavy make up. I prefer Bare Minerals because my boyfriend has no interest in waiting five years for me to do makeup. I can do Bare Minerals in 5 minutes. Also we go hiking and such and regular make up melts and drips off. My boyfriend votes for no make up. I wear flavored lip gloss and that's it. He doesn't like it rubbing off on pillow cases, etc.

Hi Everyone,

As you all know I was engaged and broke it off in April. I have dated several people since then. I have decided not to date until January. I think I need a mourning period. That was a very hard thing moving to Texas and then calling off the marriage and moving back. I did not give myself time to mull it over and let it register. And before him I had a live in boyfriend until August of 2011 for a year. And I got with him before my divorce was even final. I feel like I have just been jumping from relationship to relationship and I really need some down time.

I will date from 40 (1 year younger than me) to 57 (16 years older than me). I don't know why I picked those magic numbers. I just did.

I have to lose 40 pounds because I was diagnosed as borderline diabetic.

I hope I spelled that right. Since I moved, I have been going on dates with all different ethnic backgrounds. I did not do that when I was younger.

I have a date on Sunday with a guy from the Philippines. I am looking forward to that. He gets all my jokes which most people do not.

Anyway, it's been an interesting experience.

Anybody else branching out of their comfort zone?

Hi Everyone,

I got diagnosed as borderline diabetic this week. I have to lose the few extra pounds I have gained and I have to exercise. Exercise is hard because I sprained my ankle very badly in the winter and I thought it was better and it's reinjured.

Anyway, it's scary.

Guys who say they like everything about me and then proceed to try to change everything about me. What is that about????

People who are in the past

Are in the past for a reason

If someone did you wrong,

bringing them back up

in conversation gives them power.

It takes them out of the past

and let's them exist in

the here and now.

Living in the moment

Let's you enjoy the

time you have now.

All we have is now.

No one knows if

they have a future.

You have to live and dream

of who you have now

in your life.

Those who currently fill your

heart with joy

and your head with dreams.

Each moment in the present

moment is precious.

To precious to

be wasted on ills of the

past.

Sometimes
I wake up
in my bed,
not alone
but with a
tan arm
around me instead.

I look over
at the cascade
of black hair
draped over the
pillow

The chiseled
handsome face

The butterfly kiss
Thick black eyelashes

The full
succulent earlobes

The strong lean torso

The athletic muscular legs

I stay very still
careful not to wake him

Soaking in the moment.

Dear guy friend friends,

You can start calling again. I broke up with that dude so there is no one to be jealous.

I have always dated older men. The one that gets me is when a boyfriend calls me "Kiddo". I am used to it because most people could not guess my age until recently but when someone you are sleeping with calls you "Kiddo", it's a little creepy.

Hi Minglers,
I convinced my best bud in the world mikedh92 AKA Michael to join Mingle. He is looking for friends and a nice lady in TN. I would appreciate it if those who are my friends would give him a warm welcome and embrace him. You could not ask for a better friend. He is my shoulder to cry on about things I don't trust anyone else about and my greatest cheerleader. Yes, we are just platonic friends.
Love to all,
Terri

That is one of the reasons you are one of my best Mingle friends. You NEVER give up and ALWAYS keep trying.

Congrats. Good luck. I know after the transplant and job, the good Texas woman will follow.

Hi everyone,

Though it's very early in the relationship,

I found myself a local guy. His mom is thrilled I am a nice Jewish girl.

I am still looking for friends. Please read my profile.

Did you miss me?

As you all know my ex in Texas kept my cat, Big Vinnie. Well, I got a new cat today. Max the Mighty. He is orange and white. I got him a Harley Davidson collar. Seemed fitting. He has a great personality. They had a special at the shelter and because he was a neutered adult, he was only $19. I made a donation anyway.

I adopted another rat. Big huge cuddly one named Tigi after the shampoo because he was dirty and that's what I washed him with.

My life is actually going pretty good. My meds are good. I am living in a nice place. My family is getting along. But I just feel like there are no trust worthy men under 50 anymore. I have younger guy friend friends who are worth something but there is a line in the sand. I just feel like I make such bad decisions and maybe I should just adopt a cat and live as a nun.
