When I Was Your Man

When I Was Your Man

Year One, Month Eleven, Day 17

It’s been exactly two years since I broke up with Robert.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

What’s funny though, is that I ran into his best friend, Sarah,  about a week ago at the Trader Joe’s near my condo.

I hadn’t seen in her more than two years…and had not talked with her since a few months…

Life's Been Good

Year One, Month Eleven, Day 15

Yes, Gentle Readers, Lizzie is back.  And I can’t believe it’s been nearly three months since my last post.

But, I have been busy.

Let me get you caught up on what has been happening in my life recently.

First, in my previous post, I was all nervous about meeting the rest of Alex’s family at his eldest…

Stuck on You

You Got It

Year One, Month 7, Day 25 >

Cupid is a sneaky little bastard.

Alex used the “L” word. (And I don’t mean “lesbian.”)

In an earlier post, I had admitted that I was falling in love with him, but  I was completely unsure about how he felt about me. He’s been through so much the last ten years, that I didn’t really think he WANTED to…

Daughters

Year 1, Month 7, Day 5

I had an interesting conversation with Alex yesterday.

I believe I have mentioned that one of his daughters is getting married at the end of July. He had not mentioned anything about my attending with him, and I was certainly not going to mention it. Since I have not met this daughter yet, I can totally…

I Can't Help Falling in Love...

I Can’t Help Falling in Love…

Year One, Month 6, Day 22

Yeah, I know.

I know what I wrote in my last post about NOT being in love in Alex…yet.

After last night’s date with him, I realized it was too late.

I’m in love.

I’m scared, hopeful, forgetful.

I can’t keep my thoughts off him for very long…and I’m not just remembering the sex.

I think about his smile…how…

Year 1, Month 6, Day 19

Okay, Gentle Readers. Time to bring you up to date on things with Alex.

But, first, I ended things with my FWB, Elliott. I took the bull by the proverbial horn a couple of weeks ago and told him I couldn’t continue sleeping with him. He was very kind and sweet… and told me he thought something was going on……

Year 1 Month 6 Day 7

Again, I’m going to post some excerpts from a couple of blogs that hit home with me.  Not because I’m  crazy n…but because of situations my brother keeps finding himself in.

Without giving away too many details, he ALWAYS finds himself in relationships with bat shit crazy women. And it causes much stress and…

Santa Barbara

I was blissfully unaware of what had happened in Santa Barbara until this morning.

Normally, I pay close attention to news, and read several online versions of national papers daily. My excuse is it was a holiday weekend; I was looking forward to a birthday celebration for my two-year old nephew and a long weekend with Alex. (Yes…that is going very well…and I’ll fill you in on developments with…

Good Feeling

Year One, Month Five, Day 18

Well, now that I have let y’all in on my latest romantic victim “Alex,” I’ll go ahead and fill you in on some of the complications in this budding relationship.

I mentioned in my last post that he was the same age as my brother.  He is average height (about 5’10″), has salt and pepper hair, blue eyes,…

Life's Been Good

Year One, Month 5, Day 16

I know, I know, I know.

I’ve been a bad Lizzie the last couple of months to not keep you up to date on what’s been going on in my life.

So, Gentle Reader, let me catch you up on my doings.

First, I became a great-aunt for the second time about seven weeks ago.  A beautiful baby girl.  I was actually…

Sorry for the cliché Journey song…but it is perfect for this post. LB

Turning fifty is a milestone; one I will celebrate A LOT in the coming months since most of my friends are hitting the half century mark this year.

In fact, I went to my first fiftieth birthday bash last night.

Last night’s birthday girl…

Welcome back, Gentle Reader.

I’m surprised you’ve returned, considering how gloomy my last posts were.   I guess all the wintry weather and Valentine’s Day got to me more than I realized.

But, I’m over it now.

I guess it was another case of the menopause blues.  :)

When I woke up this morning, I could see the…

I want to do something REALLY, REALLY stupid.

I want to get back in touch with Troy.

You’re right, you’re right, I know you’re right.

It’s Valentine’s Day. (And tomorrow is Half Price Chocolate Day…whoo hoo!)

My second Valentine’s Day without a sweetheart. Yes, I do have a regular “fuck buddy”…

I’m going to keep this blog post short and sweet.

We have been out three times, and on our fourth date this past…

In my last post, I mentioned that I had a first date with a Facebook friend that evening.
