Yahoo personals suck

Ok, so you put in all this info on yourself and the dream guy you want to meet. Then you wait for a second and up pops 1500 people who have the same interests as you do. But then what? You can send them a cheesey little message that says "hey, I didn't subscribe so I can't really talk to you and I'm a real looser now!" And then they come back with another cheesey reply and thats it. end of the line no looking back or forward to actually meeting these people. Sucks the big one.
I did find this interesting group of people called Hashers. I want to join in on the fun but I don't run. I really want to join in but I don't think I will go alone and since I have no friends I guess I won't be going. But don't be sad. I love to live vicariously through other peoples experiences. Thats why I love to watch the real world on mtv. I never had that kind of lifestyle. anyway the hashing fromwhat I gather on the web is a drinking game for people who have a running problem. sounds fun right? It goes like this... one person is the hare and they go out and leave a trail with chalk or flour marks for the hounds to follow. shortly after the hare leaves the hounds start running the trail in search of the various beer stops and when they finnally finish they all get together and drink. I want to go so bad...

Baby Back

Well I got my Baby back last night. Although he's not my baby anymore! I picked up my 11year old in the pouring rain. I gave him the biggest hug and planted a smooch on his cheek (yes, right in front of all the other boyscouts) and he didn't even mind a bit!
He told us (his brother, a friend, and I) that they had seen 5 bears and a herd of about 200 Buffalo. They went to Yellowstone on Wed. and he even brought back a shirt for me. He also got a magnet for the fridge for his brothers. He was so happy about the trip but he said that he was glad to be at home. I guess the thought of a warm shower and a bed was enough to be happy about.
He told us of how they had packed up their tents the night before they were leaving cause they wanted them to be dry and they were going to sleep under a tarp, but it rained and they ended up sleeping in the mess hall!
They had themes for each day and their troop did all of them. One was Hawaii and they all wore grass skirts, another was ninja and they all wore black material for belts and masks.
He liked the plane ride and they even got to play in a little snow. He said that he got a little homesick, which I told him to expect but he made it through.
I am so happy to have him home and glad that I pushed for him to go. Before the trip he was ready to quit and I sort of made him go. But if you ask him now he would say "What you talkin' 'bout wilis?".
Thats about all for now, oh, except that my son has informed me that I need to go to a bar to find a guy. Only because he wants his own room.. I guess there is more to this then I thought. It started out that he wants his own room, I informed him that I am the adult and that right now we cant afford a three bedroom house and then he told me that I need to find a guy. I asked where and he says "I don't know, go to a bar." He also said that the guy would have to be nice like me. How sweet is that?

Memories

This past weekend was supposed to be great...I had planned on going camping with the boys and spending saturday canoeing and biking. Well the damn rain really bumed that idea. So come sunday I was like "we're going, rain or not". The kids loaded into the car and we grabbed breakfast and gas at the Mobil. I started heading for the local conservancy to see if they still had boats there. But, on the way I could tell that the kids really didn't want to go. so I asked them what they wanted to do. Off to the mall in Ft. Myers we went.
It was pouring when we got there. I had no stroller with me cause I have a flat tire and its in the trunk. Yes, I'm riding around on a donut! Anyway I did bring the baby carrier thingy that you wear. I love using that thing. Makes me feel so close to him. We didn't get too far when the boys spotted a photo booth. We waited for this guy to finish with his son (which was about ten min.!) Then we realized that we didn't have enough dollar bills. So we set out to find some change. Thing is the only stores that were open were the game stores. I was not about to by a game so the boys just puttered about for 20 or so min. I guess the mall does't actually open until 12 and we got there about 10 after 11.
Ok so on to the Memories...We come across some shoe stores and we are looking for shoes for my 11 year old. He comes out and says "can I get a pair of Converse, Mom?" Now I almost reached out and kissed him! You see, when I was in High School (13 years ago) I used to wear Chuck Taylors. I loved them. We (my friend Rachel and I) had a couple of pairs each. I have loving memories of them. We favored the red ones the most. Now I would have loved for my son to get the red ones but, he went for the black. The great thing about all of this is...we wear the same size shoe. can I get a Hell Yeah!!
Otherwise not much going on, except I am sending my 11 year old off to Boy Scout camp tonight. He's going for ten days to Wyoming. They will get to visit Yellowstone next wednesday. I hope he doesn't forget anything! I will miss him.

Drop

You can watch it come down the street

at 4 o'clock on the dot.

It makes you want to read a book

curled up on a cot.

You wonder who is so unhappy

to make it want to fall.

Maybe you can stop their crying

with a simple phone call.

The stores are always crowded

whether they sell food or leather.

But I simply feel miserable

until whoever is crying feels better.

It often makes you tired

and you want to turn out the light.

Some are even superstitious

and they won't get on their flight.

But have no fear I've figured it out

no one is crying after all.

It's simply God watering his plants

so they can grow big and tall.

Short week

I like it when there's a long weekend and the week goes by fast. It has been raining since tuesday. ugh!
I broke down and called a friend of mine that I have not talked to in at least two years. She has only heard about me having a baby through a mom in scouts that we both knew in high school. I really miss hanging out with her. Her husband was always trying to set me up with his friends. We used to have good times. When I got back with Rick he would not let me talk to her anymore and I let it happen cause I did not want any trouble. stupid! She has a little girl that I have only seen once in a car seat, never even held her. I feel really depressed now. I gave her my # but I don't think she will call. Im a terrible friend, always have been. now that I think about it, when I would go over their house it was almost like they had to entertain me. I never give anything back. sucks! the big one.
I guess I need to work on some things. You don't say?
I was instant messaging my sister in law when I got a message form this guy named Ken. He started to flirt with me. It was fun. Then he made plans for us to meet and wanted me to nail down a time and place. I gave him a place and time and told him I would meet him there. I really had no intention of doing that so I kept my prior engagement. He IM me today and asked where I was. I told him the sitter cancelled. What was he expecting? I lied my ass off to him. Not only about the sitter but I told him that I had a twin and a yellow mustang. He must be DAFT to think that I would meet with him. How many other girls has he picked up this way? Gross
I hope he writes back ; 0
