Hello Everyone

To everyone who has expressed concern over my sudden disappearance, I appreciate your concern. To be honest, I have just taken a break and things have been busy at work leaving little time for goofing off.

I started to alienate myself from the world. Since my daughter's departure to college, I have become very lonely. I never realized how much I would miss her. My son is a typical boy and spends his time doing "his" thing. I do not want my children knowing how lonely I have become. I am sorry but blogging has not filled this void in my life and it did become easier to become self-absorbed.

However, I did start communicating with someone on Feb 2 and we recently met for the first time. We spend most evenings "watching" TV via phone - he watches at his house and I watch at mine and we babble back and forth regarding the show and etc. We have a lot in common. I plan on seeing him again. He seems like a nice guy. He already told me that he knows I have a lot of walls built up. He also said he can tell that I am an animal in the sack. How he knows both of these truths is beyond me.

Both of the kids feel it would be good for me to have someone in my life and support me. My son once said that he didn't want me dating until he was out of high school. He now tells me that he doesn't want me to wait but would like me to date. I feel better knowing that I have his support. It is difficult though since he does live with me 24/7.

I'll be back and I'll update you more. Thank you all and God Bless!

Oh, and to my Sisters of the Phat Pants, you guys are doing a wonderful job!!! I'm proud of you!

Til Later

Last night as I was watching the boob tube, I heard a loud thud type sound followed by another one. I immediately thought "someone just hit my car". I am pretty good at telling when my cars have been hit since I have been in a good many accidents and none my fault.

Anyway, the next sound that followed was a beating on my door. Yea, someone hit my car. It seems that my neighbor as she was backing out of her parking space (beside my car) did not back out far enough before going forward. She apparently was also upset about something so she hit the gas really hard. And she also had "Armore Alled" her steering wheel that day. (you might as well cover your steering wheel in vegetable oil)

I remained actually pretty calm and was quite pleased with my reaction. It was dark and hard to tell the extent of the damage. She hit my car hard enough to push it sideways and forward into the cement wall we park in front of. This morning I noticed that she had pulled the bumper away from the car. There are some deep dents in the bumper as well and the front has a few also.

All and all it doesn't look too bad. I go Wednesday for the estimate. She also did some damage to her car and will need repairs.

This is the third time in my driving history that I had a car hit while it was parked. The first time my car was actually demolished. All three times were neighbors of mine.... hmmmm are they trying to tell me something??
