Dating After 40: Do Any of Us Really Know What We Are Doing?

Hey ya'll how's it going? Ok that's about as country as this girl gets - except when she's had 4 cocktails, 2 LITs, a shot and a beer. Miranda updated you on last Saturday night's debauchery but she wanted to let me tell my part of the story myself - and if you're used to my classic weirdo stories this one won't let you down. Miranda and I had a couple of drinks at her house and then headed out to a very....unique bar in the city where she lives. To give you an idea of this place I'll try and set the scenery - the gravel parking lot is full of pickup trucks, SUVs covered in mud and harleys - the bar has no real entrance you just basically take your chances and pick one of the several nondescript white doors, kind of like russian roulette - many of the bar's patrons were over the age of 55 and several were sporting applique Christmas sweaters - a skeleton riding a harley and flipping off the patrons was their idea of decorating for the holidays - ...

Sorry I’ve been a little MIA lately.   After my weekend of debauchery I’ve just been busy with work. Ok not so much work as much as online shopping for boots and day dreaming with Gwyn about our upcoming trip to Hawaii. I’m pleased to report that the latest challenge is yet again making big waves on what little remains of Team Miranda.   SoCo has been texting and Facebooking me like crazy.   I don’t know that he’s over the whole Friend thing (I still can’t believe he straight out called me on that) or that he just doesn’t care. He knows I have the kids right now so he’s not proposed hanging out and I don’t honestly know what I’ll say when he does.   College Crush is back on the upswing.   He’s been texting me a lot lately being his usual entertaining self.   Funnily enough, Duckie and I have been trying to hunt down this one particular item as a Santa present for Ladybug.   It happens to be in stock in College Crush’s town so tonight I asked him...

Well it seems like Gavin moving his gf into his house was a bad idea...who would have guessed that outcome? Certainly not me...nope, never once did I suggest the stupidity of that plan. He's been here a lot since she moved in a few days ago. He called me at work today to ask what time I would be home from school and if he could just come over and hang out at my place because he was being yelled at by her at home. I said, "sure" because we weren't home and I knew no one would have to listen to any bitching. I will say that to his credit, he's not being a whiny bitch about it (probably because he knows he would get NO sympathy). He came back over tonight after I got home and just hung out in my room for a while. I just let him be in there. He was high (which is wearing a little on my nerves again) and he wanted to watch porn (which I'm also over). I made no attempt to engage with him because I was busy doing things. I think it's driving him a little nuts t...

One of these days I'm really going to miss my days off in the middle of the week. Today was a crazy boy day...literally. Gavin showed up this morning first thing for coffee, only he was sick and dry heaving so he heaved on my back deck and then finally went home to rest. He called about 2 hours later and asked if he could come over and have me type up some things for him. I guess in addition to part-time gf, I'm also his administrative assistant. It's a good thing I dictate well. (ROFL) Between his morning visits, Clark IMs me to tell me that he has bad news. Uh-oh...you never want to hear an ex-lover tell you he has bad news because it usually means you need medical attention. Now as luck may have it, I went yesterday for my bi-annual STD check up and as it turns out what he had to tell me did not require my need for medical attention. It seems his behavior did in fact get him kicked out of the military. We had a weird IM convo. I actually feel sorry for him, but he shut...

Have you passed on an opportunity to have sex with anyone that now you wish you’d slept with? Ummmm, Miranda doesn't really pass up opportunities to sleep with anyone. I was telling Gwyn last night I might need a chastity belt to stick with this challenge thing. - Miranda One time I had the chance to sleep with one of Justin Timberlake's backup singers in Memphis but I didn't as he was sort of a big fatty - I still wish I would've just to see if I could've met Justin. And yes, he really was a backup singer I saw him singing about a year later on TV at Justin's NYC concert performance. All I could think was damn I was so close yet so far away!!!! - Gwyn Not really...I've pretty much done anyone I've wanted. There are a select few one night stands that I would like to have revisited, but that's about it. -Jules What is your most embarrassing sexual moment? I can't remember any embarrassing moments per se. I've had sex I'm embarrassed ...

We have a man down...I repeat...man down. Gavin called me this afternoon to tell me that he's sick. He sounded sick. I felt sorry for him and almost offered to take him some medicine and then I remembered he HAS a gf to do that kind of stuff. Since he's NOT my bf, I don't have to take care of him because there is nothing worse than a sick man. They act like no one in life has ever had a cold/the flu/etc. before them. He called back  and asked if he could come over later and watch some TV and make soup here for himself. I said "I guess so...", but really I meant to say was "No way man, keep your germs at home.". Anyway, he came over much later and brought me some chicken soup that he'd made at his house (yay!). You got to love a guy that's sick and brings you food. IN light of that development, I did give him some cold medicine and babied him some. He ate, watched TV, and just hung out before crawling home...bless his heart. Here's the la...

Friday night started with me planning to stay in.   I was in my yoga pants chilling on the couch when one of my girls texted me and essentially demanded I go out with her to a new bar in our town.   I’m never one to turn down a girl’s night so I strapped on my going out duds and got right on it. We get to this club and first up meet this random friend of hers might just be the most redneck girl I’ve ever met.   This bar is actually pretty nice though the stripper pole for the patron’s use is certainly of questionable taste.   After a few minutes SoCo texts me asking what I’m up to. Now I’ve been trying to figure him out and whether or not he knows about the Friend .   I was certain he knew because he was acting distant but then all that changed this week so I was thinking maybe not. Anyway, I told him where I was and he said he was out of town at the moment but he’d try to get back and come to the bar.   Not 10 minutes after I got that text then who d...
