What I learned this week...
Friday, November 12, 2010
I know, I know, I said I would write frequently but for some reason that just doesn't seem to happen. I blame the dog. No seriously, I blame the dog since he keeps eating all my shoes, bra's, underwear and whatever house plants I have left. I spend most of my time chasing him and cleaning up after him that I have no time left to write my thoughts down. Shame on you for thinking it was an excuse with no merit.
But on to the purpose of my post...
What I learned this week (and from last week as well since I forgot to post) is that:
1. No matter how much education you have or how much you know, someone will make you feel extremely stupid regularly.
2. While I am not observant in the least, sometimes this can be a good thing.
3. There are still nice good guys out there (thought it should be said since I met one and he has clued me in onto the fact that he reads my blog!).
4. Even though you love family unconditionally, this doesn't mean that you don't what to hit them with a large stick.
5. THE MOST IMPORTANT: I thought that I was pretty good at playing it cool when I didn't necessarily like someone, but as it turns out it is more than obvious even to people who are less observant than me. Uh oh!
And so life goes on....

The wrong guy...
Wednesday, November 3, 2010
I have explained in many past posts that I date the wrong guy over and over. Interestingly, each one fills a new niche and I am not making the same mistake over and over and over again, but a new mistake into a new area. Case in point. The last guy I dated, we will call him Phil, was an educated man and seemed financially responsible. But with every guy, the wheels come off at some point. With Phil, I should have seen this when he finally told me he still lived with him Mother. Yes, you read that correctly. Phil is in his mid-30's and still lives with his Momma. I tried to be understanding when he gave me the sob story about being laid off from his well paying job, going almost 8 months without a job and having to move in to keep from losing everything. OK, I am not completely heartless and tried to understand. I will point out that in my head I was screaming, "But that was over a year ago!!!". However, this stayed in my head.
Now let's jump forward months into the future. Phil and I are exclusive. He only mildly annoys me (but all guys do so nothing new there) and we see each other almost every day. At this point you would think Phil has to know me at least a little. We talk, I share and we discuss pretty much every topic. So I ask this of you, how in the h@#& did he not know that I wouldn't want to give up my career to raise babies (and yes that is plural..somewhere around 5)! In a few discussions with Phil, I learn that he wants me to cook all the time, take care of him (he stated that that is what he is looking for) and sees our relationship as 60/40 and that is a compromise for him. I actually thought my head was going to explode.
I am sure you can guess that Phil and I broke up. Big surprise there!! In a discussion after the fact I finally let him know what I thought about all of THAT.
It is during this discussion that he informs me that I am not feminine. As a woman I am baffled. I wear skirts, put on makeup and occasionally fix my hair. So what exactly does this mean? I am glad you are also wondering this!
So I ask Phil to please explain (I did not say it so nicely to him though, I am cleaning up the language of course). He then proceeds to tell me that I am not feminine because I do not want to do womanly things. And by this he means cook, clean and constantly ask him how I can take care of him. He also informs me that I am too smart, too independent and do not make men feel needed. It is this last piece that is what really got him going. Boy, did this guy go on an on about how he didn't feel needed and how I had hurt his manhood. At this point I heard quite adamantly about how I would never find a guy because I didn't know how to keep a man and how the fact that I could take care of myself was wrong for a woman. He explained that no guy wants a woman like that. Hmmm...interesting.
Well Phil and his manhood went bye-bye back to his mom's house. I guess no one can take care of him like his Mommy!!
Damn, do I pick them or what!
And ladies, he was a well-educated engineer in sheep's clothing. Beware.

Questions we all ask...well at least I do....
I like to think that we are all inquisitive about the vast things in life. I truly hope I am not strange in wondering the things I wonder. I recently started looking for books or websites that might help to answer those questions. Here are a few questions that I finally found answers to.
Why does the milk in the fridge never taste as cold as water or juices? Well, I am glad you asked. As it turns out, they are all at the same temperature but the milk has fat solids and is perceived to be not as not as cold as other liquids.
Why are labels on magazines placed upside down? Baffling, yes! Well again, I am glad you are just as curious. As is turns out, the labels are placed upside down to accommodate the mail carriers since all magazines are bound on the left-hand side. Most mail carriers (as with most people) are right-handed and therefore will pick up the magazine with their right-hand to read the label. This will turn the magazine upside down and the label right side up. Voila!
What is the difference between the ocean and the sea? This one really got me. Never understood what the difference really was. As it turns out, an ocean is larger than a sea. Thus, size delineates which term is used. Hmmm...begs to ask the question of what the parameters are.
Where do all the missing pens go? Sadly enough readers I cannot explain this one. No one seems to have the answer. I imagine there is a large place full of pens enjoying the time off. I would write that down for future reference but you can imagine what the problem is....
To all, I hope this answers some of those nagging questions you have pondered for years. I will try to answer some more of life's great mysteries in the near future. Ahhh, so many questions....
