When they get that, they will deliver it. the ones that need to read this are the boys so they know what a woman wants. When they get that, they will deliver it.

I love your style - very truth-to-the-heart womanly/humanly writing. Can you share why you left RG husband and ran away to Florida? I have always wondered....

Can you share why you left RG husband and ran away to Florida? I have always wondered….

It took me quite some time to find a man, and not a boy. I hope you enjoy the Keys. It's freezing here on the opposite corner of the country. How true.

Christine--Thank you, and best to you as well. I will definitely check out the site. JoeinVegas--This was kind of a bad one. Obviously, my readers only know the part of the story I share. It was so much more, I thought. I thought wrong--again--and had invested way too much in it. So, on to 2009. L--If it offered any insight, I am glad. Happy 2009 to you! Jenni--Please come see me and bring those cute kids and best baby with you, and of course, hubby too. Thank you my friend. Dodgergirl--Hope DC is treating you better. New starts definitely force one to climb a learning curve. I just had no idea how high I'd have to climb, and how far I could fall. Good luck to you. Teeetleworm--Boys....ugh. And while the "man" who is always willing to pick up my pieces is being extremely sweet and supportive, he has to remain a friend at this point,much as he would like it otherwise. I am just too sad and numb from what I thought was going to be a wonderful relationship that went so bad. Andrea--I know. Texting--I hate it when it becomes the sole means of saying: "Hey beautiful! Hopefully I'll see you later after work." And then nothing. Nice. Laundramatic--Oh, he's a great man, but I cannot muster the energy or emotions that he deserves. He is hopeful, and I will likely make him upset when he discovers (although he pretty much gets it) that I am just not there for him or anyone right now. Ex-RM--Upset Waitress and I were just talking about you last night! And yes, a prince--a really good prince--would be lovely, all in good time. Kim–You are a very smart “man” :)

Jaz–Listening to one’s gut–absolutely key.

And why does the learning curve seem so steep, nowadays? It's just too bad that immature "boys" don't have an "L" embossed on their foreheads. Hope the next frog is really a prince. You could really use a prince right about now, HUH? We all seem to have so much to learn, RG. And why does the learning curve seem so steep, nowadays?

Sounds a whole lot like my last boyfriend versus the person I just met. Thanks for sharing!

You need a MAN. Boys wil #*@k you up. Men have miles, but also have feelings and understanding (that comes with miles). If he helps you hang shades he is showing signs of domestication (OMG can we say that?). Forget boys, all they want is what they can get now. Best of luck with your new digs and your new journey. I will continue to follow your stumbles (and you will have them-thanks for sharing) and your accomplishments. Smile, a lot. It attracts good things and good people.

I moved to D.C. (husband got a job here) a couple of years ago and being so far from my supportive and generally awesome friends has been tough. I've made some mistakes on who to trust along the way as well, but at least we learned the lesson in the end, right?
