Dating at 34 1/2 Part 2
Pick up line via dating website:
"you look like a teddy bear, you smile so pretty"
REALLY?!?!? No wonder you're single buddy!
Now, what I wanna know is do I look like a teddy bear BECAUSE I smile so pretty? Or I look like a teddy bear cause I'm round and squishy and in addition, I have a great smile.
Either way, you don't tell a girl she looks like a teddy bear. It's call curvy! I'm not all that squishy either. Call me a teddy bear again and I'll jab you with my bony elbow!

ImPossible
To steal a quote from my new favorite blog ImPossible Stories....
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I'm possible"! - Audrey Hepburn
The blog is filled with stories that embrace that quote.

Inspired
Okay!
That's it!
Time for action!
My friends are inspiring me!
(Just so you know how enthused I am, I am using lots of !!!!!!!!)
A girlfriend posted a picture of herself on Facebook today. She has been working her tush off, literally! Another girlfriend just finished her 1st half marathon. A girl I went to college with (the 1st time) looks amazing after working her tush off too!
I need will power, discipline, and incentive to come to my house.
I moved the treadmill into the living room. It gets dusted. I used to use the one in the workout room in the apartment complex quite often. Why can't I do something with mine other than clean it?
No more soda. Drink water. Treadmill one hour twice a week (to start).
Now, most of the people that read this (both of you) are friends with me in real life so would you please support me by cell phone text "1 hour walk today?"
Thank you :)
Maybe if I get brave I'll put a before picture of me up on my blog..... or not!
That's it!

Dating at 34 1/2
I've jumped back into dating after an 11 year and four kid hiatus.
Don't that just make it sound all fun and excitin'!?
I thought about turning this blog into a chronicled version of my dating life. You could laugh with me, cry with me, cringe with me. Lots of laughing though because you just have to, sometimes, at situations. I, also, say REALLY?!?!? a lot during this whole 'process'. Boy, did that ever sound all reality show-ish!
I can see it now~ you guys (my sister-in-law and my girlfriend in Kansas because those are really the only two reading this thing these days) cheering me and my two dates in one day day or cringing at the thought of kissing the guy who physically reminds me of my dad. Both good looking but just too uncomfortable for me to think of! Eventually, by word of mouth, I'd get another three readers. Then that would escalate into my blog becoming a national phenomenon. In the world of Cattigan, things like going from five readers to a phenomenon really do happen just like that. I'd be something similar to what Bridget Jones was for the single woman. The Today Show, Oprah, People Magazine! Once again, World o' Cattigan.
Let's get back to reality here, so I write about my dating life and then for some reason one of the guys I wrote about finds it and reads it. It so would not turn out pretty and Matthew McConaughey like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days ended. You know the scene at the end when he chases her on his motorcycle onto the bridge and asks her where she's going? (Insert sigh here)
Reality: It would be Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber chasing and stalking me. And that would just suck!

Not So Domestic Diva!
The name of my blog seems so funny now. Domestic Diva, hardly! My “single” life revolves around kids and school. Something else new this year is that I send everyone off on the big yellow bus at 8:36 am and don’t see them again until 3:49 pm. I spend my days doing school work and lots of it, curling up with a trashy novel, or napping- just because I can!
The days of sparkling, shiny, Clorox-ed appliances are over. The toilet bowl has become a science experiment and the kitchen floor needs to be swept badly, not to mention washed, that questionable sticky spot that everyone has been walking around is really starting to bother me. I clean in spurts now rather than “Tra-la-la everyday is cleaning day because that’s my job as a stay at home wife and mother and the house will sparkle when my man gets home- la-la”. Can you hear and see me singing as a twirl around the living room in full make-up, hair, and dress a la 1950’s?
The only things twirling around in my mind now are Cameron’s family project is due next week and I still have to track down a shoe box for it…. Ooooh, new shoes! Or the breakfast dishes are in the dishwasher, the floor was vacuumed day before yesterday, all the kids’ toys and accoutrements are in their room, and the toilet can be done tomorrow because I have five chapters in my Cultural Anthropology text book to read before Thursday. Life doesn’t get much better!
Have I mentioned we are moving into a house so I need to pack AND I’m trying the whole dating thing?!?!? So, basically I sit around doin’ nothing.... wait, where was I going with this? I know I had a point somewhere...... Damn!

Belly Button
The shortened version of what a belly button is:
A scar
Or at least that's what I read on the web and told Grace.
Thanks, Leah for the extended version!

A year
What a difference a year makes! So much has happened, so much has changed, so much I have wanted to say and write, so much I have missed out on, so many friends' blogs I haven't read. Where to begin?!?!?
I wrote to my cousin's daughter something wonderful....
XXXOOO's! Life ain't so bad, my darling! If your mama and I survived, so can you and sister. It's in the genes. You come from a long line of strong, powerful, kick ass, gorgeous women and don't you forget it!
Now only to have it tattooed on my forehead so I can remember it for myself.
