Gotta get the hang of this blog thing...

Believe it or not this is my first blog ever! Well I guess I did a couple on myspace a couple of years ago but I don't think they really count. So I have been inspired by my current single status to start officially blogging. It's a good way to occupy my time, vent, connect, get some thoughts out...



I have always been in some sort of relationship since high school really. Mostly long term relationships with a couple of short ones sprinkled in to keep things exciting. I tend to always stay on good terms with the exes so they NEVER go away! This is something I'm definitely working on now! I have virtually cut off communication with every ex. That may seem dramatic but it's time to move on from my past and start fresh and that is what I'm doing. This time in my life is the first time I have been completely alone and while it IS lonely, I feel refreshed to not have the baggage weighing me down. I feel like I can truly have a new beginning!!



As the saying goes, my clock is definitely ticking. I am 29 years old and while that's not old, I think most women can agree it is kind of a freak out age if you are not married or at least on your way to being married. I am approaching the big 30!! I am looking forward to the more stable 30's but ugh! I didn't want to be there alone. So along with weeding out the exes I am trying some new things. 1. I am connecting more to my spiritual side. This has actually been a great change in my life. I feel I have more of a sense of purpose and meaning in my life through building a relationship with God. 2. I am working on my physical health. It's true that if you start to improve your physical health that you innately start to feel better emotionally and you develop more confidence (which from what I hear is always attractive to the opposite sex :). 3. I have entered the world of online dating. I joined eharmony last week. So far I kind of like the site. It's pricey but the guys seem to be pretty serious about connecting with someone. I have one guy in particular that is striking my interest and a couple of others that have "requested communication" but that I'm not too interested in. I'm sure I will be discussing eharmony a lot since it will be my main source in meeting guys. I have a cousin and her mom that have both met their husbands on eharmony, so maybe I will be lucky too! There was this one guy that matched with me that was exactly me. It was so weird! ALL of his answers on his profile were the exact same as mine! He even has a twin brother just like I do! It was too creepy that I didn't even what to request communication. I know eharmony is supposed to be good about matching with people like you but that was just a little overboard!



Well I gotta go do some work. Yeah... work on Labor Day! It's just not right!
