comments

I seem to be having trouble recently, normally I comment often on the blogs I read. I don't comment every time as sometimes I don't have anything either useful or funny to say. But very often I do. However recently I have been reading blogs and then not commented, I seem to have a kind of comment apathy about me at the moment. Not sure why as I am still enjoying the blogs I'm reading.

Not sure how much I shall be blogging in next few weeks as my life appears to be getting busier by the day. I am off out tonight with a friend who I have not mentioned on here for a long time. Friday I'm off to join in the adult fun at the playhouse. I could go on the motorbike ride tomorrow but feel I should spend some time with the kids. there are also the other social events I have signed up for. I am registering to do creative writing course which is on thursday evenings and also joining Gym that and doing my computer course and fitting in work will keep me busy.

social evening

I belong to several dating sites but not really paid much attention to any of them for ages. why would I as I have plenty of lovely men in my creche already. But over recent months a number of friends have recomended a site I had not heard of before. One of my RL friends met her boyfriend through the site last year. I joined a few months ago but wasn't impressed. I chatted to a few men they were either weird or just wanted to discuss my bust size. Now I didn't join this particular site for sexual reasons so I was not going to get into sexual talk too early on. I didn't visit the site much for a few months. But in recent weeks as I have had little to occupy my mind I have been more of a presence on the site. This particular site has various social events where singles can meet up. Last night was a pub meet in the neighbouring city. I decided to go along. By yesterday there were 55 people signed up for the evening. I have been chatting to one man (biker) every day for a week or so he was going to be there so I knew there would be at least one friendly person there. Before I set out I noticed that a new person had viewed my profile and I
recognised the picture but not the name, checked out the profile and knew who it was. Chip, who I had met for a drink earlier this summer. He was also going to the same evening.

Eventually I find my way to the pub, I am greeted at the door by the organiser who issues me with a name sticker and introduced me to another woman who has been to a few events now. we went inside while the smokers stayed outside. A few more new people arrived and we all sat together chatting and drinking (I was very good and stuck to fruit juice all evening). we were having a good chat and a laugh. One guy told me that my photos on the site don't do me justice. I had been worrying before I arrived that everyone would look so much better than me but I soon realised this was not the case. I saw chip but we didn't speak only to say 'hello' in passing he was with a very serious looking woman. I met biker who seems very nice. we have exchanged more messages since and just had a chat on IM for the first time. He is organising a motorbike trip 40 miles down the coast on tuesday evening. I am not sure if I want to go or not. I do want to ride pillion again as it has been 20+ years since the last time. But not sure about going so far on a first ride especially as it is an evening and I have work next day. My kids don't want me to go but have voted 2 v 3 that I should go to the adults only evening at the play house which is full of slides and ball pits etc. other events that I can go to are a quiz night and also the group's first speed dating event. so thats the next few weeks taken care of.

Oh and as I got into my car to go home the radio was playing my theme tune........ Lady in red ....so of course I opened the window and turned the volume up as I drove out of the car park.
