...in the shoe

Why does Snoop Dog carry an umbrella?

But first...a post.

I had such a productive weekend. I think the clearing of that ginormous obstacle made me want to clear everything else as well. My car smells yummy, my house is fresh and clean and my yard has been de-pine needled. (ok at least the most obvious part of it. There is a little more effort to be extended there...er...a lot.) Anyway, I also got to thinking that this is my most favorite time of year. Although I do like all of the seasons, but this one with the colors and such, brings on a feeling of warmth or being close enough to feel it. Even though it isn't so warm outside. And I haven't taken a single picture. Not one. Hello? I need to do that.

Speaking of close, and yes it is time for a small whine about relationships and the lack thereof, I was talking with someone about something a personal friend of theirs is going through. (Would this constitute as gossip? I mean doesn't gossip have to be speaking with someone and they know this person as well and you are spreading personal information? I hope not 'cause service on Sunday was about "Minding your Mouth". And reminders that there is never a reason to tell confidential information, not even in the ruse of well meaning Prayer.) Anyway, he was telling me about this particular situation. Where a man and wife were having some marital issues. The issues? The husband was cheating on his wife for a second time with the same woman. He had told my friend in confidence, that he wasn't going to give up his extra marital affair for anyone and his wife would just have to live with it, even though he had just told the Pastor of their Church that he was going to stop. Wow.

But you know what bothered me even more? Was that this husband was 40 years old and his mistress is 22. Twenty-Two! Ugh..I swear it gets me everytime I hear about how someone is seeing someone half their age. I like to think that age has nothing to do with maturity, it is gained through experience. And ya know, I get that attraction doesn't necessarily have anything to do with maturity. But my gosh, what in the world are single women my age supposed to do when the single men our age and older, think we are too old? 37 isn't old...is it? I am more confident and feel better than I ever did in my 20's. I am getting the feeling that I can't win. Which is too bad. 'Cause I would make someone a good girlfriend. :P
