Can't Sleep

I have so much information running through my brain...I'm tired but I can't get my mind to rest so I can sleep.

What is on my mind? Nothing and everything. I'm getting tired of watching these eHarmony commercials. They make it sound so easy. It's not easy.

Unconditional Love

I can't get over how one can love a small person so much. If I'm feeling blue or am having a panic attack all I have to do is just look at a picture of one of my Girls! Especially Elliette Victoria! She has such a sweet spirit about her! She is such a giving person! She has such sweet soul, kind spirit and loving personality! And she's only 21.5 months old!!

I hope to one day find that same kind of love in a man and have my own children! I know my special man is out there. I know he's looking for me!

Sweeet Girl

I have loved my "talks" with Elliette this week! It makes me feel good that she has wanted to talk to me. She even asked Ashley if she could talk to her Aunt Erica!!

I love you Elliette Victoria Blanchard!! I can't wait to visit you in Georgia after your Baby Sister gets here!!

So Sad!

Just found out that he has a "hot date" tomorrow night! How hot can a date be on a Wednesday night? Time will tell!

Why can't I be attracted to men that I can't have? It sucks! Sad thing is that others have said that we were perfect for each other. I guess the timing is not in sync!

update: the "hot date" was with "The Guys"!

Cook Yourself Thin Tip #2

Cook Yourself Thin

I'm going to purchase this book and see what happens. In the mean time I'm sharing these tips and tid bits with you!

Blah Blah Blah

Blah is how I've been feeling lately. Work is blah. I feel blah. Personal life is blah.

I went on two dates with a guy from eHarmony. I know sometimes it takes a while to feel connected to someone. But I wasn't feeling anything. I know I should have. I know he should be a great catch. He is full of passion for kids. He adores his dog. He is very caring and giving. But I felt absolutely nothing for this guy. He was really nice, but I wouldn't even have him as a friend to hang out with on a regular bases.

There is one guy that I can't seem to get out of my head. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't think about me that way. I think he thinks I'm a sweet girl but that about it. How do I find out what he's thinking?

Last weekend we actually slept together. I know what you are thinking...slut! But all our clothes were on. He actually asked if we could snuggle. He held me and we talked and giggled for hours. But since then...NOTHING! He sent text messages stating that he doesn't play games. I don't know how to play games with my emotions. I wear them like a shirt.

Well, my search for a counselor continues tomorrow! Maybe a professional to talk to and drugs might help me!!

I love you, Ashley!! There is no need to worry about me!
