Facebook Frenzy

So facebook has become a phenom which most mormons embrace. It's not 'myspace' and is a little bit more private and professional. It's 100% okay and I see nothing wrong with it. The church has not denouced facebook in any way. My sis-in-law disapproves but that's a whole nothing issue in itself.

Facebook also has become a hub of LDS single networking. I'm sent invites for activites and invitations to join groups. I fall into the "mid single" category and I love that fact that they have this. They have events, dances, firesides, lunches etc etc etc. You don't even have to know anybody you just have to search under facebook and find your local LDS single site and invite yourself. A great resource to use to make new friends and get yourself out there. There are facebook groups in every city and if not in yours than you should take the incentive and create one. The best thing about facebook.......You can also surf the pictures.

Dee's Dance Review


So I did it. I did what I said I would never do. I went to the dreaded dance. Despite the fact that Curious Georgie had an awful experience at her first time, she is the one who FYI'd me to dances here in Utah called "Dee's Dances." I had asked other people and they had said they were indeed better than church dances, so when my girlfriend from my ward asked me to go I was somehow willing to go check it out. So here's my review. Keep in mind, I did go with very low expectations.


  • The dance itself was outside at trolley square. Great Atmosphere is always a plus.

  • I personally didn't like the DJ because I thought he played too much R&B/hip hop vs rock and country and it just isn't' my style. Maybe people don't care or don't appreciate the art of dancing like I do.

  • The food was good (most men commented to me how good it was so this must be a factor in why they choose Dee's Dances over Church sponsored) and nothing to complain about. Costco shoppers for sure.

  • The price is $9. I thought this was a little expensive but I am known to be cheap and haven't paid for dancing entertainment in many many of years. After all, it's not a cultural hall.

  • Plenty of people attended and every woman would have had the opportunity to dance and enough people were there that you didn't get to check out the majority.

  • Age was all over the map. I was definitely on the younger side and 65 was the higher side. Fit in that average in between....it's perfect.

I danced with of course.....tons of weirdos. Plenty of characters to compete with all the horror stories I've heard from others. There were a handful of cute men. Tons of normal men....and three handfuls of 'certifyables' (these were my dancing partners). Would I go again? Sure, but I would definitely go with the same expectations of not meeting anyone. So if you don't mind dancing with strange characters and just like to get out and boogie. It's perfect for you. Take some girlfriends and go.


My next thing to conquer.............The horrid church dance.

A Hard Day

I am at the end of a very hard day, one of the most difficult ones emotionally that I have had in about 6 months. This is saying a lot since I have only been divorced officially for 11 months and as we all know the emotions are all over the board. Does anyone else ever feel like they are being punished for some horrible thing they must have done to deserve this agony but can't think for the life of you what it was. Do you ever feel like you have many people and priorities that are number one in your life and you can't forget them for a second not even to sleep. That you take care of everyone and everything and there is nobody to take care of you or put you first? I know my ex takes care of himself and knowone else, the sun rises and sets on wether or not he is happy but I don't have that luxery because I am the responsible one and people are counting on me. UGH! I kinda get the whole Brittany Spears shaving the head thing, I could tear mine out sometimes when the crazy takes over.
Okay so maybe I am feeling sorry for myself and having a huge pitty party but darn it today was hard.

Shopping for Men

If you sit and think about it, online dating is kind of like being a kid before Christmas. Your mom gives you the JC Penny catalogue so you can search for the perfect gift, you look and look, circle the interesting ones, tag the pages and then pray that you will get it and that when you do it is as good as you thought it would be and looks like the picture.

Wow What a Date!

I know that I just bashed online dating in my last entry but...I went on a date Friday night with a guy I met on a site. I will just put it out there, I had a great time! What a nice and very normal guy, I was doubting they existed and I was proven wrong. He was thoughtful, kind, well mannered, articulate, funny and fun. We went to dinner (Thai my favorite) went to listen to an outdoor band (another favorite) even danced. Browsed a bookstore and people watched (another of my faves) took a long long walk along the water and looked at the city lights. I got home at 3 am wow am I in high school again? No and I felt it the next day. Will I see him again? Absolutely. Have I changed my mind about there not being any good ones left? Yes.
