It has been a while since I have posted. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much to post about. My love life has had no action since I moved. Before you pity me or ask me where I moved that I have met not one decent man I would be interested in, I have met two. Unfortunately, both work with me, are about 10 years my senior (not that it really matters nowadays), and are in relationships. Being new to such a small town makes it more difficult to adapt. I went to the hair salon about 3 weeks ago, and my hairstylist was one of the coolest chicks I’ve met here. I’m sure every girl knows what I’m talking about when I say “awkward salon talk”. It was nothing like that, a salon romance, if you may. She immediately picked up that I was not from around here and asked where I was from. She was originally from Ft. Lauderdale, and with me being from Miami, we reminisced about the traffic and rude residents of South Florida. Trust me, you think you won’t miss those things, but when you are driving behind a parade of nursing home patients, you want to defensively drive and give ’em the middle finger for driving at 30mph in a 60mph zone! Not only does my driving habits stick out here, but so do my clothing choices, haircuts and overall demeanor. My hairstylist (Toni) has been here for about 10 years. She told me how hard it was to connect with people when she originally moved here. Most of the residents have lived here since they were children and went to school together. This town has had its same cliques since before high-school. It is difficult to make your way into a clique or even find a clique that you get along with, but once you do, everything gets more bearable. After I left the salon with my fresh new do, I also have a fresh new perspective on this small town. As I make my round about to what I was speaking of in the beginning of this post, 2 men at my job. While these two men are rather close friends, they both have bouts of flirtation. I have met both of their girlfriends, the older of the two men (we will call him Joe) has a gorgeous girlfriend, she is also extremely sweet, but can be rather clingy. I can see that trait just from her visits to him at work about twice a day, bringing him lunch or any other excuse she can make. One thing that bothers me about Joe is that he chews… I was immediately turned off by that discovery and could not believe that his girlfriend would put up with that, until I found out she has some of her own skeletons in her closet. (Alcoholic) On to the next one, the younger of the 2 men. (We will call him John) We had been friends before he started dating this girl. He met her online, which was what scared me at first. He had told me about a couple of their dates and how their relationship was progressing. All of her actions screamed crazy to me, but I decided not to give my input. Some weeks after that he told me he believed she was cheating on him with her ex. The broke up a little while after that, messy break up. A week later, they got back together……….. I do not trust her. John is too nice of a guy to see him get screwed over. This is something that had been bothering me, so I decided to let people know. I vented to the public, and thank you for following and reading these posts!!
