Welcome to my frogblog!

I have always kept a journal, or written pros, as a way to express my feelings.  I have found it at times to be therapeutic and cathartic.  Additionally – those who I am closest to, know that I have always been on open book when it comes to my life’s adventures – good or bad.  Many have said I should write a book, because quite frankly – the stories I share, in most cases, are truly unbelievable!

I sit here a month shy of my 45^th birthday, and I am so thankful for the opportunities that I have been blessed with in my life. I have relocated twice, and have been embraced by amazing, lifelong friends along the way (not to mention the one’s I left West Virginia with).  I have a thriving career that continues to get better year after year. I have been able to live out a dream of performing on stage, in roles that many only dream of playing.  I have a loving (albeit crazy at times) family that loves and supports me.  I am healthy, happy and enjoy the little thing in my life that many take for granted in their own.

However – I would be lying if I said that my life is 100% complete (insert Jerry McGuire flashback).  I never thought I would be here, at this age, still single and not a mother.  Those that know me well – know that being a mother was what I was put on this earth to do.  However – as the years have passed – I have had to accept the sad reality that being a mother (at least in the biological sense) is probably something that is not in the cards for me.  I have also accepted the fact that although I have had a few loving, long-term relationships, they never materialized into anything more. Thus, I am where I am today!

LUCKY YOU, as the readers of my blog!!  This is a candid, open, honest and quite frankly – comical forum for me to share my experiences.  I am not lying when I say, “you can’t make this shit up”.  I have been on Match, E-harmony and OK Cupid.  I have tried “It’s Just Lunch”, and I even met with a Yenta when I lived in Charlotte (yes – I know that is an oxymoron – Yenta….Charlotte…..the south……whatever!!).  I have stories that have brought me to tears, yet have made me laugh uncontrollably at the fact they even happened – and even better – they happened to me 🙂

Nothing that I write is meant to be sad, depressing or negative.  It is all meant to be an anecdotal fun and whimsical journal through my crazy-ass dating adventures.   The content will be real, raw, biting and honest.  Selfishly, this is my personal forum of expression.  However – my hope is that if any of you can learn from my experiences, laugh at my expense, or simply marvel at the stories of a 45 year old career professional just trying to find her prince charming in this effed up world – then I have accomplished what I set out to do.

I don’t know how often I will post, as this is all new to me.  However – it is my forum for expression, and I hope you enjoy!

Now – I need to sit down and think about what crazy story to share in my first “official” post.  There is so much content in my brain – I need to just let it come out through my keyboard, and into the eyes of the reader.

I hope you have an appetite for the crazy adventures I am about to share!  Until my next post!

Cynically, optimistic………..
