@Copa I haven’t finished it but so far it’s okay. She gets a little too cheesy for me in some parts but I think the overall message is good. I personally am not into the physical making of a vision board, but I can get on board with a pinterest version that requires no scissors or paste.
Like for example – I’ve pinned a few pictures and articles of couples working out because I want someone that values health and fitness like do or someone that would be up for working out and being active together. I haven’t had that in past relationships and my health (physical and mental) both suffer when I’m not hitting the gym regularly.
Can I ask opinions? I’ve been reading “Finding your half Orange” which has been suggested here before. In the book the author makes a vision board with paste and posterboard and the whole nine yards. All about what she wanted in a partner.
My therapist and I were discussing the concept of that and she loved the idea. We thought maybe making a secret pinterest board of things I’d like in my ideal life. (A loving partner, a job i like, a home that is safe and comfortable, health, financial stability, travel, possible kids) etc.
Apparently I’m negative (not shocking) and she says I have to become more positive and convince myself that I will eventually get the life that I want (not just a partner, the whole nine yards.
Would any of you consider making a dream board or a pinterest board or something like that? Have any of you tried this before? I’m not talking a dream wedding board – but like a whole life “if i could have my ideal life this is what it would look like” board?
@thehizzy there was much drunken conversation about who could outlift the other while we tried to blow up the kiddie pool in my backyard and see who could do air squats the fastest 😉
@Ale the margaritas and girl talk were fabulous. Turned into a crossfit girls night sleep over at my house.
He texted this afternoon with a bunch of excuses. I Haven’t responded.
That sounds like good progress Miss Dre!
As for me and my date….it never happened! I texted to confirm plans and got radio silence. After a usual daily text from him saying hi or asking how my day was – nothing. Haven’t heard from him since Friday. And I don’t even know the guy, but damn, I was looking forward to going on a date. So that sort of soured me. But I ended up going for margs with a few friends from the gym rather than sitting at home, so not a bad night after all. Just disappointing.
My new favorite joke is that I’ve been on enough first dates and job interviews that I’m an expert on both now. Though, I wish I weren’t lol.
Definitely not alone out there Copa. Ale, continuing to send you good thoughts.
MissDre – belated happy birthday!
@ladyE – what a wonderful update! I hope it goes well,
@Ale – I’ve felt that way many times, but I’ve learned that optimism or at least trying to be optimistic helps with my mindset.@Copa – I think that’s the way to go! I’ve been planning things for my house and vacations that involve me being by myself. Not because that’s necessarily what I want but because that’s the reality I have right now.
As for me, I have a first date Saturday. It’ll be my first real date back out there since the guy I dated that moved out of state. He seems very cool, good sense of humor. I’m looking forward to it.
Also, I had two back to back job interviews yesterday and I think they both went very well. I think both jobs have the potential to be good fits, but I do prefer one over the other just based on the personalities I met with yesterday. Fingers crossed that I get second interviews or offers soon!
Men can sometimes be really bad about pictures being old. I went on a date once with a guy that must have used way old pictures because when he showed up he was clearly 50-75 pounds heavier in person – which is not a huge deal but he wasn’t honest with his pictures and it was just a little disappointing.
I don’t add anyone to facebook until I’ve actually met them. But I know other people who aren’t as stringent. You do you, just be safe!
@Copa wtf? Listen, if you ever make a trek to Mid Missouri, let me know because there are TONS of dogs around here that need homes and good shelters that would find you one that’s perfect for you. All of my animals are local rescues.
@Ale he sounds really bizarre! What would motivate that sort of behavior? I think you made the right choice and went with your gut on that one. That gives me the creeps.
