Mardi Gras!

Happy Friday! We made it:) This week was a doozy indeed;-) I am glad to see it wrapping up.....although it was a productive one in lots of ways....crossed a lot of stuff off but still....I say Ciao to it;-) The kids go with their dad this weekend and I am excited about my plans....I was hoping one day, I would get to see the real Mardi Gras....that may not be in the cards, but I am going to the next best thing this weekend! A friend and I are going to a Mardi Gras event that I went to last year, and it was so fun....live music and revelry, and we are excited! And it is forever the line I walk in my life....the one between being content to stay in on the weekends the kids are with their dad, and forcing myself to get out into the world and make some plans....and I think I strike a good balance of both mostly...or at least set out to.......I have some chores I want to get done too, and get ready for another busy week next week! But on Saturday night I plan on having fun and making it count! I love listening to live music....music at all...but live music is a treat for sure.....so any chance I can do that is one I will take! I also recently crossed paths with some speed dating type events around to check out at some point;-)....and it seems as if it would beat online dating sites by a long shot....and I have my profile upgrade on Tawkify....forcing myself to achieve my goal of dating some in this year and getting my sea legs;-) I also have another idea up my sleeve about it all too.....it is still in the hatching phase! I was thinking the other day I am grateful for my friends, and the fact that I have single ones at this stage of life.....because they are always up for an adventure or for making plans.....most of my other friends are married and still we find a way too....so my mix of friends is a blessing in this phase of my life....and I always talk about what you focus on growing.....I so believe that is true....and I have not focused too much on dating or meeting anybody....and I am trying to be more intentional about that.....and in taking advantage of opportunities when my kids are with their dad, to get out and meet people and have fun....and truthfully the whole dating thing at this age, and I know I have expressed it before, is just so strange and foreign to me.....nothing organic about any of it....and not designed for the way I view love, and all of it...scrolling and swiping....not so much my thing....I yearn to meet HIM naturally.....face to face....vibe to vibe...smile to smile......all of it...so I know that requires me putting myself out there! I am really looking forward to having some fun, and dancing and enjoying time with my friend! I am also hoping to get into the woods this weekend....supposed to be warm! I hope whatever you have planned this weekend, makes you happy too:) Enjoy!
