Month: November 2020

Ok, so um yeah. Shay has decided she is going to find a man for me. I don’t even know how this is a good idea. I try telling her that we have completely different taste in men. She thinks I’m younger than I actually am and acts accordingly.

So since she wants to find a man for me, here are my requirements.

Somewhat nerdy, but also manly. Please no men that wear dresses. I like a man that can work with his hands and fix things. I come from a long line of fixers. My dad could fix anything, so could my brothers and nephews and my sons. My daughter can as well.

He has to like animals, both cats and dogs and others.

He also has to get along with my children. Oh and has to have good hygiene, physical and oral, there is nothing worse than a man who doesn’t brush his teeth or shower regularly.

Oh and good looking, I’m pretty, I am attracted to pretty, it never goes well with me when I deviate from what I’m attracted to.

Someone who likes to travel, I don’t want to be tied to someone who just wants to sit and watch television. Speaking of, I love superhero shows and movies. So there’s that.

Oh and music, they have to like music and going to concerts.

Above all they have to love God, Jesus and believe in the Holy Spirit.

This list is subject to change but that’s it for now.

An appropriate age is a must as well. If you know of anyone that fits the bill tell him to hit me up.

Life is getting back to normal, we had family pictures on Saturday. I don’t know what to say, except we all look short and squatty. Elizabeth Anne’s arms are huge in the photos, and she is tiny, like size 0 tiny. Alex looks like he has a belly, he is mr fit, works out constantly and has abs of steel. Tessa looks like she has a belly, she does not, Jeffrey had his sunglasses on and just needed a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

When I saw them I literally could not stop laughing, I snort laughed, Elizabeth Anne says she is going to find a frame that says 2020 with a roll of toilet paper on it.

I will cherish these pictures my entire life! Oh and the tiniest one of us, Karliegh, think double 0, looked like a regular size. Amanda is tall and she looked short! I am laughing all over thinking about it!

So tonight, when I was coming out of Hotworx, I saw a nice looking older gentleman (probably my age) standing next to a Vette. Another man was taking a picture of him, you could tell it was probably for a dating site. As I was driving off I was talking to Shay on the phone. I told her I should stop and say look no further, I am a car girl, trade that in for a Mustang and we’ll date. As I look back he is not getting into the Corvette he just took his picture next to. No, the faker was getting into another car! I was like well you can’t even trust what you see on the internet. Which made me laugh hard as well.

Another reason to never get on another dating app, you really cannot trust what you see. It is all rather sad and funny and makes for great fodder on here.

I never thought in my younger years I would end up here, alone, dateless, living with a cat and a dog.

I’ve seen the things about what would you go back and tell your younger self if you could.

I would tell her to enjoy every minute, stop stressing, the bills and money will work themselves out. They always do, you’ll be able to feed your kids and clothe them. Not to worry about being alone, you’ll get used to it, oh and don’t date an idiot with an accent.

Don’t do that girl. Just don’t. Your life will be incredibly peaceful if you just don’t.

I would also tell me to go ahead and dye our hair purple, it’s all good, it’s all fine. Oh and finish that journalism degree, you’ll never use it, but you’ll have that accomplishment.

That’s really all I have for now. I encourage everyone to go out and see your family for Thanksgiving and Christmas, you don’t know if it will be someones last.

Well here we sit, with a Friday the 13th, the last one we had in 2020 was in March. It was the last normal day on earth, I remember that day well.

I had my hair done, colored a brilliant dark red by my amazing hair stylist.

In my family, as you might know, we hold Friday the 13th dearly. It was the day my parents were married, not in March or November, but January. 

I don’t believe in luck, I believe in blessings from the Almighty Father. I have many in my life, from my grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren. Too many friends to actually count, a life filled with peace and assuredness that God is high upon His throne and in control.

I have no worries about what happens on this earth, that doesn’t mean I don’t take an active roll in doing my part in things I need to do. It means I am not worried about what happens after I leave this earth.

I fully believe that what happens next here is in God’s plan for this earth and His children. I pray that God’s will be done, not man’s will.

Moving on, my cat cam is working brilliantly, I am getting great footage of a cat that wants nothing to do with me. Ronald, aka, Fat Catstard, loves hanging out in the cat sanctuary during the day.

The stray only comes out at night, probably because the husky has full reign of the backyard during the day. I leave the backdoor open while I am working so she can go in and out as she pleases. With the exception of rain, I don’t allow rain to come into the house.

Does anyone else do that? Leave their door open for their pets?

Tomorrow is the day for family photos, I am very excited, I have a new purple shirt and look forward to what everyone else will be wearing. I have put the kibosh on Elizabeth Anne showing up in a purple fur coat. That was my only putting my foot down moment.

This will not be a photo shoot like you see on social media influencers instagrams. This will be a simple family photo, the photographer will position us. We will smile, she will take the picture, maybe three or four just to make sure we get one good one. Then done. Fingers crossed all 5 of the children cooperate. Well the older ones, no worries, it’s the youngest, he is unpredictable, just the way we like him. 

So now 2020 feels like 2000, can anyone say Al Gore? I feel a complete vindication coming and literally cannot wait for a certain thing to get to the Supreme Court. You know the court where three of it’s members were demonized and tortured by the Democrat party. We shall see what we shall see. Until then just Toto it, we shall persevere.

As usual any comments, questions or criticisms can be left here or sent to me at angie@angieworld.com.

Peace out peeps.
