Tinder thoughts...

Still messing with Tinder so just wanted to post a couple of thoughts I had. It seems kind of hard to find big guys on there. The majority of the guys on there are white but when I do come across a black guy it seems like they are too skinny for my taste. I'm attracted to chunky guys and most of the guys on there are either skinny or muscular skinny guys who seem to spend a lot of time in the gym.
There is this one guy on there that I have been talking to who seems really cool. He's not a bad looking guy, seems to have a good job and he's 40 which I am definitely attracted to older guys but I think we can only be friends and chat every now and again because he lives in a different state and I think he just comes up here for business. We have exchanged numbers and have been texting but he definitely sucks at texting because I can text him and it seems like it takes him forever to text back if he even texts back at all. Is it too much to ask to find a decent guy who can hold a conversation? Maybe one day the right guy will come along and I will finally have someone I can at least chat with.

Dentist appointment...

Last week, I went to the dentist for the first time in I don't know how many years. I was definitely nervous because I didn't know what to expect since I hadn't been in so long. I thought I was going to have a bunch of cavities in my mouth or I was going to need to have a bunch a teeth pulled. The dental hygienist and dentists were all nice. I feel I made a good choice picking them to go to. I only have two cavities which is less than what I thought I had so I am happy. I was at my appointment for 3 hours since it had been so long since I have been to the dentist, it took a long time to clean my teeth. I have an appointment to go back on June 1st to get my cavities filled, to get a tooth pulled because I still have one of my baby teeth that never came out and to get braces. I'm kind of excited to get braces because I know I need them. My teeth aren't that crooked except for a few in the front but I need them to move one of my teeth where it's suppose to be which is why I have to get my baby tooth pulled out first. Since my baby tooth never fell out on its own, it pushed my adult tooth out so its sticking out which has always made it hard for me to want to smile because of it now I'm finally about to get it fixed and I am ready. I can honestly say that I enjoyed my appointment so much that it made me think that if I wasn't going to school for what I want to then I would probably go to become a dental hygienist.

Tinder...

So I downloaded the Tinder app because I wanted to see what the hype was about with the swiping. It is a pretty cool app. You can meet guys on there and I think its cool that you only talk to people that you match up with. So if someone likes me and I like them then we are matched together and can send each other messages. I have matched up with quite a few people but the problem seems to be that none of the guys can hold a conversation. Some guys I have started talking to and then they just stop talking. I tried to keep it going but never hear back from them. I didn't think it would be that hard to find one interesting guy to keep a conversation going with. I have been trying to look for older guys. My age range is 30-41. I noticed its a lot of guys who are in the army on there. I'm not saying I need to find me a boyfriend on there but at least someone just to chat with.

The big 3-0...

On Sunday, I turned 30. I still can't believe I am 30 years old. I didn't really celebrate although it would have been nice to be able to. One of the sucky things about not having a significant other or a lot of friends. Its kind of depressing. I just hope that I can reach my goal with hopefully by the time I am 35 I will be married and ready to have another baby. I have less than 5 years to reach my goal and I hope to be able to accomplish it but since it seems like I have a hard time meeting guys we'll see if it can actually happen.

Volunteering...

Well I am trying my best to do as much volunteering as I can. I am in a club at school where we volunteer and so far we had one volunteering event that I went to. It was pretty cool. I skipped the last one we had because just didn't feel like going and it felt weird because it seemed like the people who were going all knew each other and of course I don't know anyone. Definitely one of the biggest regrets I have is not being able to spend more time on campus. Now I do not know if I am going to be doing anymore volunteering with the club. I will probably go back to volunteering on my own and I plan on volunteering a couple of times at the pantry on campus as soon as I sign up. They still have a few slots open so I can volunteer a couple times before the semester is over since I think it is only open during the school year.

Birthdays...

My daughter just turned the big 5 on the 13th and I had a party for her on the 12th. It was pretty cool to be able to throw a party and have people come out for it. It kind of bugged me that I passed out almost 40 invitations to the kids at her school and only a few of them showed up. That was so mind boggling to me. Its not like I didn't pass it out in enough time for people to RSVP. It was still a nice turn out regardless. Now my birthday is coming up in a week and I will be turning 30. I can't believe I am officially turning 30 in a week. It just sucks because I know I don't plan on doing anything or celebrating. Too bad I don't have a special guy in my life to celebrate with but I'm sure my time will come one day for a guy to be n my life.

Need a new plan...

I haven't posted in over a month and I know I have a lot on my mind so this will be the first post of a couple. I am back to searching for a new plan to lose weight. The nutrisystem plan that I was planning on doing didn't work out like I wanted. I read some of the reviews on the QVC website and it kind of scared me off of spending all the money on the food if it wasn't going to be good. I am still trying to do research and figure out what I need to do. I know I want to get exercise dvds and use them and the only way I can do it is if I get up super early in the morning so that I have time and I need to buy a new dvd player because the one I have doesn't have a remote so its hard to go to pick another selection without it and I don't want to buy a remote and risk it not working. The next thing I need to figure out is the food. I want to try to eat healthier so I need to figure out what foods I can get. I'm kind of thinking about getting a George Foreman grill too. I guess we'll see what happens. I do like seeing other people inspiring and showing their weight loss journey because it lets you know if you are dedicated enough it is possible to get healthy and lose the weight.
