Welcome

Hi!  I'm 100% new to this.  A friend of mine blogs all the time.  I asked him for help.  He told me about blogger.com.  So here I am. 

Funny that my friend Dave (mentioned above) is the one to help me start my new blog.  I went to Junior Prom with him.  That was a lifetime ago.  He was/is a true gentleman.  I haven't met too many since.  He is now married and a father of five.

The whole reason for this blog is for me to have a little fun with the dates I've been on - since I didn't have fun on the actual dates.  It might be therapeutic for me?  It might not.  We'll see how this progresses.  Maybe if I actually get followers - you can help me with the problems.  The problems may be with me and not them.  I may need your help with figuring that out.

Maybe, just maybe - this could also be a "What Not to Do" for the men out there.  But I'm sure they won't be reading this.  And if they do - would they care?  They are still going to be the "cave-men" they are.  But maybe not.  Maybe there are some men out there that really do need to see what not to do.

Maybe, just maybe, it will be sympathetic hug to women out there that are going through the same thing I'm going through.  You are not alone with the crazies!  Other women have problems meeting their "Mr. Right" too!  I'll share some of my friends’ stories as well.

Maybe it will be a reassurance to the women that are married, and think the grass is greener on the other side.  It's not ladies.  But I'm not one to say stay in a bad marriage.  Don't.  Don't let this blog sway you to stay.  You may be a lot luckier than me.  My friends are :)

So how do I start this . . . hmmmm well, maybe I'll introduce myself.

My name is Cheetahtort.  A nickname that I put together from a last name I had and a dress that I loved.

I'm a girly girl - but not too much so.  I love high heels - even though I'm 5'10".  The only cute shoes out there have a heel!  I'm seriously not trying to tower over the new prospects - but just want to be me.   

On a normal day I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt.  But when I'm off to work I'm usually in a nice top with a skirt and high heels.  On date nights, I sit in my closet cursing my wardrobe, wishing I had the budget to buy something hot and cute for every date.  But I do the best I can and usually feel alright when I show up on the first date.  That's usually all I have - first dates.  Why only a first date?  I don't know!  Hence this blog.  Can you help me?

Side bar:  Why do women work so hard on what they are going to wear on a first date when the men show up with jeans, sweatshirt (that looks like they just might have taken it out of the hamper) and tennis shoes?  Why don't they take as much care as we do?

O.K.  Back to introducing myself.

I love all sorts of activities.  Skiing (downhill), boating (even try waterskiing sometimes but my friends make fun of my long legs), live music (going to concerts is always fun), running, working out, hiking, playing darts, reading, movies, watching someone cook for me, eating what they've just cooked for me, wine, relaxing by the pool with an umbrella in my drink, walking, and bonfires.  Seriously I'm just a normal girl that likes a good time with my friends and family.  I'm normal - or so I think.  After reading this blog you can be the judge.

Keep reading my posts - I promise to try to make it worth your time.
