Inquiring minds seem to want to know.

In the continuing soap opera of AFP....

Okay so I'm over my mad now, and I guess I will make blog entries whenever I feel like it. I guess I will have to reiterate why I blog in such an open area.  While my private life is certainly my own and to most people, should probably remain private, I personally don't feel that way.  Sometimes I go searching on the internet for answers to problems I have.  Maybe I'm searching for answers to other things, not just problems.  Curious inquiries about things I've not given much thought to in the past.  Sometimes I'm looking for people who are experiencing similar things to myself and I want to see how they are handling them.  This is the motive behind my blogging.  I'm in part chronicling my life since I've become a single woman/parent. The issues I face, how I handle them, what I think.  I've shown how you can go from being a relatively happily married person, with a comfortable life, even though finances were hard, to being totally devastated by an unwanted divorce, the inability to find a job, struggling day to day while trying to keep what remains of your family and home intact.  I've talked about being single and alone, meeting various men and how potential relationships just haven't worked out, and the aftermath of jealousy from 3rd parties.  At some point or another I believe I've touched on nearly every aspect of my life, and the only goal I've had is to share with others so that they know life goes on, struggles occur and you can make it through with a smile on your face, still. 

There are some that view this as airing dirty laundry....but what gets me is that those same people who call it that are the same ones that turn on the daily talk shows and the news.  Yes, the news....tell me where is there more dirty laundry of the worst kind aired?   And we let our kids watch that!  I could start a blog and write a story, a piece of fiction that included every detail of the life I've already posted, and people would eat it up.  No repercussions.   But nope, knowing this is real and not just an active imagination has a greater impact.   Now....having said whatever I just said, I'm moving on to the real reason I'm posting today.

I don't  know why it's not obvious to everyone yet, but apparently there are some on here that just aren't sure.  I've been getting pm's asking me pretty much the same question...if not asking me, then telling me that another has asked that person and they are just letting me know.  It would seem that there are a few inquiring minds out there and I want those minds curiosity to be satisfied. 

Yes, andersonbrent and CC-Gal are an item.  (LOL, that's how it keeps getting asked!)  Let there be no more beating around the bush about this. 

kpaul asked me the other day if AFP gets credit for 'hooking you two up'.  I don't know if AFP alone can get that credit, but it has played a part.  The players have been:

kpaul, for making it possible that we met in the first place, via computer repair work. 

Jacquline, for having a ghost hunters investigation, and inviting us to come view it, showing me that AB and I have a similar interest. 

Several posters who have allowed me to vent or talk to them about some things that will never see the light of day on the forum or in a blog.

But most of all the credit has to go to AB because he is a persistent bugger who can worm his way into your heart when you aren't prepared to move on with that part of your life yet. Proving yet again, you find what you aren't looking for, where you least expect it.  

So who knows what you are going to see from me on this site from now on.  I'm going to have good days, and bad days.  AB and I might get put out with one another and you might see it in our status messages, or my venting blogs.  I may have a post here one day and the next, it will be deleted, just to keep the peace.  Whatever it is that comes up, it's real life.  Not just an internet soap opera.  Call it whatever you want, but you know you are going to read it, wonder how it turns out, and keep coming back for more.  That's just the nature of the inquiring mind.
