food for thought

after jon & i made it permanent (ok, semi-permanent but i didn't know that at the time) he really wanted to buy a house but i felt a house meant too much permanence; of setting roots.  that actually made me extremely nervous.  sure we were getting married but buying a house *shudder* that was so adult, so permanent, so, well for lack of a better expression, setting down roots.  

you may be asking "what the hell is she talking about!?" & "umm, why is she mentioning all of this?"  well, i do have a reason for bringing up the ancient past.  since my divorce, i have rented.  i have moved every 3-4 years.  i have no desire to buy a house, condo, townhome, whatever.  i like renting & the freedom it gives me.  well, i was faced with an issue this week that brought all of this renting forefront in my thoughts and in my decisions for dating.  i have to buy a refrigerator.  i haven't purchased a major appliance since i was married!  i have no idea what brand to buy, how much to spend, etc. every place i've rented has come with a fridge.  but this place, though it came with a fridge, also came with a clause in the lease that should anything happen to the fridge ( & washer & dryer), I must replace said appliance.

ok, ok!  i'm getting to the point of all of this & how it relates to this whole blog!  above i mentioned how the idea of BUYING a house kind of freaked me out because of what it (was suppose to) mean.  well thinking of that, because of the whole fridge thing, led me to think about why i like to date younger men.  & i do, I REALLY DO like dating much younger men.  think about it...they represent a lack of permanence!  well, & the guys i've dated are sexy as hell :).  & you know what?  i'm ok with that.  i'm not ready for a relationship.  i'm not ready for anything serious or permanent.  how crazy is it that i took buying a refrigerator for me to realize why i like dating younger men?!

i'm quite excited because i may get to see chucky cheese very soon :).
