For “Kan” an unsatisfied reader ~
January 12, 2010 at 10:31 am | In Uncategorized | 1 CommentLoquacious means extremely talkative, synonym “verbose” – maybe not exactly correct relating to writing, I apologize if I chose an inexact word – however it does not mean “fast” either.
As for your other posts regarding my writing being boring and not well written – I agree that it has not been up to standard lately. I haven’t been able to give it as much time as I need to do a better job. Life got busy.
In one of your comments you asked why anyone but me would care? And I agree again. This blog is primarily for me to play with and I have given out the address to friends and family who might be interested. (Which means that you know me.) I have deliberately not placed advertisements or changed the URL to make it more accessible so that it stays relatively private. Occasionally someone stumbles upon it but it is easy enough to X out of it.
Since your email address is fake I cannot write to you directly which is why I am answering here. I plan on shutting this blog down after you read this as it seems to be generating negativity. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I hope you find other blogs worth your time now.
Sincerely
Johanna
Finding the Perfect Mate ~ For my brother in law…
December 31, 2009 at 12:41 am | In Dating, Just silly, Modern Society, Uncategorized | 3 Comments
Tonight I filled out an online dating profile …. for my brother in law. I found his a bit too loquacious for my taste. Then again my taste might not be what he is looking for but I guarantee he will get more hits now that I have taken control. Of course once they take the bait (this is on Plenty of Fish so let’s go with the ocean theme for a moment) I may help him with the reeling but he is on his own for the landing. I was honest but gentle on him when I filled out the personality test. In general it was positive except for the area where it says he has little or no self control. While that might be accurate, I am not convinced it will help his chances. Continue reading Finding the Perfect Mate ~ For my brother in law……
I’m Over It
November 18, 2009 at 6:17 pm | In Dating, Modern Society, Uncategorized | 1 Comment
This time last year was fun. I was in the throes of a blossoming romance. He was a brilliant and interesting guy who possessed a caustic wit I mistook for genuine humor. Even though his humor was derogatory ~ he made me laugh. He played this game of “balanced or unbalanced?” where we’d people watch and he’d tell me funny things about strangers based upon their actions or appearance. We’d argue whether they were “balanced” or “unbalanced”. I kind of miss that game. Continue reading I’m Over It…
NOT Korean ~ Kosraean
November 7, 2009 at 3:04 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I am a tutor. I wanted to work school hours and was hired as an ELL (English Language Learner) tutor at our local middle school. The majority of my students are from Kosrae. I know you think I keep repeating a typo but Kosrae really is a country. A tiny island country of 17,000 people in Micronesia. All of this is new to me too. And I will continue this post soon…
Birthday swim with Dolphin

For my birthday this year my boyfriend arranged a weekend at the Hilton resort on the Big Island and a private swim with the dolphins of Dolphin Quest. I have to say this was one of my better birthdays!
It isn’t the DTs!

My brother-in-law is in town. Technically he is my “ex” brother-in-law because I am divorced from his brother. However that was cumbersome and awkward to explain so we just resumed the label brother in law. Anyway, my ex husband is also in town. I call him my “ex” because that is not awkward. What is awkward is explaining that he stays at my house when he is in town for visitation with our sons. So here we are in my 800sf, 2 bedroom condo. Me, the ex, my brother-in-law and my two sons. So to have a little breathing room I often stay overnight with my boyfriend. (You can read about him in other posts). And as unusual as it may seem, my ex and I make do with one car and arrange elaborate car pool schedules to make this work. However, having a third adult on one car is just too much so I rented a little 2 seater convertible from my friend Wes.
“Don’t touch the merchandise”
August 10, 2009 at 12:53 pm | In Parenting over 40 | Leave a Comment
My seven year old is an interesting character. He didn’t speak in understandable sentences until he was close to three years old. Prior to that I faked it with him. He would babble and I would agree or disagree depending on his expressions. When he was four he began channeling a British child. He started with “I don’t know, darling” and segued into using the English accent on a regular basis. I kept asking why he was talking like that and his reply was always “I don’t know, darling”. I grilled his older brother but he denied knowing how his brother learned the accent. Finally we discovered he had watched a British children’s movie months before.

Lusting After Vampires

Beware – this is just a very silly posting and guys do not like this one….
Shimmering swirls of fog creep slowly up the hill to the house. I watch as the corral disappears into the mist. Lance (names have been changed to protect the innocent) is still not home and I am getting nervous. I turn on the gas heater to take some of the chill from the room. I pour a glass of Cabernet and try to focus on a Dirk Pitt novel. I am too jumpy. There is no storm but the feeling of electricity in the room is palpable. As if this is not enough, the wind begins to pick up and the branches of the over-grown lemon tree scratch at the window. Continue reading Lusting After Vampires…
Country Music addict – out of the Closet
May 29, 2009 at 4:41 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentYou know I like my chicken fried, a cold beer on a friday night and the radio up. I love this song. I play it so much my boys walk around singing how they like a cold beer on a Friday night. When my 7 year old sings “see the love in my woman’s eyes” it just cracks me up. I love lots of country music. It all started on my honeymoon. While most newlyweds are staring lovingly into each other eye’s over candle lit dinners, I was sitting in a mini van hiding from mosquitos. Continue reading Country Music addict – out of the Closet…
Running with the Cougars?
May 14, 2009 at 2:01 pm | In Dating, Modern Society | Leave a Comment
Demi Moore is the poster babe for “cougars” at the moment. And though highly unlikely, I find I have something in common with this gorgeous, rich and talented woman. If you have been reading this blog you know I dabbled in the cougar pool a while back.
After returning to men in my own age group for a time, I find it easy to slip back into the pack (do cougars run in packs?). Last year when a cougar hunter (yes, they actually call themselves that) lured me into his arms I was shocked at myself. For months I went to great lengths making sure no one knew my dirty little secret. Continue reading Running with the Cougars?…
