New Year...New Life

Aaah, life!

It can be so great one day and such a downer the next.

I can think of all the cliche replies...
          without the down there would not be ups
          without valleys there would not be hills
          he wasn't the right guy for you
          if it was meant to be, then it would happen

...but that still doesn't make it easy!

Trying to date and find that one special relationship after 50 is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I sometimes feel like I am barely treading water.

If I had any tips on how to find a guy, get to know him and establish a relationship, I would definitely share. In this world of craziness, we need all the help we can get!

I got the proverbial "Dear Jane" text from a guy I had been dating since April. He was very definite about his wants...no marriage...and so was I...no marriage, but I did want a relationship with someone special. I tried not to push, to give him space...but then his text said that someone had come into his life and he was off the market for now. Sigh....who knows...I thought I did everything right...but I am hoping it was the 3 hour distance between us that made it fail.

Until tomorrow, maybe my world will have a sunnier outlook...and maybe I will have a tip or two on dating in this technology world!

Where is December Going?

Christmas is on the horizon! I am almost ready, but the next few days are going to be a little hectic.

I have so  many things planned, I hope that I can get them all finished. I will post pictures for each day so that any followers...including me...will be able to remember what was happening!

What are you doing to get ready for the holidays?

Do you have any plans to travel or are you staying home?

Ice-Mageddon

Wow! We still have not dug out of the ice that fell Thursday evening! My driveway was so bad this morning that I wondered if I would make it to my car without taking a spill on that slippery stuff!

The metroplex has it even worse than we do here in Central Texas. There are still cars and trucks backed up on the Interstate!

This was my yard 4 days after the ice fell. It may look like snow...but it isn't! It is ice and still not melting!

Stay safe...stay warm!

What's in a Name?

Several friends have asked me how in the world I came up with the name 'Pamazon' for my blog.

A will let you in on a little secret...I am a tall girl...about 5'10" and heels simply add more height to the mix.

As a single woman going out on dates, that height can be a little bit intimidating. I was dating someone about a year ago and he was several inches shorter than I was. One day he made the comment that I was a big girl. I had to correct him and teach him that the correct vernacular was 'tall' girl! LOL!! I added that he made me feel like an Amazon woman when I was standing next to him.

He decided that I needed a nickname. After mulling it over for awhile and remembering the story I told him about my neighbor telling me that I was a "Barbie...a bitch Barbie," he decided that my name should be Pamazon Barbie. 

I rather liked it and it stuck.

I hope your Thanksgiving holiday was filled with fun, family and friends! Mine was fantastic! Until later....

Pamazon!

It's a New Day and a Start of a New Decade!

Welcome! I hope that you will enjoy reading through my blog as I try to answer life's crazy questions and solve all the riddles that come my way. I have reached a mile marker in my life and have forgotten so many of the amazing things that happened that I have decided to chronicle as much of it as I can.

I am an over 50 gal trying to make her way through this maze/chaos that we call life and come out on the other end a stronger, wiser and a better person.



Warning!! Some of my future entries may be a little risque, so don't read if they might offend!




My adventures sometimes enter the realm of 'oh, my!' without me consciously realizing it. I considered labeling this blog The Tales of the Naughty Librarian, but didn't want to misrepresent my fellow librarian community or do anything that might lead to a less than stellar profile of the profession! LOL!

I love 
--my grandchildren, family, friends,
--blogging,
--pinning,
--browsing the Internet,
--following other blogs,
--learning new skills,
--reading anything but especially 'inspirational' novels (you know...we've all read them and they are they ones that cause us to blush and fan ourselves!),
--flirting,
--laughing
--and everything about life!

Bear with me as I share the funny, the sad, the unbelievable and silly escapades and exploits that come my way. I might even share some of the quirks and foibles that seem to permeate my days! But, you will also have to put up with my fears, my loves, and my obsessions!

Several of my friends have confided that they are living vicariously through me...and they are right. I love life and my goal is to enjoy something in each and every day.
