My Mr Big

SMS: Text Messaging Gets Redesigned (Photo credit: pouwerkerk)

 So I've been distracted for the past three weeks now by someone new.

He's older, smart, talkative, sexy, funny as hell and wouldn't you know it, lives in another country !

I know - there's always something with me right?

It's been awhile since I've flirted with a dash of romance. When your life's in meltdown, trust me romance is the last thing on your mind. 

Fortunately for me, now it's 2013, my annus horribilis 2012, is just a memory, I'm enjoying not hurtling from one life disaster to another and actually being able to just live.

Almost as if to remind me how long it's been since I did the love mambo, R popped up again - in his usual 'take me back form' - via text!

This time I'm hoping I've left him in no uncertain terms, aware that the good ship Diva has sailed.

I couldn't help comparing R to MB who took the more philosophical line, that R has probably realised,

'You never know what you've got until it's gone'

That maybe right, but if you honestly really felt that way, why would you push that person away? It makes no sense to me!

Which takes me neatly back to MB who's distinguished himself by loving to laugh, being a nut when it comes to working hard, cheeky text messages and being able to hold  a serious conversation, without feeling the need to follow it up by disappearing; oh and calling me daily - because he wants to.

I've no idea where all of this is all heading but I do know one thing - he's put a massive smile on my face and I'm happy :0)

The End of M & F

 M and F are finally over, fufiling the age old prophecy that whenever one of your best friends breaks up with their honey, you end up hooked up with someone (more of that in my next post :0)  !

Unbelievably their on-off car crash has been a bad habit love dance, that's lasted five years !

You know I'm never shy about saying what I think about somebody.  Well if I'm honest, I hated him almost from the moment they started dating.  Too smooth for my liking, had an answer for everything and the habit of constantly disappearing, usually when M really needed him.

I held my tongue in the way only a good friend can, while secretly keeping my fingers crossed that she'd see the light and dump his sorry arse.

M finally called it a day, following some online digging about F's 'ex' . His 'ex-wife' isn't and never has been his ex-wife.  They're still married.  So the whole the time he's been dating M, he's been living with his wife and did I mention, their daughter !

I've come across some Dallas style love twists in my time, but this one truly takes the biscuit !
