One New Year's Eve, I was stood up, so I went out on my own to a club. I met a guy who was in the military (air force, I think) and was stationed or training in Enid, Oklahoma, but was out visiting in California for the holidays. We did not hook up, but partied until the wee hours of the morning with he and his friend. We exchanged phone numbers and he said that he would be back out in February for Valentine's Day weekend. His friend also wanted to date me, but Mr. Air Force asked me not to date his friend, so I didn't. I assumed he wanted to be exclusive, even though it was long distance.

He said that when he came out in February, we would go to Yosemite and go skiing. I was looking forward to it, as I had never been to Yosemite. When he arrived in February, he had a hangover from partying in Enid with some girl and didn't want to go to Yosemite, but wanted to go to the movies on Friday night and to the wine country on Saturday. Apparently he spent all his money before he came, as I was expected to pay for any extras on the wine trip and I was driving! He also didn't like Led Zeppelin (a definite deal breaker...lol). I had a horrible time. He also wasn't into children and my oldest son was around 6 or 7 at the time (spending the weekend at his friend's house). After he left, I went to this local hangout to have a glass of wine, and that is where I met my husband.

This air force guy mailed me pictures, including a picture of his car! Why would I care about that? I came to the conclusion he was a complete idiot and told him so when he called, about a week after his visit. His response? He wanted the picture of his car back!

Yeah, I really had bad luck with guys that year. I had ended a 5-year relationship and then had a year of dating idiots. In hindsight, I wished I just stayed home. But at 20-something, you don't want to spend New Year's alone.

Well if you had stayed home, you wouldn't have met Mike and had two beautiful children with him!

Maybe...who knows if we would have run into each other at that place some other time. (btw, we have 3 children...LOL)

Whoops sorry - for some reason I was thinking you had two with Mike, and Roger was from a previous marriage.

You're right - Roger is from a previous marriage. He's 30. With Mike, I have Heather (15), Zach (13) and Corey (10). I can hardly keep up myself - sometimes calling them the wrong name!

I think people are very vulnerable around the holidays and it could be easy to hook up with the wrong person if you were alone.

Okay, now I've got this straight, earlier when I posted I rememberd Heather, and Roger and I couldn't remember if your son was Zach or Corey, now I know it's both. LOL! Sorry about that don't know where my brain is.

And most people don't want to be alone, especially over the holidays.

Maureen, thats hilarious! Wanted his car pictures back!

At Joes last class reunion, a friend of Joes went there alone. It was just sick. He was all over any available female. Joe told him right then and there to quit being a lounge lizzard. I just about died laughing. You know its bad when another male notices and speaks up!
