Back to work

Well, my week off is over, and I am back to work... one thing I would like to avoid while planning my future is to avoid having winter evening activities. It is way to cold out tonight to be running around. I am happy to be home, looking forward to climbing into bed. I wonder if I could use facebook to maybe put together a book club that meets online in winter... I am from a fortunate age... Thank God for social media.

New Years Eve 2011 - 2012

New Year's Eve will be spent at home with my daughter and her best friend. Actually the best friend is a probably, she is very loyal. This is all on account of stomach flu and fever, otherwise I would be spending tonight either at my sisters or alone, asleep by 11:00. I will likely have to do a bit of planning in the future.
 Happy New Year!

Newbie

Hello blog-o-sphere, I am rather new to this whole thing, but since I am starting the slow burn of turning into the old maid that parenting had put off for quite a few years I thought I might reach out to see if I am alone in this.
History, I am a single parent from day 1 of parenting, and now with my daughter turning 20 in a few months, and most likely going off to school before the 2012 is done, I am just curious to find out what I can do with all the free time I am experiencing now, and will experience in the near future.
I didn't necessarily choose to be a single parent, but once I had begun the journey, I wanted to make sure that there were no distractions to the serious job I was given of raising a human so I remained single. I don't really want this post to be about parenting, and I am not saying I was a great one, I was and am dedicated, but the goal was and has always been to raise a healthy independent person, and as such the fact that I would wind up alone has always been in the back of my mind.
I am curious what there will be for me to do without a partner as I go into middle age alone, not a full time parent, nor a wife... just me!
