What Do You Do?

This photo has nothing to do with the post but ya'll know I like to include at least one regardless. I'm not sure what type critter this is but I suspect it is a type of hornet maybe? It was much larger than any wasp I have ever seen.

Anyway, I worked many hours last week and didn't have much time for my blog or reading any of my favorites either, so forgive me if I haven't been dropping by or commenting on any. I only had to work 8 hours today so I managed to do a little catch up reading this evening. I'm afraid my work may be finishing up even faster than what we first suspected. I had hoped to at least make it to September before being laid off again, and may yet, but it is really getting slim now.

Great! A man that can make you laugh is a good man (in my opinion) Intriguing,and interesting too...girl go for it!

Jen said...

He sounds alright. Just be cool friends and get to know him a little more and a little longer in person. You will know then if you want to take it any further. Just don't lose focus of what you are doing and have accomplished so far. You've done great! -Jen

A new building has been going up in my town and they are setting huge concrete panels like crazy. I drive by real slow looking for the woman with huge biceps everyday but haven't spotted her yet.

Oh about your post today, I say go for it!

If he's not double your age, it's probably okay.

MamaHen said...

Hey Loretta! that's about my opinion also. :)

Hey Jen! thanks! well, I don't think I could lose focus on what I'm doing with the house but everybody needs some fun time.

Hey Ed! lol! well, you may not see her there, but you never know!
and thanks!

Hey FC! ha! no, he is definitely NOT double my age! or anywhere near that.

My thought on the flying critter - perhaps a carpeter ant queen decked out for her flying stage?

They do get pretty doggone big!

As for your friend - what can I say? Follow your instincts, I guess. ATB!

MamaHen said...

Hey Rusty! well, this critter was about 1 1/2" long; if that was a carpenter queen even, it was a world record. i don't know.
Yep, I always follow my instincts! has worked so far.

The fact that you share your feelings, thoughts and even doubts, Annie, is what keeps your blog honest. Everyone has uncertainties and there are no sure things in life (no matter what some folks claim). So maybe it would be best to just go with it for now and let things happen as they will. Age is a factor, but it's not everything.

The critter does look like a very large wasp, wich I fear and they always seem to come after me - guess they can sense that!

MamaHen said...

Hey Beatrice! well, Capt. Jack tells me that wasps are attracted to sudden movement, so that may be one reason they do come after you. It's hard not to run from them tho!

Yeah, I have plenty of uncertainties, and don't mind saying so but that's life and it's way too short to waste worrying about stuff you can't control. We all just need to have lotsa fun while we can.

Once you're out of high school, age just doesn't matter that much anymore. Annie, I'm so happy you've found someone who makes you laugh and with whom you can have FUN. All work and no play, ya know!!!

Frugal Canadian Hermit said...

I don't really think that age should matter in friendship/relationship within reason. When I was 20 I had a girlfriend who was 33 and we ended up living together for about 8 years. Now I am 45 and I seem to still like them about 33, but I am pretty flexible on that one. lol. Age is'nt nearly as important as the condition of the product. Take an old restored Mustang for example. That's nice. Or you could have a 3 year old car that has'nt been maintained very well at all. Not nice. Hope that helps Annie.

MamaHen said...

Hey Attilla! that's right and I was getting pretty darn dull. thanks!!

Hey Mark! yeah, I think within reason also, it's fine and just up to the individuals. Some people just can't fathom such a thing and some people it doesn't bother.
Fortunately, Jack is in pretty darn good shape so we stay in stride pretty well.

Enjoy the journey, and take your time. :) Wasps.... Ugh. Boy got stung last week- no fun!

Annie--I just attended my uncle's 90th birthday party, he is happily married to a great babe 25 years younger and he still walks 3 miles a day---my sister in law's husband is 15 years older---both couples been married for good long time tho' not the first try, interesting that---I think if you can picture yourself sitting together on the porch enjoying yourselves it's all good---go for it, at a reasonable pace which it sounds like you're doing---"hey" to Captain Jack who's making you smile---Page
