"I was watching TV, bleary-eyed from the couch this weekend. Anna had reality TV on and as I faded in and out of my Nyquil haze, I reached a sad and inescapable conclusion: Honey Boo Boo&amp;#039;s Mom has a boyfriend and I don&amp;#039;t. I&amp;#039;m not turning my nose up at her, believe me. Her family may not be a group you want at your swanky dinner party, but they laugh a lot and really love each other. She just cements for me the simple truth that there&amp;#039;s someone for everyone. And I can be an everyone. In fact, it&amp;#039;s high time I started thinking like an everyone instead of like a just me. Because &amp;#039;just me&amp;#039; is lonely. I want someone to see movies with. Someone to eat great chinese food with. Someone to have an inside joke with once in awhile. I don&amp;#039;t need anything epic. I just want something between wham-bam-thank-you-ma&amp;#039;am and happily-ever-after. Something to tide me over till I figure out just what it is I want, really. Is it foolish to think of dating when I don&amp;#039;t know what I&amp;#039;m looking for? I do know what I don&amp;#039;t want, so maybe by process of elimination, I can figure it out. It&amp;#039;s just that it&amp;#039;s all so new to me. I only had a handful of boyfriends before Peter came along, and never did the bar and club scene or any kind of basic dating. I guess my oats were never wild enough to sow and now here I am trying to figure it all out in middle age. I feel like I need a guidebook and three lifelines on speed dial! When you started dating again, did you feel a little lost? Am I over-analyzing this? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
