? As you all know on my previous blogs, I had said if I were to have a good man it would have to be God to send him to me. Well, He has sent me someone who is so very special to me. Thanks to some of our mutual friends, we started talking on January 12, 08.  Never in my life would I have ever dreamt of ever having a man like Michael.  Michael has a heart of gold. He has shown me what it really feels like when a man truly loves a woman.  For the longest time I could not understand my feelings.  Then one day it hit me.  What I am feeling is complete and at peace.  I know things are moving fast but it feels right. We are both so happy and in our hearts we know we are right for each other.  I've had other relationships but this one is so different.  Things are finally going well for me. My son, daughter-in-law, and grand-kids are doing well. My grandmother is getting stronger every day. I finally found a man who loves me for me and not what I can give or do for him. I have met some of Michael's family and I like them very much. I have wonderful friends and family. So as I have said before I finally feel complete and at peace.

Things have not changed much. My philosophy on men have not changed much, if any,  perhaps gotten worse. Men think that they can take women's hearts in their hands and treat it as a sport like fishing.  They throw in the bait, tell women what they what to hear, hook them with their poisonous lies, reel them in, and then just throw them back out and move on to the next vulnerable fish. These men do not look back to see where the hook may have landed. Be it in the eyes where a woman is so blinded she can not see straight, or in the heart where it is left to bleed to death and die from all the hurt.
People have always told me never to go looking for men, let them come to you. I have learn that even when they come to you, pursue you, it is still the same. All lies and it hurts even more cause you are caught off guard and believe what they are telling you. Let's face it, you did not go looking for them, they came looking for you. Call me naive, I know, I tend to believe and take what people tell me at face value.
Why is it that when a woman has so much love to give to a man, they take it and just throw it away? If it hurts this much to love someone, what is the use of love then. For the time being I think the only love I will be giving is gunna be for my family and friends. Until God sees fit to send me a good man, my love will not be given to any man. Well that is my thoughts for the moment. LOL
For many years I had not dated or even seen men because of all the hurt and pain I have gone through through out the years. Well this year I decided it was time for a change. I had a couple of male friends. Ha Ha now I remember why I had stop dating. Things have not changed in 19 yrs. Still lies, cheating and hurt.
I am happy for those that are married and have worked hard on their marriages. For all of you people that are married, things may be rough at times but stay with it at all possible because it is jungle out there and the grass "IS NOT GREENER"  on the other side.
Sorry to bore  y'all with my words but I had to just get these things off  my chest.  
 
May the Good Lord Bless you all

 I made this recipe from the top of my head one day. I guess I was bored. I am still trying different ways to cook it. You may also add shrimp to it. You can also double the recipe. Play around with it. This is by far a healthy diet meal, but oh so good. Enjoy making it and eating it.

 
Ingredients
1 package 6 oz clean crab meat
1 pound crawfish tails
1 can mushroom soup
1 onion chopped
1 small bell pepper chopped
1 small to medium tomato diced and seeded
2 tbsp butter
1 can mushrooms (small 6 oz)
1 Bag of each grated cheeses (half cheddar and half mozzarella)
Jalapeno Peppers
Season to taste
1  large package of boiled egg noodles
PAM spray
Captain Wafers Crackers crushed

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Boil noodles. Saute onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and tomato over medium to low fire in the butter.

Add crawfish and crab meat to the sauteed vegetables. Cook five to ten minutes; stirring often to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Add the mushroom soup, jalapenos and one half of both cheeses. Add the seasoning of your choice. Add in the boiled noodles.

Spray a glass 2 quart bowl or 9x13 pan. Pour the mixture in the pan or bowl. Bake 15-20 min.  Can be put in 2 9x13 pan

Add the remainder of cheeses and top with crumbled crackers Cook an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

I would like to know where all the good men are. Out of my whole life I have yet to find a good man. Men make it seem like they are all good but it is all a front. I have not found a man that has been true to me although I have been true to them. I am the type of person when I am with a man he is my everything. I treat them like kings. I would serve them hand and foot if need be. I guess I am looking for that fairy tale love or a soap opra love. It does not exist in my book. I guess I tried too hard. I have seen a couple of men lately and it is all the same bullshit. Putting up fronts. It is so hard to be single these days. You never know if they are truely interseted in you or pulling the wool over my eyes. The way I see it, it is getting hard to see. Must be the wool over my eyes. I guess God will send me a good man for once in my life when He sees fit.  I pray.

 Well kinda. I guess I have just been looking in all the wrong places for men cause all the ones I have been with since my being an adult have all been either cheaters, "womanizers", liars, and drinkers.  Ok, I guess they are all in the same catagory. LOL  Just been in a bad mood lately. And listening to all that tear jerking music does not help. That is why lately I could " if I had the money," just go off and just get drunk for a week. LOL But then again all the bullshit would still be here when I would sober up and come back home. LOl Ok talk to ya lata.  Love Ya!!!

 Donna,    I hear you and I feel your pain. I know where you coming from..... There has got to be some good men somewhere that are worthy of the kind of love that we have to offer men. Or is it that they are scared of real LOVE?

 To all of you that were affected by Hurricane Rita, today is our anniversary. If you are like me it is a day we will never in a life time forget. I am still very heartbroken about it, but a hurricane like that will not break us. I am so proud to be from Forked Island, but most of all I am so proud to have all of you as my community family. We are a very strong and giving people. You also should be proud. I am glad that we as a community, stands together and helps out one another not only in times of need but always. Thank God we did not lose any members of our precious community family. I love all you guys.

 

Happy Survivors Day
