Thoughts of Dating

Well, today it has been six months since David and I filed for divorce. How time flies!! I've seen myself change so much in these months and I'm anxious to see what the next six bring. I told myself that I needed to rediscover who I am and I would not date until officially divorced -- which takes a year. So...do I think I'm ready for the dating world. Yes, and it's sort of exciting daydreaming and wondering what it will be like!
However, after talking to a dear friend of mine today, I have discovered one problem with this whole dating thing. And I only have six months to correct this. I do not pay the least bit of attention to my appearance. Oh sure, I get up, shower, fix my hair and make up. Then nothing else matters. I'm driving to work today and look down at my blouse and think I've spilled coffee on it. If only so lucky!! This blouse is silky and hangs down in layers in the front. I try not to wash it too often, which was quite obvious today!! I get to work and it is crusty, it must have been there the last time I wore it. I managed to get the crusty gunk off but I had this oil spot on my shirt all day. How in the world do I expect to catch some poor guys attention if I eat and dress like a pig!!! Six months....I sure do hope I can change!!
