The First Step Towards Cat Lady

How does a 37 year old intelligent woman with a glowing personality end up on the path to Cat Lady? It's not something you just wake up and decide one day that your life ambition is to be forever alone and the owner of 52 cats.

Its something that starts years before you even get to that point. One moment you're living your happily ever after and the next your a relationship disaster, crying into your drink knowing that your future involves probably being smothered to death by your feline fur family.

That's the condensed version, and I'm sure many of you are reading this and understand exactly what I'm talking about. Right now you are looking back on your relationship history pondering, finding that exact moment where the cat poop hit the fan and came crashing down on future hopes and dreams.

So what was my exact moment? It was the moment that I realised I had married an A grade Gonif. Don't know what I'm talking about. Google it and imagine saying it like your Fran Dreschers mother.

I digress though. What I'm trying to say is that I wish I'd listened to my Nana who said "don't do it" when I got engaged at 18 and then married at 20. That would have saved me the future issue of having to deal with a philandering husband who ended up running off with another woman.

That's it. That's the moment where it all changed. After that I ended up dating a string of wrong men intent on the fact that if I found someone to love me I would love myself. One disastrous relationship after another up until this point.

Now I find myself not getting into relationships for the wrong reason and truly wanting a lasting relationship with someone who can be my person....But do you think I can find him!

I often watched Sex and the City and thought to myself it can't possibly be that bad out there. But guess what I've discovered. It Is That Bad!!

So what's a woman to do?

Well she must write about it of course. She must share her wisdom and mishaps with the rest of the world. Women can read and not feel so alone in this deep sea of strangeness that is the dating world. And well everyone else can just laugh at me.

And with that the blog is born!
