Hello world!

Well it seemed like a good idea at the time……

Welcome to my first-ever blog post–yes, I guess this is a little like losing your virginity cause once you do it, you can’t undo it (although, frankly, it’s been so long for me that I consider myself re-virginized but that’s a story for another day!)  I woke up this morning and figured since this is the first day of the rest of my life maybe I should actually do something with it and in a fit of temporary insanity I set up this blog.  I’m not exactly sure what I hope to accomplish here other than share my (and maybe some of my friends) dating experiences and let you know that if you are single and dating in your 50’s, you are not alone!  So check in once in awhile for a chuckle (at my expense) and let’s see if we can make sense of this brave new world of dating the next time around!

**note of thanks to ‘Uncle Lou’–who K and I met in a bar at at football viewing party (I like football, K likes wine)–we told him of our search for good men and he told us to just keep smiling and it would happen.  He also made us both paper flowers made of bar napkins–apparently a popular party trick! So, Uncle Lou, my domain name justgottasmile.com was named while thinking of your comment so thank you! (Vix wanted me to call it DMFAO–dating my f**king ass off–can you believe it was taken?)
