How To Ease That Restless Feeling?

You are a bad, bad man.

No wonder I like you so much. ;)

Hey... I'm a bad, bad man... Or at least that's what everyone else says. I just think I'm mildly misguided.

Hmm... qualifications.... hmm... Ok, here are some; Well built, Sense of humor, Not crazy, Protective, Can field strip an M-16 in less than 15 seconds, Can cook, Knows which muscles to rub when you're having "One of those days", Doesn't mind watching "Chick-Flicks", Knows the difference between a 4 count and a 6 count static line jump, Knows how to do minor house hold repairs, Not afraid to ask directions, Can tell the difference between at least 5 major military aircraft by sound alone, and can hit a dinner plate sized target at 1000 meters (3300ft.)

How are those qualifications?

Oh, sweetie...those will definitely make the list.

But you were the first person ON the list, anyway. You were kinda exempt from the qualification thing. :p

I don't think it is unusual for an intelligent woman to get tired of the mundane. For real, I would never be satisfied with the static, domestic lifestyle. I think the more intelligent a person is, the more they seek life experiences, not so much that they want to be "naughty", or do something "crazy", but experience something out of the ordinary. I think living in a high-tech society enhances this urge to exercise the mind-or get the fuck away from it all so you don't implode. Look at the crazy lil shits we are creating with the non-stop stimuli... they have to be plugged in 24/7 or medicated just to be socially acceptable!

I made the decision to spend my youth exploring my boundaries with minimal ties to anything permanent or substantial, and now I find myself craving to be centered and grounded. I'm actually bored with flittering about, and wonder what it would be like to finish school, have a SO, be a mom...


Then I put the pipe down, and find myself at the club shaking my ass until it breaks...LOL.
 
sheath - you've had a lot of great suggestions here and I don't know if I can offer anything new. But I know how you feel. I've been there, done that and got the t shirt. I'm still not quite sure whether or not to throw the t-shirt in the goodwill pile. ;)

What has helped me was a great group of friends willing to listen to me, willing to go with me anywhere on short notice. I traveled a lot and found a new hobby. I got involved in a sport that is SO not me and it has become my passion. It has given me something to look forward to every year and has also lead to me meeting a lot of wonderful women.

I believe that it's your own life trying to *settle* in with the new and overwhelming changes. Hang in there because you'll finally get the hang of it. If you will need a Costco membership to get a great deal on batteries, then do just THAT! It's all about you - do what makes you happy, even if it's just for the moment. Reckless, based on what? Go for it and get it out of your system.

Besides, ABN_Ranger sounds absolutely amazing. Hehe. I have a thing for military men. ;)

Remnants? Kiss and tell? Tsk Tsk (if that's what that is).

Yeah, he's unruly that way. Like I said...a bad, bad man. :)

Thanks for the responses, all. I have just decided to HELL with being responsible and upstanding, at least when no one is looking. ;) I have been staying up WAY past my bedtime, shipping the kids to their dad more often than usual just to get some downtime for me, and doing a LOT of physical things. My house has never been so damn clean. It's amazing.

And DANCING. Oh, dancing. I have a few really good, inspiring CDs and I dance all through the house, in the kitchen, in the backyard...anywhere. My soul feels alive. Now the rest of me is slowly but surely catching up. :)

I still have that restless, howling at the moon feeling of need. But it is getting much better. I think once I got past the 'mental' part of being the usual me, whole new vistas opened up. I'm doing things I have never done before, and it feels spectacular!

Anybody up to ride a big ole Harley? :D

He IS amazing. Seriously. I'm constantly surprised by just how amazing he is.

Our CelticFrog is one lucky woman. :)

Military men...*sigh*

He is still a man, however, and can be particularly easily amused at times.

He still doesn't realize there's popcorn in the pantry.

But he can field-strip an M-16 in less than 15 seconds!

That's gotta make up for a lot. ;)
