Well Christmas is over and the stakes are now even higher. I took The Witch with me to Indianapolis for Christmas. It also meant that she met my family and more importantly my children. It took only a day for her to turn my children against me as they poked me (physically) poked fun at me and poked their (my children) hands in my wallet. We had a great time. They (girls + witch) have common interests in music, singing and other potpourri of that ilk. My brother got me a watch for Christmas. Butthole. He then got me a JB (James Brown) singing statue. I thought the who JB thing was a really, really sick joke. This is how much my brother loves me. More importantly this is how much The Witch loves me. All the obstacles to tying the knot have been removed. The ball is back in my court. In other news I got numerous e-mails from friends and well-wishers for Christmas. Most have asked about Toni in a back-handed way to find out whats really up. Whatever. I talked to Cue Tee and Al2 while I was up there using the truth (family) as an excuse as to why I was tied up. Actually the Witch and my "chi-rren" were all I needed to make this the happiest I have been in years....

So I get a call from GeGe talking about her adventures since I met her earlier this year. Well she has been played for the last five months. I told her that perhaps she should return to the rut she"s been in knowing her man is seeing other people. She was a little agitated by my telling her that she wouldnt sacrifice what she needed to in order to keep a good man (she may have to think of someone else besides herself) I told her to wait until the holidays are over and then she could go back to the club and find someone else.. LOL!

My unadulterated usery of women.. Wow, that hurt (LOL).. I didnt know I was that bad a person until today. (LOL)

Real time update.... "The Witch" just told me she was pregnant. She went to the doctor for maintenance and came back with a few other things growing down there besides a cyst...

New Years Eve was great. We went to a party and had a great time. The place was packed with women but, I was content 2b with "The Witch". Only one ex was @ this affair. I sent out an e-mail wishing everyone a Happy New Year from the three of us. This should quiet the phone and the e-mail traffic down a bit. At minimum the hoes that dont care will show themselves...

I spent New Years Day @ her sisters. Her sister knows. Her mother does not (about the baby that is) She plans to tell her mother friday. She will no-doubt freak out.

Christany sent me a picture. Damn she is cute.

Christany says we can be friends, and I cant be a playah. Not bad. She is such a cutie though.(START EMAIL) Just to warn you, I wrote a lot.. I enjoy you. Your email was very informative in such a nice-nasty way. Or as my mother would say, Nicesty. Im just a little curious, and I definitely dont want to step on any ones toes. But just how long were you and The Witch dating before you got engaged? How did you know that she was the one? Most men arent willing to get married soon after meeting. I think it takes a lot of time being close to someone. Figuring out if there is more to it than love. Because I am a true believer that it takes more than love to make a relationship work. It takes things such as communication. Not just communication, but communicating effectively and efficiently. It takes committment, consideration, security, trust, and honesty. Im sure you understand. But, it also takes time to find these qualities in a mate. Again, just asking, please make me aware if Im overstepping any boundaries. My past relationship ended abrubtly when I realized that I was investing much more into the relationship than I was getting in return. But its not something that you may realize in the "beginning." Im not suggesting anything as far as your situation is concerned, just curious. I respect you telling the women you were formally involved with that the door was officially shut. Its commendable of you, again, some men need a pacifier. I will say that my experience with you has been brief, and in a way sad. We were not given the opportunity to explore the possibilities. But, at least there is a certain level of respect, and no regrets. Ill admit my amazement of your engagement. Im thinking, "Wow, I thought we were onto something. Taking our time, sometimes its more adventurous that way, and now, hes...engaged! And it hasnt even been long enough for him to fall in love!" The Witch being a friend from your past explains that detail, however, I was really wondering, "Is this man healthy?" LOL Just so you know, Im a writer. Short stories, articles, poetry, childrens books, etc. Some of my work has even been published. Do Not publish anything of mine on your website. Its copywrited. LOL! Seriously, I dont want to have to be the delivery of reality to those disillusioned women. Id rather sit back and observe. Unless Im forced to interfere. And we all know, the truth hurts! I know I dont have the body of Halle Berry, but do I want it pointed out to me that I have stretch marks on my thighs? Hell no. A good way to get put on my List. So yes, you can be hurt by honesty, even if it is to improve whatever flaws a person may have. Im not saying its right, just real. Okay now, hold on a minute, you better slow down with your list of things that damaged women. I deserved a good bowl of ice cream when that bastard stood me up on Valentines Day (true story, Ill tell you about it some day, lol). And when I was sitting at home breastfeeding my daughter, I deserved to call him a son of a bitch when he went out and fell in love with an online friend hed never met before. For that matter, all men are dogs!!! Okay, now that I got that out, the rest of your list is fine. I try and be humorous, I wonder if you know when to take me seriously, or when Im attempting to make you smile. Again, I cant make excuses for womens "dysfunctional" behavior. I would drive myself delirious trying to explain. Hey, I cant even tell you why Im the way I am. Did I just get lucky? But some women, just need that extra push. Okay, Ill share with you a story of mine. Im more than considerate. I try and treat people better than they treat me. Except for that man who I let use my credit card and he ran it up so damn high, Im still paying the bill on it. Him, I hate. Im only kidding, let me clarify, I have only had three serious relationships, and all of them are friends. I could probably write a book about all of the crap we went through together. But you live and you learn and you grow. I love your sarcasm. I just hope that Im never on the receiving end of it. I mean Ive felt it in some of your comments (very clever of you), but I dont care to have any of it directed specifically towards me.

(Christany EMAIL PART 2) Thanks for verifying the order of events. Quite interesting. Very interesting. Interesting indeed. so what else did you manage to squeeze in between that time line? How many broken hearts do you leave behind? Let me tell you a secret. Believe it or not, and I know this is going to be very hard to believe, because Im Tiffany, and such a wonderful woman, but Ive never broken a mans heart. I know, amazing huh? Ive been told that I needed to be in control of things, which I think is quite the contrary. I want a man that can be a man. If I have to teach you, then its time for us to move on. I am traditional, hence I am a Capricorn. My birthday falls on the 18th. Ill invite the three of you to the gathering. Hey, all men are stupid!!! So yeah, you would have told me that in the hopes of getting me interested so I would be completely infatuated with you, and become one of those deranged women. So you can write about me on your website, when I try and crash your wedding that I secretly thought was supposed to be for me. Dramatic enough for you? No, of course you arent stupid. Never doubt how incredible you are:-) Congratulations on your weight loss!!! I weigh 145 pounds, and I cant seem to lose ten pounds to save my life. Okay, Ill admit, I reached 152 pounds and had to join weight watchers. Ive maintained that 145, but cant seem to get under it. How did you do it? Im thinking of becoming anorexic for about a month. The gym is cool, but its taking to damn long. I have that trip to Germany to worry about!!! I agree with you about not having any sympathy for the people who eat uncontrollably. Its a little ridiculous, but I just dont find it neccessary to point it out to them. Youve been there, done that, so maybe you can. I thought I was going to burst when I got up to 165 pounds when I was pregnant,and the doctors had the nerves to say gain more weight. My daughter only weighed 5lbs 10 oz. So, what was that other 15 pounds for? Okay, thats me being such a woman. Okay Bachelor, I know that I may be living in a fantasy world, but you didnt have to take away my hope and dreams of meeting a man who can be faithful, fatherless, (okay, he can have one or maybe two, My ex, lied said he had twins, then his sister accidently let it slip that he had twins, and a girl and a boy, I was devastated, to say the least. I want more children, I have one, he has four, I like being a mom, but and here is another contradiction, I dont like kids, or other peoples kids should I say). Anyway, there is a man out there for me, there is a man out there for me (Im hyperventilating), there is a man out there for me, and he will be faithful, and he will be honest, and he will NOT be gay. Sigh..I feel better. But dont you dare rain on my parade. Its not fair, its just not fair!!! Thank you for allowing (the friends issue) to be my call. I just love having options. Bachelor, (that was my first boyfriends name, I called him Steve, hes the Valentine guy, we were together for six years) I have enjoyed exchanging emails with you. I volunteered more information about myself, because I felt as though you shared a part of your life with me, and I wanted to extend the same courtesy. Ill just say that maybe we will become friends, or maybe youll disappear on me again, and not email me (next thing you know you would have won the lottery, or had twins, and Ill be getting an email referring me to a website). However, so far, Im pretty happy with the way things are going. Lets make a deal and just say, well see. Work for you? I read the email and had to smile, Steve, I mean Bachelor, complimented me. I truly blushed. Thank you. Youd think Id be married by now. Well, I would be, accept, I tend to stalk my men, and display such insecurity, that I always chase men off. LOL, Well, I think Im single because men, like women, fail to recognize a good thing when its so simple and evident. Also, sex is a priority in so many mens lives. Im trying to remain celibate until I meet someone who is willing to give as much as I give. No need to invest intimacy into something that isnt worth it. Sex is a priority on many guys list. I like it, and believe me, its hard restraining from it, but I believe it will be worth it in the end. Maybe Captain and I will work something out. Germany, Texas, Texas Germany, hmmm.. You wouldnt have been any good being a "playah." I have the ability to read people. Okay, I make you take a lie detector test, but hey you have to be prepared, never know when some man is out there trying to take advantage. Oh, and my magnetic personality, you cant tell???!!! Honestly, Its not appropriate for me to answer that question. But dont worry, both of our charges are positive. Well be okay in the friends category. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care. Tiffany

Well "The Witch" told her mother and as expected, she hit the ceiling. Its predictable and unfortunate. I got an e-mail from GeGe talking about how she didnt know I had such a "less than favorable" opinion of her on the blog but wished me the best anyway. Being only with one person and settling into that again is a big releif for me. Committing social suicide (telling everyone *else* that I was off the market) was an even bigger relief. It sorted out, who were my friends and who was not and it quieted down my phone. I have had quite a few who decided to tell me off and of course the watch stomping was also quite a hoot. I"ve had some, like Dz and others that thought I was running into and out of many when actually it was really only JB that I was physically involved with and I quit her less than a week after getting back with "The Witch". I figure this trend will continue until everyone says their peace.

I got an e-mail from amazon.com wishing us luck.. It was nice of her to do that. I told her good luck with her husband (LOL!). Married women.. Cant live with em, can live without em.
