My favorite character from the Charlie Brown comic strips/cartoons? Pig-Pen. Always has been. I remember the day I pointed him out to Emilee, she laughed and immediately asked why the dust followed him. I grinned back and said, “Cuz he’s PigPen!”
*Laugh*
Okay so … as I’m a blogger, and if you read me with any regularity, you know that I most commonly blog about my life as a single mom, and the dating scene of course, amongst a variety of other random crazy things. With regularity you’ve read of all my dates, my weird things and of course, of my life with Miss Em. Lately however, I’ve been keeping a secret from all of you. Even my Cookie isn’t familiar with this secret. ShaNaNa doesn’t know. Wingman does not know. Pretty much the only one that knows?
QT’s Mama.
Cuz she met him yesterday. As did the rest of my family.
So yes friends, I’ve met a boy. And I’ve been seeing a boy. And yesterday, I took him to meet the fam for Easter.
*Blink*
I’m still in a bit of shock myself. Seriously.
Okay so, let’s see here. His nickname in this blog is Pig-Pen. It’s what his family nicknamed him as a kid, and I had to laugh at that, considering my favorite Peanuts character has forever been Pig-Pen himself. He is my age, and has one son. We’ve not met each other’s children, and for a while we’ve no plans to do so. He’s cute. He’s tall. He’s charming. He’s fun. He smells good. He has lips that I can’t wait for ShaNaNa to see (she has a thing for lips). He’s a good dad, which is sexy as hell. He’s good to his word, and that is sexy as hell too. He drinks beer and martini’s.
So, in short, as Emilee would say, he’s a total beefcake.
Whew. I feel better confessing my secret. I hope it’s not gonna bite me in the ass. ;) I hope you all had as wonderful of an Easter as we did!!


I have always loved PigPen too.
Congrats on the man – can’t wait for more details!
I am so very happy for you! I agree that the good dad thing is sexy as hell
Maybe all the good ones aren’t gone?
Yay for QT!!!
He sounds great but Pig-Pen? Really? Is he messy?
Can’t wait to hear (and see) more…
And does this mean you are no longer with hymen?
**FROWN**
What’s your middle name?
-R.
NEVERMIND I AM HOLLERING AT YOU IN CHAT.
UPDATE:
RELUCTANT FORGIVENESS + INDIGNATION
Forgive me Cookie. No DickSlams needed. <3
Okay, that’s fine. As long as I still get to smash the Champagne bottle against your hymen to wish it bon voyage.
I was sort of thinking that I’d give him that honor, but you have sort of earned it.
Listen up, chump. I’m not gonna sail or Captain the damn ship. I just want to christen the bloody thing.
Oh man. I hope that’s not strangely prophetic.
It *has* been a while.
-R.
Woooooohoooooo!!!!!!! I’m SO happy for you! He sounds awesome! As long as you’re happy, and he treats you great, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! =) <3
Yeah for you QT!!! I’m so happy for you. I’m with Angel, if you are happy and he treats you great, then I’m here for you.
P.S. I’m also happy to hear you weren’t in San Diego yesterday…you would have been a ‘rockin!! In the OC where I was we just felt rolling, and since we had been drinking mimosa’s we thought it was the champagne, till we saw the lights swinging.
Maybe HE’S going to bite you in the ass. Hmmmm? HMMMMMMM?
Okay, whatever. But it was funny in my head.
Congrats, girl, on the boy!
I disagree with your statement that you blog about being a single mom. You blog about nights out drinking. And meeting old people in the grocery store.
Oh, and bacon.
Ah David ….

Love the bacon quote.
You even kept this from me too! Ok. I get it. Its the whole “jinx” thing, right? It looks like Cookie was out of the loop too.
Well, Pig-Pen better take care of you. He’s got a whole blog family standing at the ready.
So excited for you!!!
Yeah QT!
You do realize that this means his abreviated name is PP. So you know where this is going right?
So excited for you!
*Laugh* Danielle – Darlin, I’d be surprised if it DID NOT go there! XOXOX
So did Em meet this total beefcake you are speaking of?
Wheeeeeeeee!! that’s awesome. Good for you.
CONGRATULATIONS…enjoy!
Yay! So exciting! (I’m a bit behind on my blog reading. Sorry.)
Congrats, QT. I know I’m behind on reading blogs, but at least I’m caught up on your love life on the same level as the rest of the crowd. Wishing you all the best with your new boy.
