Partying Solo

Went solo to the office holiday party at the CEO’s house last night. It turned out fine, and it was a lovely party. I’m actually glad that Steve McQueen pulled his slow fade because it gave me ...


It’s Friday afternoon and I’m at the office, finishing up what I think has been a pretty great week, from a work standpoint. I have to say that going on the business trip this week to a place I’d...

A Couple-a Sorries

Sunday afternoon: I’m at work - sitting at my desk trying to get some things completed before my trip this week. I hear a text come through on my phone, so I look to see that it’s Tony. He’s a...

Thoughts on a Busy Sunday

Sunday morning and I have a ton to do today. I’m doing laundry and packing for a work trip I’m taking this week to N. Carolina. Attending a fabric show as part of my new gig. Excited and yet s...


Wow. Last entry of NJM, 2017. I’m kind of sad, as I always am when the month is over. Not sure why, but I am. I guess I love the thought of writing out my thoughts every night. It’s kind of ...

NJM 29 - No Words

End of the day and I’m so ready to lay my head on the pillow. I can’t begin to put into words my feelings about all of the “sexual misconduct” stuff going on. Matt Lauer AND Garrison Keillor go ...

NJM 28 - Overextended

It took me all day to finish my research report. And when I was finished, I finessed it some more! That’s the danger of scheduling a presentation at 4pm - you know you can always do more and m...

NJM 27 - Late at Work

10pm and I’m just getting home from work. Guess I had more to do than I realized, but I was also in the flow of things by the time everybody left the office, so I thought I’d just roll with it. ...

NJM 26 - Sunday Stuff

Yesterday I spent a good portion of the day decorating my apartment. I had also sent a few texts back and forth with Steve McQueen about decorating and asking about his family stuff going on. ...

NJM 25 - Missed a Day

Sad face - I missed a day in NJM! Well, all I can really say about yesterday was that I was soooooo ready to GTFO of my parents’ place. 24 hours is enough - even with two having their first Th...


It’s been a really nice day. Did the Turkey Trot early with my work buddy, Nance. She won’t be a work buddy for long, however, she put her notice in on Monday. Long story. The Trot was fun. ...


…skipped out of the office to do my research and ended up not doing it. So I’m going to have to make up for it over the long weekend. That’s fine - I needed to do this anyway. So I cleaned up t...

NJM 21 - An Option

Yeah, it sloooowly sinks in. I do have all the information. I’m definitely an option and certainly not a priority. I should remain optimistic, but Parliament is right - if Steve McQueen bails ...


Guess what? After all of that nonsense I wrote yesterday and over the past few days, I thought, what do I have to lose? Nothing. So I bit the bullet and invited Steve McQueen to the Holiday Par...

NJM 19 - Sunday Funday

You guys. So tired. I’m sorry to write entries like this, but it is what it is. I got up not-so-early after sleeping a LOT last night (was really delicious) and walked the dog for over 2 hours,...

NJM 18 - Scorpy Birthday!*

Just back from an afternoon and evening with Cindy. We went to the ballet (The Nutcracker) and then to dinner. * This was our Scorpio Birthdays celebration to ourselves! Was a lovely, lovely ev...

NJM 17 - On Lockdown

So, you know it’s pretty serious when you go into a company-wide meeting and there is an announcement that there’s a disgruntled employee who was fired this morning and now the building is on loc...

NJM 16 - Not Much, You?

I’m just tired. Been a long week so far and I have to give my first presentation to my team tomorrow. Nervous and not ready, I’m going to have to get up earlier than normal, skip my workout and ...

NJM 15 - Google Docs Down!

Whelp. I’ve been using Google Docs to compose my entries for months now. I started an entry earlier today and now the motherfucker is down, so… You will get a mini-entry today for a few reason...

NJM 14 - Out and About

Today I have been spending the day doing competitive research, so that means I’m out of the office and running all over town. I have stopped to get a cup of coffee and do some emails before I ha...

NJM 13 - Nothing Else Going On

Well. I never saw Steve McQueen last night and I guess that’s…okay? I mean, his mom is 83 and was having heart issues happening yesterday. She has a pacemaker and other stuff. Her husband wa...

NJM 12 - Sunday Spa Day

Last night I went to bed at around 6pm. This, after sleeping much of my Saturday away due to a severe hangover from the night before and getting in at nearly 4am from the Insanely Rich Dude’s pl...


First off, I love you guys. Thank you so much for the notes of encouragement, and most of all, the words of wisdom! I love reading each and every thought. It’s helpful. Truly. That being said...

NJM 10 - Big Girl Pants

I’ve gotten some interesting and important messages via PB recently that I’ve used as fuel to do a lot of thinking overnight and today. Perhaps, at 50, I can finally understand a little better. ...

NJM 9 - To Clarify...

I should clarify what I wrote about yesterday. I don’t actually mean that Steve McQueen set out to get me drunk so he could get me in bed. I don’t think that at all, and I shouldn’t have writte...
