Ugh. I Lost My Entry.

I just lost a HUGE entry. It was chock full of stuff about OD coming back and my mixed feelings about that and how everyone is revealing their identities and how I don’t want to because I do stu...

This Place is Magical

After I flew in from my business trip this week, I was zapped and in need of dinner and wanted to take myself out someplace because I knew there was nothing in my fridge but old moldy veggies (go...

Mercury in Retrograde!

Well, well, my little chickadees. What’s going on lately? Can you say Mercury is in retrograde? I sure can! Here are some of the examples: • Dinner last night with my friend Cindy was lovely ...


Procrastination Sunday! I was so hyper-productive yesterday doing personal stuff like cleaning the whole apartment from top to bottom and THEN going out to dinner with a friend and also going to...

It Was Bound to Happen

Finally Friday, folks. I’m heading to an 8am meeting that I’m 100% not prepared for! This is how my week has gone all week - why not just continue it into the weekend? 8am meeting done, it was ...

Thursday Thoughts

Well, it’s Thursday, and I need about 5 more days in this week to feel comfortable about where I am from a productivity standpoint. I have hardly worked on my 2 big prezzies for next week as fir...


My boss is on a tirade this morning. I don’t know half the shizz he’s frantically emailing about. Seriously, he’s out of control - working from home this morning and blasting out hundreds of urg...


So, the weekend has come and gone ALREADY. Seems like yesterday when I was so excited for it to be Friday. Alas, it’s Monday again. If you recall, I was going to go to bed early on Friday. L...

For Posterity...

It’s 7PM on a Sunday night. I’ve just spent the afternoon and early evening brunching with and then fucking, hands-down, the hottest man I’ve ever laid my hands upon – twice. My work here is don...

Finally F-ing Friday!

It’s August already! The last few weeks have slipped by. In fact, yesterday I finally realized it was August the THIRD and I’d forgotten to pay my rent! I never do that. I’m definitely a lit...

Never Quit

I’m headed out with my dog to go on a combo dog walk and Bumble date in 15 minutes. You can’t say that I don’t try, that’s for damn sure. RAD to follow…


Well, I have been successful in accomplishing exactly NOTHING today. I have napped like I’ve never napped in my life. Didn’t even take a shower today. Gross. But oh such decadent laziness. I...


See previous for the start of this trip. Now, onward to Sunday! Sunday morning was all about the Neon Boneyard. You know I’ve been looking forward to seeing where all the old neon signs of Ve...


What happens in Vegas…gets spilled here. I had intentionally flew out on Saturday morning, knowing that I’d have 2 full days of me time, not having to worry about work, only to have a plane del...


Brunch yesterday with the fam (parents, brother, SIL and their baby) was fun. We met at a Chinese place a little ways from my downtown location, but not too too far away that it was a hassle or ...

What I Did...

…after the guy ran away from our date (see previous entry), I stood in awe, watching him run away. Finally, after picking my jaw off the ground, I sent him a text that said, “Wow. That’s a firs...

Ten Things for Friday

Whole Life Challenge: I’ve signed back up to start the challenge that I did at the beginning of the year. It doesn’t start until September and will run through early November, so I’ll be on i...

Annoyances = Learnings

I saw this line in something I read today, and it made me think….and think some more. Remember, the people who annoy us most can also be our greatest teachers. What can you learn from them? Hmmmm...


I’ve been thinking lately about how I can somehow make a place in this world…thinking about the fact that I’m no longer of child-bearing age so that I won’t leave a legacy in a human form, but wh...

On Adjusting

Well, hi. It’s Monday. Another work week. I’m feeling a little bit better than yesterday; it always helps to have a lot of work piled up on my desk to get done, I guess. Sort of pushes me out ...

I Thought For Sure...

…that AA would ask me out this weekend. I know it’s only Sunday, but we’ve had a few texts back and forth (casual), and then nothing. I’ve been really, really depressed over the weekend. To the...

The Longest Week

Damn, this short week has felt like the longest week EVAH for some reason. I just finished this morning’s fire drill with the boss, who is in China prepping for a meeting that I should be attend...


It was driving me absolutely insane. I write about every single first date, right? How is it that I couldn’t find the RAD that I did when I went out with AA (see previous entry). So. I went th...
