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...


Whelp. Where did that long weekend go? Hm…let’s recap, shall we? Friday, June 30th: Office closed at 3PM, however, I still had a bunch of stuff to do before I could get the hell out. I ended u...


I’m kinda over everything today. Frustrated with things at work (what else is new) as well as just general malaise. Is it because summer is here and everything slows down because of the heat? ...


Wow. It feels like this weekend flew by in a BLUR!! One of the reasons is that I was drunk half the time. I’m half-kidding. I also slept. Heh. Yeah, I went to bed super early on Friday bec...

Friday Morning

What a week. What a week!!! And it’s not over yet. Gotta get through today. Some things of note: Negative C. has gone all uber negative again, and I have a meeting with her and boss in a few...

In the Meantime...

Yes, yes! I am going to get back to Italy sooner or later. That trip seems to get further and further away as the days zoom by! I have Part 3 almost finished, and I’m actually going back to m...

A Little Behind

Updates on Various: A Big Behind: I have faltered on my diet. Took my dad to a steak place for Father’s Day yesterday and ate a 6oz filet mignon with trimmings, which was fabulous. Oh, and my...

MIA

I’m sorry I’ve been gone. I know I have the rest of my Italy Travelogue to write and I think that’s made me quiet because there’s so much to write and I don’t have enough patience to sit down an...


Thing about traveling with another person is that there’s always compromise involved. This day was the beginning of a doozy of a series of compromises that took a lot of effort and [what I thoug...


This is the continuation of the travelogue of my recent trip to Italy… [Note regarding Instagram: due to recent events, such as PBers getting fired for info leaked, I’m not going to give out my I...


So. In case you hadn’t heard (or read or seen on FB or IG), I went to Italy! Want to hear what happened? Going to use the same format as my packing list (two entries previous), because…why no...

Ciao babies!

OMG. I am back from my Italian vacation! I don’t have time to write an entry as I’m back in the office and SWAMPED. I see there are also a million and one entries to read, and I can’t wait to ...


Hi Guys! There’s so much to do at work before I GTFO of here, but I have so many ants in my pants I just need to write an entry. I’m pretty much packed for my Italy trip, and I’m trying to be a...

The Second Meeting
