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...

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...

Saturday Brunch Club has turned into a smaller group lately, and that’s just fine with me. In fact, it’s much easier for us all to have one conversation together. Saturday’s topic was a little...

Is This Annoying?

Why am I so annoyed by: My work colleague, currently on a vacation trip to Italy with his girlfriend, keeps sending photos of the places he’s going back to the office and the “team”. I’m sorry,...


Didn’t realize I hadn’t done a RAD since the beginning of February until I tracked back through my entries to find the format. Wow! It’s been a long, long time. No wonder I’ve been so grumpy?…...

A World Away

I guess I owe you a story, huh? I didn’t mean to leave you hanging like that – I got super busy with stuff and then I was too tired to write it all out last night. So, yeah. SexyPants. Last Sa...

Well, I started an entry yesterday about the joys of a fresh, clean new month and how the outlook always looks rosy on the first day of the month. It’s like having a new start. But of course, ...

Why am I constantly hungry? I mean, you can’t be serious, stomach. I can’t figure out a food that will keep me satiated and feeling full that is not a bread or bread-like substance. As I have...
