10 Weekend-y Things

The weekend was delicious – I attended two brunches. The first was on Saturday, with Lovely and another woman who wants to be in our Brunch Upon a Time club; the second, was kind of a faux bru...

What a Week.

When I dropped of the dog at daycare this morning (she goes there two days a week when she doesn’t go to the office with me), I told the staff there that I’m so happy it’s Friday I could just pee...

On Keeping It Together

Oscar Buzz noted on my PB entry yesterday and included an article about bad managers, and it got me thinking. Sure, maybe some of my issues stem from having a boss who doesn’t have my back and i...

In Between Meetings...

Sort of in the middle of my day and I want to take a break. I have a big “thing” I have to present on Thursday and it’s going to take hours to pull together, and I just need to breathe, so I tho...

10 Things for a New Week

Easter was sweet with my parents. I drove out to the lake where they live and we had a super casual time. Since I stopped going to their church (it gives me the willies – nothing bad per se, I...


He bought a house, so it’s clear that he’s over the bachelor pad with the 3 or 4 roomies. Is BPM growing up? Eh, I dunno. His new pad looks an awful lot like a bachelor pad. We’re talking ...

Great Friday!

I started an entry at work at the end of the day yesterday and I thought I’d saved it in drafts, but it’s not there. Hope I didn’t leave it up on my computer at work! We had an all-day executiv...


I guess I wasn’t finished from my previous entry. I listened to the podcast S-Town on my flights to and from the interview on Friday and Saturday mornings. I almost got through 6 episodes on...

Updates on Various

I sent an email to my boss last week with the title “Updates on Various”. I thought it was funny. He had zero clue. He’s on a vacation to Ireland and Scotland, yet he’s still emailing during...

A Good Day for a Good Day

Excerpt from today’s horoscope: Insist on having a good day no matter what, and refuse to get distracted by drama. An influential person may notice your positive spark and open doors for you. So....


Go back one entry to get the backstory. I’d asked Maria why she wanted a photo of my watch, knowing full well that it had to do with the jeweler who’d committed suicide last week. She answered b...

Thirst Day

I could really use a drink. The day got a little more reasonable yesterday - really, until the end of the day when I was asked where all of this stuff that someone else promised I would do…withou...

Wednesday Stuff

Didn’t work out this morning. Shame on me. But I was awake most of the night listening to severe thunderstorms and wondering if and when I’d have to take the dog and myself to the basement to ...

Tuesday Bluesday

It’s a dreary Tuesday, and I’ve been plugging away at my desk trying to get stuff done after the big trade show. Yes, there’s a lot to do. No, I still don’t know if I’m the one who put my foot ...

Recovering

And now it seems like it takes several days to recover from a short domestic trip. What gives? I guess I’m out of practice. Either that or these shows just suck the life right out of me. Show ...

Business Trip

Geez, you guys. It’s been a while since I’ve taken a legit business trip that I hardly know what I’m doing. Leaving today for the big trade show and crossing my fingers for the best. Since I h...

The Weekend, aaah!

Saturday is finally here. What a fucking work week. Fuck that shit. I’m being lazy this morning - just about to head out to my 10am workout class, which is now my only class since the Zumba cla...

St. P's

Well, we made it to Friday. Just gotta get through this day…finishing up a big presentation that I will give at noon. And the rest of the day will be putting out fires that have started as we m...

Weekdays

The day didn’t get much better yesterday. The only thing I could do was take deep breaths and take things one step at a time. Just like every day. I will say that at one point in the day I fel...


I have 10 minutes to tap out an entry. I’m in desperate need of a mental health day. Literally every morning after I wake up and usually during my morning workout routine, I wonder about what ki...

Disaster Averted

First off, OMG thank you for the brilliant, smart, caring words, you guys. I guess I was thinking that if my entries aren’t peppered with scandal and intrigue, kissing boys or RADs or drinking c...

New Day - New Week

Annnnnd it’s Monday. Once again, the weekend was much too short. We’re back in the office and back at the grind. It’s busy…the week before the big trade show, and we’ve got potential investors ...

SCANDAL!

Wow, you guys. Do you remember when I went to France last year? I did all of my research for months and created what I thought was an itinerary for the coolest trip ever? Well, in my joy to pl...
