Happy, happy Friday. Into the weekend we go…soon. Today I got word of what my stock payout is going to be once the sale of the company is finalized. While it is not at the high end of what my e...

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?…...

Ringing in a New Week

Had a delicious, glorious weekend, as is normally the case when I get to bask in perfect temps and sunshine, drink mimosas on a patio, nap, and also hang with my friends. The only thing that wou...


Once again, I am THRILLED for Friday to be here. I absolutely live for the weekends! This wasn’t as terrible a week as last week, but it came pretty close. The weekend outlook is rosy with b...

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...

Ahhh, May.

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, ...

I Can Count on YOU!

Wow. I can always count on the PB folks to give me some amazing, inspiring, well-thought out, interesting information, comments, suggestions and ideas. Thank you for the words on yesterday’s qu...


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...

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....
