11.2 Love the Egg You're In

I got one of those inspirational emails from one of those inspirational websites that you sign up for when you’re feeling blue and you want some inspiration in your inbox, you know? I do a lot of...

11.1 Where Are the Prompts?

Gonna try to write an entry a day again this year. I don’t know where the prompts are, but I’m just going to tap out an entry because I’m procrastinating packing for my trip that starts tomorrow...

Ten Things for Thursday

Birthday was yesterday and it was pretty uneventful by design. I knew I was going to have a super stressful day at work with all of the stuff going on (and now I only have half a staff). Much...

Fuck it All.*

The Tree’s been chopped, so there goes that. And after texting the new Tinder prospect for a good part of the weekend, I didn’t hear from him after late Sunday morning. So I thought I’d confirm ...

Weird Weekend Wrap-Up

Oh hi. I’m just sitting here on my computer doing WORK stuff. Yeah, I was supposed to work on a spreadsheet over the weekend that has all of my strategies for the next two quarters, and guess w...

Hyper-Analysis!

I wonder if anyone’s ever analyzed ME as much as I have analyzed certain guys in my journaling? It’s embarrassing that I spend so much energy on someone who seems to have such low interest in me...

What Wood You Think?

So, when I last wrote about the Tree, we’d talked on Saturday about the fact that he wouldn’t dare pursue others after kissing me and that he wasn’t much of a phone talker and that it’s much bett...

Updates on Various

Work: End of the workday on Wednesday. I’m just D.O.N.E. The last two days have been the longest two days I’ve had in a long time - back to back meetings, hours and hours of presentations to p...

The Tree Reaches Out

I’m not sure if The Tree has read this journal or if he has finally read my mind. After blowing me off for a sickness that I’m still not sure ever happened and not really getting back to me on ...

RAD: The Eccentric

Name: ‘Ric (short for Eccentric) Age: 50. That’s more like it. Status: Single. I believe he said he never married, but we’ll get to that. No kids, but his dog situation is a lot like mine in t...


More stories about my recent forays into dating… After my date on Saturday night with The Tree, I took Sunday off from dating, Tindering, all of that stuff. I was pretty saturated after two date...


Part 2 in the dating series… Last Saturday night was The Tree’s turn at a date! If you remember, I’d gotten a funny feeling about the guy perhaps stringing me along. Previously, we’d gone on ...


…Because dating can turn into a full-time gig if you’re not careful. Let’s start with Friday night, shall we? Earlier in the week I’d had an amazing date with someone I named Futhermucker (becau...

Part 6 in a series of my trip to Paris and the Champagne region of France. You can find the earlier days in previous entries… Day 6, Paris: Once again, had to wake early enough to make sure I m...

As the Leaves Turn...

…or WTF Do I Know? My plan of ignoring texts from The Tree worked, I guess? He sent me a random text from his biz trip in LA late yesterday that I flat out didn’t answer, and first thing this mor...

RAD: The FutherMucker

Name: FutherMucker (in his profile he says he likes to curse) Age: 40. Yes, 40. Just like The Tree was, but for some reason I wasn’t self-conscious about the age difference this time. Status: In...


The Tree is still in my life, still texting and sending “good morning, beautiful” texts and other things from time to time, but he’s pulling the classic Slow Fade maneuvers and texting less and l...

The Gay Ball

Last night I attended this amazing black tie event that benefits the LGBT community. I’d been invited by my friends (I’ll call them B and X), who are a gay couple I’ve been friends with for near...

Champagne Campaign, Day 5

Whelp, since I no longer have sexy stuff to discuss, I figure I can get caught up on some travel chronicles. Go back a few entries to see where I was. Then, onward… Day 5: Woke early because I...

Up a Tree Without a Paddle

Ugh. I’m trusting my gut more lately, and what my nauseated gut is telling me is that I’ve been played. I don’t believe that The Tree had to watch his kid last night simply by the nature of our ...


Notes on my previous entry are brill, thank you! I may be starting to calm down a bit from all of the excitement of my Tuesday night make-out festival with The Tree. I read all of the notes, go...

Last Night with The Tree

You guys. I’m very, very confused. Maybe I’m just not used to a normal date anymore? Everything happened normally last night, I guess. He picked me up (brought fall flowers!), took me to a...

Nervous Energy

I’m exhausted this morning from a business trip. Left Sunday afternoon, worked at the satellite office until 11 pm on Sunday, meeting was yesterday at 8 am. All-day meeting. Flew back home las...

Part 4 in a series about my travels to the Champagne region of France… Day 4: Got up slowly and drank coffee in my room and studied the map to figure out where I was going that day. I was headed...
