…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...

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

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

RAD - The Tree

Sorry, but I have one more interruption before I get back to the Champagne Campaign… Name: Tree (as in, climb him like a….) Age: 40. Yes, a younger man. Status: Divorced 8 years (was married for...

*Breaking*

I’m interrupting my Champagne Campaign story with some breaking news. My ex fiancé, SexyPants sent me a text over the weekend telling me that he’d moved from [my city] last month, that he’d met...

Champagne Campaign, Day 2

Part 2 in a series on my trip to Paris and the Champagne Region… Woke with a start at the crack of dawn and I could tell that it was going to be a somewhat rough beginning as the wine from the ni...

Champagne Campaign, Day 1

A series on my trip to Paris and the Champagne Region… The day I left for France was the day Emotional A got fired by my boss – which was weird in and of itself. First of all, why wouldn’t her a...

Francy-Pants

This France trip is ah-MAY-zing! I’m calling it my Champagne Campaign. I’m a little over halfway through this trip and I want to make sure that I write about the following. Here are some blurb...

Updates on Odds N' Ends

Here’s a random list of things that have happened or have been on my mind lately. I thought I’d write them down. Hair: I cut my hair. I mean, I personally cut my hair - myself. DIY-style. I t...

Labor Day and Labor Issues

Happy Labor Day Weekend! It’s Sunday, and I’m waiting for my Amazon Prime Now order to show up within the next hour and 1/2, so I figured I’d write an update. Work is still super, super weird. ...

The Pink Stuff

I was invited to this social event last night by some friends. It was a pre-event event…a social to get everyone excited for this black tie charity event that’s coming up in a month. I met the ...

Old Roommate Stuff, Part 3

part three in a series First off, thank you guys for the advice. I knew I needed to write back to Lois Lane within a day or so. I agree with some of the comments to not make it about our relati...

Old Roommate Stuff, Part 2

Second entry in a series. I landed at the tiny airport in the town where I went to high school - small town in the Southeast. It was late morning on Saturday, and my reunion was that evening, so...


It’s now the weekend, so I’m switching gears from my work woes to some other stuff that’s recently transpired. Remember last month I went to my 30-year high school reunion? I was posting photos ...
