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 ...

Today at Work.

I’m tired and have busted ass today to get two presentations ready (one for a meeting with a celebrity in my industry today in our office and one for buyers of a large chain of specialty stores)....

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 ...

And Then...*

The work day topped off just as badly as it started. My biggest customer? The company I wrote about in my last entry? Yeah, well at 4:30PM they tell us that they somehow have misplaced seven p...

Kinda Worse.

Work continues to feel unsteady, only now worse. Found out yesterday that a competitor that feels like it came out of nowhere is winning over my product category in every way with most of our cu...

Thursday Quickie

I have meetings all morning and most of the afternoon, including a lunch meeting with Best Bud, which should be good…but they are sometimes stressful because she gets me riled up about work (note...

Time to Make a Plan

Things at work have gotten really weird again. It sucks because I fall into a place where it’s comfortable and good and I’m happy and I actually like being here, and then I get wind of the shit ...

I See You.

I forgot to tell you this. Saturday morning I was walking my dog in this area of downtown where there are a lot of museums, theaters, and performance centers. There are also apartments and rest...

Updates on Various

Friendships: About every other year my friends Greg and Jeff (they are a couple) have a birthday party because their birthdays are very close together - and Best Bud and I end up spending the nig...


…the title of this entry is what I said to Ziggy after he walked me home from the late night event in the arts district on Friday night. I told him I was going to be at the event walking my dog ...

Monday Five

It’s Monday and I’m back to work and my dysfunctional staff. I shouldn’t talk so poorly about them, but damn. If it isn’t the constant bitching from Negative C, it’s the CRYING from Emotional...

QUICK RAD: Arch

This has to be the fastest date I have ever gotten. I was playing around on Tinder last night, while drinking a glass of champange (it had been a terrible, terrible day filled with stress, tears...

RAD: Karl

Name: Karl Age: 48 Status: Twice married: first one, six months; second one, 10 years – AND another 10-year relationship he’s JUST gotten out of (or has he?). Two daughters, 17 and 13. They ar...

Weekend 10

My parents don’t like to talk on the phone. They rarely, rarely call me, and I guess I am the same way. We can go for weeks on end without speaking. It’s almost like a standoff. Thing is, I...

I Have a Secret!

Today at work I’m wearing this summery cotton wrap dress that’s crisp yet breezy. It’s sleeveless with a full, full skirt that hits well above the knee…and I’m not wearing a stitch of underwear b...

Aftermath

I better get to writing about what happened after the reunion before it becomes a distant memory. It’s already kind of a faraway memory now that a few days of work have passed. Go back an entry...
