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...

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...


I’m still here in this small city somewhere near the Great Smoky Mountains. I decided to take the day off work so that I could slowly make my way back home (via a couple of airports) and not hav...

30 Years Later

You guys. I’m on my phone, so I’ll have to expound on my 30 year high school reunion when I can tap it out on my keyboard, but motherfuck if the CAPTAIN OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM, the most popular and...

RAD: The Big Zig

Name: Ziggy (that’s really his name!). I’ve taken to calling him The Big Zig – just not in front of him. Age: 45 Status: Never married, no kids Job: He’s a financial something-or-other, but he’s...

It's Been Weird.

Guys, it’s been a very strange week. I can’t even begin to tell you the emotions and ups and downs of the last week…literally. I may have to bullet. Something horrible and sad happened in my ...

Advice Wanted/Needed!

Here’s the deal. I’ve been planning this France trip for months now. It’s not a biggie - just a week in Paris and Reims by myself…doing what I want, seeing what I want (or not), drinking wine a...

End of Long WKND.

Well, it’s hard to get into this Tuesday. Bluh. Where’d I leave off? Sunday. After debating back and forth about going to the bridge vs. trying to find a patio for 4th of July fireworks, [Athe...

4th of July WKND.

How I love long weekends. So, speaking of intense workouts, yesterday I went back to my Saturday morning workout in the park. This is one of the free deals, but it’s not the same organization. ...

Updates on Various

WORKOUTS: I have started a new temporary workout routine because I “won” a month of this bootcamp class. I put quotes around “won” because even though I did win the month in a silent auction, I...

The Short, Long Weekend

Happy Sunday morning! Where did this weekend go? I’m actually having a three day weekend because I took Friday off as well. It was a vacation day. It was a mental health day. And it turned in...


A couple of hours ago, a guy showed up at my office with a box that had a beautiful, gleaming and sparkly watch inside. He took it out and placed it in my hands. I put it on my wrist and he did...


Mid-June already?! I’ve started several entries this week and I can’t seem to get one out. Here are some bullets. Things have quieted down in the Sexy Excitement Department here in Gingerville...

Tell All Your Friends

This weekend was nearly one for the record books in that I had a lot of action and for the first time in a long time things seemed pretty sexy and exciting. Friday evening, I went out with [Athe...
