So it hasn’t been all deafening silence in the man department since I’ve gotten off of the dating apps, though most of this is simply residual effects of the crack. So here are some updates on v...


I have not given up writing just because I don’t have a crazy dating story to tell. It just might take me a little longer to come up with juicy material since my hiatus. Bear with me. It’s been...

Tumble.*

Does anyone do morning pages AND journal here? Or even somewhere else? I’m finding it hard to do both and I just want some opinions as to what has worked for others? So. You want to know abo...


Had an early morning date this morning (8 AM). Was cool that we could meet for coffee and just see where it goes. So here’s where it went. Name: SAM, short for South African Man Age: 51. Stat...


It’s been a week. Exhausted from prepping presentation, boxing presentation (17 huge boxes worth of presentation, which covered three trucking pallets), awaiting presentation at location three st...


Better late than never! This date was nearly a week ago. I started this entry on the plane bound for my biz trip this week. The trip has been absolutely insane - my presentation materials ship...


This was to be the date with the fancy business dinner, right? The one where the details were fuzzy. After texting back and forth a few times (he wouldn’t pick up the phone to talk) it was...


Go back 2 entries to read Part 1 So much has happened I’ve almost forgotten where I left off! Oh, that’s right! HANGRY, as noters have said. Yes, we were sitting on the rooftop, drinking the c...

Interruptions!

I’m sorry. I don’t mean to leave you hanging in that last entry, but so many interruptions…so MANY interruptions! I had a meeting and needed to finish up work yesterday, so I wasn’t able to come...


So JKD. Read back a couple of entries if you want to know the backstory. Last night we had our second date. I wrote about it in my morning pages and ended up sounding like a smug and pretenti...


The Guy: Things have calmed down a LOT since I last wrote, and that’s a very, very good thing, I think. He was starting to freak me out with his multiple text talk of wanting to “make me the ha...

Cautiously Optimistic

Guys, I keep saying to myself, THIS is how it happens. I fall for the guy with the sweet words and the grand gestures and I always seem to turn out being a sucker. JKD is laying it on THICK a...

RAD: JKD

Name: JKD Age: 48 Status: Recently divorced, unfortunately. I don’t like it when they are fresh out of the marriage, but whaddya gonna do?. He’s so fresh that he just moved out of the “maids’ ...

Ten for Tuesday

Had a dog emergency on Sunday night into Monday morning. My little Martini loves chewing on rawhide, and I do worry about the choking hazard, so I always get her the big bones that look like t...


So. Friday night weddings (see previous entry for context). They are tough to navigate if you have to put in a whole days work, but it was worth it to go last night. The bride and groom were a...


I’m not feeling it at work this morning. I’ve had a week. Prepping for the Chinese, working with the Chinese, entertaining the Chinese all week. So WTF did I do when I told Alfred (Chinese fac...


You inspired my sudden interest in cooking. You’re an amazing cook even though you don’t give yourself enough credit. Deep down I know you know. You’re neat and clean and you taught me that ...

RAD: O.

Name: O. Age: 70 Status: Twice divorced and very bitter over the last one. Not sure how long ago his most recent divorce was, but you’d think it was last week from the way he talked. Job: Crit...

On *REALLY* Living Life

I have recently watched someone I’m getting to know quite well take the reigns of her life and make things happen. It’s been an inspiring few months talking with her through all of the steps she...

Discouraged*

You know, I’m so tired of coming on here complaining about the man situation, but truly the struggle is real. Just a few blips and updates: Bachelor Party Marty: Either he’s just plain dumb ...

10 for Friday

Prince. What can I say? Prince. The soundtrack to my youth. So much joy and laughter and heartache and longing came with Prince playing in the background. Blasting his music in my car, sin...

As the Nose Browns

OFFICE GOSSIP ALERT! Oh lord. If it isn’t my issue at work it’s Best Bud’s. Seems she’s picked a fight with the wrooooong person, and I’m almost afraid that I’m going to get some of the brunt o...

It's in the Stars

…and Spring is definitely in the air. I keep telling [Athena] that all of this is related to what’s happening right now in astrology. Of course, I don’t really understand it or necessarily follo...

Where Dreams Come True

The greatest thing happened to me this morning. I can say it’s the greatest because deep down I’m still an insecure 15-year-old girl at heart. One who craves the attention of a cute boy and sti...

Five Things

Went to the storytelling show with [Athena] last night. This was the show I’d submitted a story for back in February, got a call-back but needed some re-writing. In the end, I didn’t get sele...
