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...

Somebody Stop Me!

Happy(ish) Tuesday - well, about as happy as a Tuesday can be. Yesterday was Monday, and I decided it was going to be a fresh new start. I began with a super-duper workout that left me drenched ...

Weekend Update

Good Sunday morning. I want to get an entry in before the day starts to perk up and get warm. The only thing I managed to accomplish yesterday was brunch and sleep. What a day. It has me worr...

What Would You Do...

…if you found out the guy you went on a pretty good first date with and actually were beginning to think pretty good thoughts about had gone out on a couple of dates with a friend of yours a year...

10 From This Week

You’ll notice that I’m not writing a Rate-A-Date in this space today. That’s because the George Clooney look-alike I wrote about in my last entry blew me off. He was supposedly doing business...

The Daily Bluh

I’m tucked neatly in bed and thought I’d write a little. Today was kind of a nothing day. Got up. Worked out. Took the dog with me to work. Made sure my staff was OK after the strategy meetin...


March 29, 2016

Visualize.

I have about 15 minutes to write a quickie. I’m at work and we’re starting a strategy session in half an hour. Don’t really have a whole lot to say, other than I feel a little bit better today...

The Plot Thickens

…or just gets muddier. One of the Bulldog’s really good female friends just messaged me on Facebook just to see how I was doing. Ha. We texted back and forth a bit, but neither one of us mention...

Go. Just Go.

I decided not to go to Mom and Dad’s tonight with the dog because that would have meant that they’d want me to go to church with them in the morning for Easter Sunday service. Not that there’s r...

RAD: Kelly

Name: Kelly Age: 51 Status: Divorced. A few serious relationships. Had lived with recent ex-girlfriend in Los Angeles before moving “back home” (here) a year ago to help take care of his ailing...

Good Friday

This never happens. I have the day off and nothing planned, nothing to do. Except I did offer to meet a new Tinder potential at some point today. I fear that he is even more sad than the Bulld...

Ten for Last Week

I forgot to tell you in my last entry while I was on the plane that the flight crew thought I was “somebody” even though I was sitting in economy class. It was kind of comical because they wer...

Coincidence?

I didn’t get selected for the storytelling show. Do you know why? A former meth addict had a story that had too many similarities to mine or vice versa. Isn’t that crazy? I wrote a story comb...
