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...

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...

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...

I Am Lucky

Last night was Redhead Night at the basketball game. Cindy,my fellow ginger and I both Uber’d separately to our meeting spot: the lobby bar at the W Hotel where we would meet and then go to wil...


Work: Well, if the writing wasn’t already on the wall, it sure is now. I’m sitting through budget meetings with the sales team this week, and it appears there’s gonna be a struggle to sell my ...

Dickin' Around

Here I sit in my bed, probably going to call it a night pretty soon. It’s not even 7PM yet, but I’m sleepy. I need to take the dog out for one more quickie walk and then I think I’m calling it ...

It's About Time

Last night’s event with Clint (Sad, Recently Divorced Guy with 5 Kids) was nice, but I really wasn’t. I should have known better that I couldn’t just show up at the event and mingle like a sing...

On Getting Out

I think I’m ready to get out there and start creating some things worth writing about again! I have started to get a little hermit-y lately. It’s been okay – fine, really, because I’ve needed s...

Leap Day

Kind of a downer of a weekend. The weather was great, and I did get outside a bit, but I wanted to continue the work on my clutter situation, and I barely made a dent. I really blew it on Friday...

Social Media and Secrets

I have lots to do, but I can’t seem to get this day started. It’s Friday and my boss is out on an all-day planning session (golf? drinking? whatever), so I think I’ll write an entry and then ...


Rather, I should say the end of my non-relationship relationship. What do you do with a person with whom you have so much fun and who brings you joy and happiness with heaping sides of insight, i...

Day 3...

…of hating everybody. What’s wrong with me? Work has really brought me down this week. Everybody is in a scramble because of what the head of sales has decided he wants to do for a big trade sh...

The Day After

Today is a gorgeous day, and I wish I had the day off for the holiday like a lot of people do. Do you ever wonder why there are certain national holidays that only some people get to take off? ...

Thursdelicious

My energy has started coming back. Worked out two mornings in a row before coming into the office. Now if I could just get through this pesky thing called “work”. As last week was the week of s...


Health: Man, I was weary and sickly all weekend. And when I was up and about, I comfort-ate for various reasons. First and foremost could be that last week was a week of drunken nights and stu...
