RAD: Bachelor Party Marty
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...
Date #3 with JKD. Bulleted.
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...
What a Difference a [2nd] Date Makes - Part 1
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...
Updates on a Few Things
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...
Friday Night/Saturday Morning
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...
Invitations and Entertaining
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...
10 Things I've Learned from You

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...

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...
