April 22

Back on another plane, exhausted. Business trips really wear me out. These all-day meetings are a drain. Monday, we arrived at a beautiful resort, and it was a beautiful day in Phoenix. We we...

April 20

Weird weekend starting with a weird end to the week. I wish, wish, wish I could either get it together with the Bulldog or get out. But here I keep going on vacillating between bliss and disapp...

April 16

I miss writing every day like I did in March. I think I’m going to try a little bit harder - even if it’s just to get a few thoughts in. Today was a pretty rough day at work. Actually, this who...


Started to write many entries in my head. Not really sure what’s going on in there. I’m annoyed with myself lately. Just for various reasons. I let the Bulldog get under my skin and it’s itchi...


I avoided talking with SexyPants the other night after I asked him if he wanted to discuss The Ring. When he called I was actually on the phone discussing my options with the Bulldog. I asked ...


Monday. Back at work today after a lovely, lovely weekend. I didn’t sleep well and had a really hard time waking up this morning. Didn’t do my workout, and I’m pissed at myself for that becaus...

Springtime Party

What fun! I’m so happy I had that party last night. It seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. The great thing was that I got to see several friends I hadn’t seen in a long, long time…all in...

I wrote this on my Facebook wall: *Prohibition has ended! What did I learn from a month of no alcohol? - I didn’t go out much - I didn’t win friends - I didn’t lose we...

March 31

I missed squeaking in my LAST entry of my All-Write and No-Drink Month! Damn. Yesterday was a 7. But the sex made it a 9. I am free to drink now, but not sure that I want to. Must cancel my date...

March 30

Today was a 5. Neutral. Work sucked, but everything else was okay, I guess. Tomorrow is my last day of self-imposed sobriety. I still haven’t pulled the trigger on canceling with SB on Wednesd...

March 29

Home stretch with the drinking moratorium. Got up today and went on a long, long walk. Such a long walk that the puppy had to be carried home! Poor thing…that walk just wore her out. I was...

Backdating because I forgot to write yesterday! Well, I didn’t really forget. I was out. I started the day with a dog training session at the park with the pup (I actually skipped boot camp to...

Day 27 - a suck of a day. Drama at work. I was a tattletale on the consultant today, and I immediately regretted it. But…BUT the fucker is doing all kinds of stuff behind my back and I can’t do...

March 26

26 days in. I’ve written every day in March, and I like it! I’ve liked not drinking as well. I wake up feeling clear and good, for the most part. And while I thought it would be hard and I’d ...

25 days dry. But my dog isn’t faring so well. Today my puppy drank some of my coffee when I walked away from my desk. It was a latte. I should know better than to walk away with anything left ...

March 24

I’m going to start this entry at work because I’m going out with my friend who’s in town for work tonight. We’re going to have sushi at my fave place. Too bad I’m not drinking or we would do it...

March 23

Today was a 6.5. 23 days no booze. I caved and texted the Bulldog, telling him that I missed him. He texted back exactly NINE hours and 45 minutes later. He didn’t say he missed me back, so ...

Well, I just slammed my finger in the car door, so we’ll see how this entry goes. Hurts like a motherfucker. Interesting day. Started out really blue, of course. And I feel like I’m ending on ...

March 21

It’s 8:30 on a Saturday night. I’m about to go to bed. This is pitiful. This morning I had to move my car by 7AM in order to avoid a parking ticket. I got up and dressed and took the dog out a...

20 days, no booze. Today has been a hard one. I would like a drink right now. A big dose of medicine to soothe my ache. But I won’t because I promised myself. It’s funny how being good to my...

March 19

Too tired to write, really. I had dinner with the Bulldog. I ended up saying I’m out and that I can’t do it anymore after feeling like an utter fool. He has no capacity for feeling good about a...

St. Patrick’s Day. I wore a brilliant blue dress with a bright green chain print on it. It was spectacular! And it was also boob-tacular because it was a wrap dress (that fell pretty low) and I...

Rush, rush, rush was the name of the game today. Was slammed at work after essentially being out of the office for two weeks. I didn’t get as much done as I wanted. Luckily, bought myself a da...

15 days no alcohol. Halfway through the month. All’s well on that front. I spent a good chunk of today walking, and that was fantastic. I left the Bulldog’s place pretty early. I actually tol...
