I’m almost finished with Thanksgiving vacation. I came down to Eastman on Tuesday to spend the holiday with Dad. I’ll go back tomorrow, and tomorrow can’t come soon enough. My dad’s hoarding pr...

---

My practice date was fantastic, and by “fantastic” I mean it would have scored a 6 out of 10 if it had been an actual date. As it was actually a networking interview, it would probably rank at a...

---

Sometimes I feel like I’m living someone else’s life. I went to a seminar hosted by a regional CPA firm. It was an entire day of presentations covering…sigh…all the many exciting changes in the...

---

I have a fear of embarrassment. Ironically, considering much of my childhood (and adolescence), I’d expect to be used to it, but I’m not. I realize exactly what I need to do to be more emotiona...

---

My company is sort of forcing me to take a vacation. We’re on a company-wide retreat, two days of meetings at a resort at Stone Mountain. Tomorrow, we’re supposed to divide into groups and brai...

---

I’m travelling this week to finish a fixed asset audit for our plants. I’m in Gleason, Tennessee right now, and I’ll travel to Crenshaw, Mississippi tomorrow. I booked my hotels, I rented a car...

---

I need to get a life if for no other reason that I have something to write about. It’s not as hard as one would think I think it is. I live in the Atlanta area, so there are loads of clubs and ...

---

I wish I could write something noteworthy. That is, I wish my lack of writing were due to me being engrossed in something interesting. Sadly, such is not the case. Honestly, I’ve just been lazy...

---

I actually made my very first PC. Let me rephrase that, this isn’t my very first PC. Rather, it’s my very first PC that I made myself. I’ve wanted to do this for a while, but I was too afraid ...

---

At least my ankle is feeling better. It's still a little stiff, but I only feel the pain at the very, very tips of the range of motion. My arm is another matter, though. I was getting anxious ...

---

I seriously hope I'm not growing old before my time. Somehow, I must have sprained my ankle Thursday night when I was working out. I was practicing spinning side kicks on the heavy bag, and I l...

---

I haven't been kissed or kissed anyone in over eight years, now. That's a really long time when you think about it. I wrote about these experiences before in my Open Diary, but I suppose I'll s...

---

I realize recipes scale in difficulty. I'm actually trying to make something new at least every two weeks, preferably every week. It doesn't have to be immaculate. I merely want to claim that ...

---

There's one thing that bothers me about my home. Pictures. That is, the lack of pictures is what bothers me. My walls are so bear. I've hung my college diplomas, and I even bought a few piece...

---

This week was a lesson in gratitude. I walked through the front door of my condo Tuesday night into what felt like a sauna. Yep, my air conditioning was broken, just in time for the 4th of July...

---

That $ 200 estimate I was hoping for in repairing my neighbor's wall and ceiling? It's going to be $1,000! I think I need to lay down.

---

I totally nailed the chicken fettucini alfredo recipe last night. My first time cooking in over five years, and I pulled it off. In hindsight, I probably should have adjusted the proportions of...

---

I need to just accept that in acclimating myself to living on my own again is going to require my making mistakes. I really blundered in the purchase of my washer and dryer off Craigslist. Don'...

---

Living on my own is awesome! I get to keep things the way I want. My bathroom is always clean. I can always use the sink because it's never piled up with someone else's dirty dishes. I don't ...

---

I spent the bulk of this weekend completing my move to my new condo. I'd been moving odds and ends there since I closed a couple of weeks ago, but this was the weekend to really make it habitabl...

---

I closed on my condo Friday. It was a hectic day. I had to work late Thursday night, so I could take off Friday to do everything I wanted. I got up shortly before 9, so I could go to my bank a...

---

I was supposed to close on my condo Friday, but I requested some repairs, which the seller agreed to. However, he needed an extra week to make said repairs, hence the delay. I'm taking next Fri...

---

Regards to .essie. who originated the topic of this entry. I liked her idea, so I decided to try it myself. Finishing a work out - I don't enjoy working out per se, but I love getting to the e...

---

I'm not sure if the following is a happy benefit of maturing or a sad benefit of being romantically inept. I believe I have a crush on my coworker Galina. Not that anything would ever, ever, ev...

---

I got the condo! The seller took his sweet time responding. Apparently, someone else made an offer of the seller's asking price, but the seller declined because that person wanted too many "con...
