NJM23 - Entry #27 in These Foolish Things
I stopped following the prompts many days ago, but I remembered this prompt (that I didn’t follow at the time) and I think I’ll use it tonight because I followed my perfect morning routine this m...
NJM23 - Entry #26 in These Foolish Things
Finally home. Traffic was a bitch - just like we knew it would be on the busiest travel day of the year in the United States. It took five hours to make the drive home. It normally takes three. I...
NJM23 - Entry #25 in These Foolish Things
At Best Bud’s place. I’m staying in her guest bedroom, which is lovely. She’s made her son’s bedroom into a guest bedroom as well now that he’s at university, but I opted for the guest bedroom. ...
NJM23 - Entry #24 in These Foolish Things
DAT = Day After Thanksgiving (the business term retailers use now instead of Black Friday). Did you know this? My boss doesn’t know anything about DAT. He doesn’t know anything about anything re...
NJM23 - Entry #23 in These Foolish Things
Greetings from my brother’s bedroom (he’s not in here with me, he’s just letting me stay in this room for two nights over the Thanksgiving holiday). He normally doesn’t sleep in the same bedroom ...
NJM23 - Entry #22 in These Foolish Things
Hi. Just me over here trying to pack for my trip to visit the fam and my old city to see friends. I’m about to have to put on my bubble suit so that I can bear to hang out and stay with my bro an...
NJM23 - Entry #21 in These Foolish Things
I think I’m starting to come around to this WFH stuff. Here’s what I did today: Woke at 5:00 and worked out at 5:45 (little snooze action in between) Showered and put on an animal print skirt w...
NJM23 - Entry #20 in These Foolish Things
Today was a beautiful day. I took the dog on three good walks and never even got the car out of the garage. The things you find out while working from home - I found out both my upstairs AND my ...
NJM23 - Entry #19 in These Foolish Things
Happy Sunday Evening. So, the binge watching of The Morning Show got super confusing. I’m not giving any spoilers with this, but I’m wondering how many of you who watched Season 3 thought that th...
NJM23 - Entry #18 in These Foolish Things
Well hello there! It’s Saturday evening and I’m spending tonight binge watching The Morning Show, messaging a couple of Bumble prospects, and writing an entry. How exciting. So yesterday, when I...
NJM23 - Entry #17 in These Foolish Things
I think this happens once every year during NJM, but there comes a day when I just don’t have an entry in me, and today happens to be that day. I hit a wall. Sorry. I’ll see you tomorrow and I lo...
NJM23 - Entry #16 in These Foolish Things
Sixteen days into NoJoMo. I just watched The Golden Bachelor with [Athena] on FaceTime. It was the Fantasy Suite week and OH MY GOD did Gerry put himself into a pickle! Are you watching this? I’m...
NJM23 - Entry #15 in These Foolish Things
Not much to say today. I stayed out too late last night (which wasn’t even that late, but I guess I just can’t hang anymore), so I had a little trouble getting up this morning. I have a presenta...
NJM23 - Entry #14 in These Foolish Things
I guess I’m off the prompts for now. No biggie. Let them (ha, see previous entry). I took my friend C to dinner tonight to thank him for taking care of Martini while I traipsed off to Mexico to h...
NJM23 - Entry #13 in These Foolish Things
…but Mexico really wasn’t ALL bad! I know I gave you the impression that it was a terrible vacation. It wasn’t! In fact, 93% of it was lovely. It’s a shame that I let 7% of the time take up so m...
NJM23 - Entry #12 in These Foolish Things
Sunday evening. I’m home from Mexico and exhausted. Whew. What a freaking trip. That truly took a lot out of me. Disclaimer: All of the things I’m about to say below are going to sound petty and...
NJM23 - Entry #11 in These Foolish Things
Prompt: Are you afraid of being your true self around others? Why? Nope. And especially not on this trip. Ha! I’m about to go to bed on the last night of my girls trip. It’s been fun, but I have ...
NJM23 - Entry #10 in These Foolish Things
No idea what the prompt is today - okay, I just saw. I can’t do prompts today. Still on my Girls Trip in Mexico. Tonight was emotional because Lisa, one of the girls in my group, suggested that ...
NJM23 - Entry #9 in These Foolish Things
Prompt: Thirsty Thursday! What do you like to drink - alcoholic and nonalcoholic? Are you really asking me this question right now? While I’m in the land where they push tequila on you as soon as...
NJM23 - Entry #8 in These Foolish Things
Prompt: Something no one else knows is… I was going to write an entry earlier because I had a ton of time at the airport but then time got away from me and here I am in Mexico with my friends - t...
NJM23 - Entry #7 in These Foolish Things
Prompt: What’s your biggest pet peeve about yourself? Surprised I’ve been doing the prompts, but then again, I don’t feel like writing about how stressed I am about C. taking my dog while I’m on ...
NJM23 - Entry #6 in These Foolish Things
Prompt: What is something you’re weirdly good at without having had formal training or much practice? I dunno. What comes naturally or easily to me? It’s probably something I should do more of: c...
NJM23 - Entry #5 in These Foolish Things
Prompt: National Donut Day! Do you like donuts? What’s your favorite? I mean, yeah. I actually love a nice cinnamon sugar donut or those little powdered mini donuts. I went to an event a couple o...
NJM23 - Entry #4 in These Foolish Things
You can find the NoJoMo prompts here! Prompt: If you could go back in time and visit one event in history, where would you go and why? I don’t know that I’d want to visit a historical site or som...
NJM23 - Entry #3 in These Foolish Things
You can find the NoJoMo prompts here. Prompt: It’s Friday! What are your plans for the weekend? Ah yes, Friday. The end of Week #3 at The Cool Cat Company. I swear, as structured as I feel like ...
