Checking In and Leaving Again in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Touching base before I leave on another trip. Philly this time [waving to DMT]. Gah. I do like to travel, but I also like to have things at least a little settled also. I feel really discomb...
Drama Red in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Im painting my bathroom this weekend. The colors called Drama Red. I wanted a beautiful, deep, rich, velvety look to contrast with the white tiling that covers most of the walls halfway up a...
I’m Not Worthy…But I Like It! in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Just flew in from NYC. Uh yeah. Another wonderful trip. How much do I love New York? Lots. Especially since there is such a cute Canadian hottie there just waiting to take me out every ti...
A Rather Moving Story (1) in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Its Saturday morning and I feel a bit rested. Now I can report some of the noteworthy events that took place over the time I was gone and during the move: I turned 35. Ouch. The birthday d...
A Rather Moving Story (2) in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Events of move, continued from previous entry… Worked Tues., Wed., Thurs. Still a blur of uncharted territory. Made plans to go to NYC next week to get into the groove. Im going to love thi...
Told You So. in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Yes. I told you Id be back! I would love to say that Im here and Im settled in and feel wonderful, but the truth is, Im sitting amid mountains of boxes and paper and wires and cables and s...
Exhausted. in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Just got back in. Drove to new location last Sunday. Drive didn’t suck thanks to the mobile phone and some fun conversations (special thanks to my special OD pal). Also thanks to my CD playe...
I’ll Be Back… in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Whoops. One more thing. As I prepare for the movers to come, I just realized that I may not be back here until after my final move. My new apartment’s not going to be ready for me to move i...
Progress (or Lack Thereof) Report in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
I am bound and determined to write an entry tonight. I already started a sickeningly sappy one, but I got a tummy ache when I reread it. So I guess Ill try to write an entry where I dont gus...
New Places, Red Faces, Old Vices in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Back from The Great Midwestern Apartment Hunt. Was successful, I think. I looked at several places. Some with the help of Angie, the rental agent, some with the advice of a fellow OD-er, some...
Highs/Goodbyes in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Whoa. I knew this month would be a wild emotional rollercoaster, but it is almost out of control. The highs are practically in outer space while the lows sink me down into uncharted waters. L...
Wrap It All Up in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Oy. The stuff Im finding as I clean out my desk drawers and closets and files and storage. Im a sentimental person to begin with. This is memory overload!! This moving business is very hard on...
“He Really Likes You.” in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
I cant tell you how many times Ive heard someone tell me that after meeting Super T. Ive introduced him to a huge number of my friends and colleagues now, and everyone I mean everyone says ...
Operation Outta There: Her Reaction in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Had to wait a torturous amount of time before I could hand Big Boss my letter of resignation. Our meeting wasnt until 1:00, and by that time Id just about come unglued. I couldnt eat a thin...
Quittin’ Time in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Todays the day that I march right into Big Bosss office and tell her to shove this job right up her ass. The only reason Im not doing it to Mr. Peepers is that hes out of the country for an...
Because I Have So Much Time…(1) in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Yeah. Tons of time to procrastinate. So here’s the survey that everyone’s been passing around. I snagged it from Sweet Jane: 1. Your name spelled backwards. Regnig Of course, my names no...
Because I Have So Much Time…(2) in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Here’s the rest: 26. Orange Juice or apple? Orange. Maybe a tad pulpy. How bout a splash of champagne? 27. Who was the last person you went out to dinner with and where did you dine? S...
Oh, Canada! in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Whelp. Was never able to get back onto OD for the rest of my trip. But now Im back. Took the morning off to try to compose myself. Unpack. Get expenses together. All that stuff. Of cours...
Where Was I? in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)

Official…Almost. in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Yeah. It’s official. I can’t live without OD. Sunday morning. Going to meet the girls downstairs in the lobby at 10:30 so we can snack and then do a little personal shopping at H & M , ...
Spaz in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
No time to write, really. I’m out the door ridiculously early to head to NYC with the girls. Yes, this is a working trip and I really shouldn’t be so frazzled. Nor should I be trying so hard ...
What Have I Done?! in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Yesterday I groggily started typing out an entry directly into OD. For some reason, my fingers started and just didnt stop. When I finally tired of spilling drivel, I hit the save button, only ...
Consolations/Negotiations in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Talked to LDL for about an hour and a half last night. Not pretty. I feel so awful for him. Mostly for losing his beautiful dog and the way he lost him. But he told me, and I believe him, th...
Horrified. in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Started to write an entry about all the other great stuff that happened over the weekend. I got a paragraph written early this morning because I had to leave for work extra early (at 6:30!!!) b...
Pleasantly Surprised. Sh*tlessly Scared. in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)
Friday afternoon. Friday the 13th. I spent a good portion of the day doing what is now essentially my job: covering my ass. Bleck. Eventually, I just started goofing off and chit chatting w...
