An Unbelievable Turn of Events in These Foolish Things
I’m still at the office. I went in for my annual review, expecting to get pummeled and ripped to shreds. I was expecting to start practicing my resignation speech. I was expecting to have to d...
The Weekend Blew By in These Foolish Things
Well, I didn’t have to ask Steve McQueen out…because HE asked ME out again. Again, it was last-minute (on Saturday to see if I was available the next day), which…that’s fine. I feel like I’m do...
TGIFF! in These Foolish Things
TGI(Fucking)F! OMG, you guys. It’s Friday morning and my boss has promised to talk with my team all week about their (lack of full) pay increases, and he still hasn’t done it! I have postponed ...
Was This a Set Up? in These Foolish Things

Weekend Update: SP, SMcQ, TBD in These Foolish Things

Les Miserables in These Foolish Things
Whelp. We made it to Friday. Barely. Another week nearly in the books at work and another batch of turds flung at my head by the monkeys. I know that’s such an assy thing to say, but… Remember...
Aching Heart and a Fishing Trip (?) in These Foolish Things
My heart just feels so heavy this morning. I found out about the Vegas attack at around 5am and have just been so weary ever since. I’m at the office, but just not into anything this morning. I w...
Secrets, Revealed. in These Foolish Things
Well, dinner last night was pretty anticlimactic, so I’ll just come out and tell you… The Bulldog. [ducking for cover] I don’t know, you guys. I wanted to have dinner with him just to talk about ...
Hump Day, No Grump Day in These Foolish Things
Long time no write, eh? I’m in the office for a little less than an hour and then I have to spend allllll day with my staff, taking them offsite to visit retailers. I’m NOT looking forward to th...
Last Night's Date with Steve McQueen* in These Foolish Things

Champagne Campaign Redux in These Foolish Things
Remember my Champagne Campaign? It was my trip last year, almost to the day, to visit the Champagne region of France - to taste and learn about everything Champagne, to cook (and drink bubbles) ...
Crash and Hustle in These Foolish Things
The Car Crash Incident: Just when I thought I had everything taken care of, the car crash incident of a few entries back remains an issue. I’d already gone through the statements with insurance ...
Social and Not-So-Social Media in These Foolish Things
I’m so behind on reading everyone’s PB! Sorry about that. It’s hard to put in the time to write everything down AND then go read - especially when you’re trying to cut down on social media in yo...
What is the Universe Trying to Tell Me? in These Foolish Things
You’ll never, ever believe what happened yesterday. Or maybe you will. The shortest possible story I can tell you is that I was driving home from work at about 6pm last night after a long moth...
Updates on Various in These Foolish Things
Today: It’s 9/11, and I’ll never forget. Never. I’m also thinking of all our friends in Florida as the storm moves on and they figure out what to clean up first… Weekend: Super mellow. I went t...
49 to 50 in These Foolish Things
My turn now. I’m on the countdown to FIFTY! Yesterday was actually 50 days until 50, but I forgot about it until this morning. I really want to intensify my whole healthy living stuff during t...
Retrograde Over. in These Foolish Things
Whelp. Mercury Retrograde is finally over - what a whopper of a retrograde that was! So many encounters with the past. Yes, as Parliament noted on my previous entry, I did email “the manchild”. ...
50 in These Foolish Things
The Bulldog turned 50 yesterday. Fifty was always a HUGE milestone to him. He talked about it a lot when we were hanging out. We haven’t communicated in two years. Still, I’ve thought about hi...
Week's End. in These Foolish Things
It felt like a relief to get all of that gossip out on paper yesterday. See the previous entry for the dirt. Like I said in the entry, I’m not sure if it is a set-up to see how quickly that sto...
Purely Gossip in These Foolish Things
You guys. I heard the absolute JUICIEST gossip in the office this morning, and I simply can’t let this leak because I think it’s a fucking set-up to see who gossips around here. I’m NOT going t...
Hurricanes and Aches and Pains in These Foolish Things
Here I sit at my desk in the office, just waiting until it’s my turn to go give a presentation to one of our customers. They flew in this morning and our company is giving them the full-on tour ...
RAD: Troy in These Foolish Things
Here’s a guy who I’ve communicated with on Bumble for months now. I wasn’t super into him, clearly, or we would have met much sooner, but I also feel like I gotta keep my eyes and ears open, and ...
Steve McQueen is Alive! in These Foolish Things
Remember how I said I was a bit of a nervous chatterbox during our date? So I may have missed a couple of important facts during our conversation. I mean, there was live music - it was loud. Su...
Skin, Hair, Don't Care in These Foolish Things
At the office and just not into it today. I have definitely been productive, but it’s been a mixed bag: • Working on annual appraisals of my staff - they are catching me on a pretty good day, b...
PMS or JGS (Just General Suck)? in These Foolish Things
• If menopause is fast approaching, how long will I have PMS? I’m going to google this right now… Ugh. Why did I do that? This looks bleak. • But I’m not sure if these blues are from the a...
