Prince. What can I say? Prince. The soundtrack to my youth. So much joy and laughter and heartache and longing came with Prince playing in the background. Blasting his music in my car, singing along, dancing at high school dances, going to his shows and being BLOWN AWAY, even loving lounge singers who’d play his music. I found myself listening to The Beautiful Ones over and over last night and just sobbing. I am heartbroken.

Bachelor Party Marty. He found a dog at the park on Monday evening and decided to adopt her. She’s adorable - some kind of Australian Shepherd mix, sort of brindle colored with one bright blue eye and one brown eye. We decided to let our dogs meet at the park in my neighborhood on Wednesday. I thought it was a date, but he ended up bringing a friend (??). I brought him a bunch of goodies for the puppy (bed, collars, leashes, toys), but I still ended up paying for my drinks. The friend was nice enough, but it was a confusing couple of hours. I give him one free pass for being impossibly hot, but he doesn’t get a Rate A Date until we go on a real one. As we were saying goodbye, he gave me two very sexy kisses on the lips, so…

This morning I thought about going to the gas station where I met Gas Station Jorge last Friday to see if he’d show up again, but decided against it. Look, he had his chance. He’s probably already in a relationship anyway, and anyway, do I really need to be going out with a guy I met at a gas station? We’ll never know…unless I end up meeting someone else at another gas station who ends up having the BALLS to ask for my number!

Best Bud and Brown Nosey have a meeting together with their respective bosses today. I’ve done a good job staying out of the mess (see previous entry if you’re wondering what the mess is). Best Bud called me last night to discuss, but I was too busy mourning Prince while walking the dog and I just didn’t want to get into it. I did see her this morning while walking into the office and we talked briefly, but again, staying as neutral as I possibly can. I did give her some advice, but the bottom line is, Brown Nosey is protected by certain execs, including the CEO. If anyone were to leave, it wouldn’t be BN…unless she just decides to quit. Meanwhile, I found out that Ryan, my other counterpart has been promoted to Director and they haven’t announced it because they fear the reaction from Brown Nosey!! What the ever-loving FUCK? He has to keep his promotion quiet because they are afraid that BN will be upset?! Yes, most offices are dysfunctional, but this one takes the cake. I have finally scheduled time on my calendar this weekend for MAJOR job hunting.

I’m also working on another side project and am working on writing some fashion articles. I’m VERY excited about this opportunity as it should help get me moving back in the direction that I really want to go. It’s a great shift in mindset and I’m so happy that this has come my way. More on this to come.

Tonight I will attend a fashion show charity event in which my friend Cindy is one of the designers. I’m really looking forward to this as it should spark some more creative energy!

I had a dream last night that I was on a giant plane headed back home from one of my long trips out of the country. I was looking forward to going home and relaxing, however I could see that the plane was about to land on a highway (!) in icy conditions. I was a little bit nervous, but not overly so. I also found out that we weren’t going to land in [my city], we were landing in another place across the country. I looked up airplanes in my dream dictionary: “Airplanes often represent your high ideas and ideals or a way of rising above the situation…as a symbol of a lifestyle, they would symbolize a freedom of thinking and doing, a wider acquaintance with and acceptance of new ideas, customs, concepts and beliefs…a great open-mindedness, a live and let live attitude, a strong desire for freedom, worldwide travel, friendships. Global thinking, thinking big.” but the ICY part of the dream: “This is frozen water, frozen emotions such as fears and inhibitions, beliefs which say you can’t or shouldn’t…and other mental boundaries. These barriers to your progress are meltable. Faith in yourself and your abilities does wonders. Forgiveness of yourself and others for any wrongdoing will also facilitate the thawing process.” So, look. I’m reading this to mean, I’m open to expanding my horizons into new BIG ideas and even places or surroundings, but I MUST have faith in myself and my abilities. Sound about right??

Weight is stuck right now, but I found out that I won a silent auction at the charity event that [Athena] and I attended last weekend. It’s for one month of bootcamp! I’ve been looking for a new bootcamp workout since the park canceled my old workout system. I’ve been trying to do this all on my own at home and needed some additional motivation. My 30-year high school reunion is now less than three months away!

I must get moving - literally and figuratively!

It’s Friday and once I get these three big projects I’m working on out the door I can relax and enjoy this glorious day. The sun is shining and I can do this!
SO MUCH LOVE!
