what makes me smile

When that point hits where it starts staying light out past the time I leave work (6pm). Eating crunchy chicken tacos for lunch. Playing games with men who try to play me first (see: Fake Boyfriend) and fail. The plan … Continue reading

freedom

Imagine my happiness when I arrive at the office this morning and saw that Old Uncle Marv’s chair was empty.  “He’s out today!!!” I shouted in my head to myself and my smile was so big it could have rivaled … Continue reading

here and there

I can’t see any reason the barista making my drink would need to be wearing her Bluetooth headset at work. I’d like to know you’re talking to me, not the person in your ear. You’re at work. Texting with a … Continue reading

what dreams are made of

I’ve never been one to delete phone numbers.  In fact, a couple weeks ago I went through my phone and deleted the numbers of over 100 guys I’ve gone on dates with and never deleted.  I always just wanted to … Continue reading

Why do delis/sandwich shops always pile the meat in the middle of the bread?  Am I the only one who opens her sandwich to redistribute the meat?  Do people who complain all the time/always have something wrong in their lives … Continue reading

can we text all this

One of the main reasons I hate talking on the phone – I have a short commute so talking takes up my precious me-time. Selfish, right? Second reason I hate talking on the phone – I kid you not my … Continue reading

it’s bachelor time

Michelle scares me. Like for real. That bitch is cuh-ray-zee! I can’t believe anyone even talks to her. She needs SERIOUS help. Serious. And yet I do not want her to leave. In fact, I think she should get her … Continue reading

the sweetness project

If I learned anything from the crazy date with Fake Boyfriend and my month or so seeing Dave it’s that I need to soften it up.  My guards and walls are so high I’m pretty much kicking anyone who comes … Continue reading

one more reason

At this point there’s a whole list of reasons I gave Fake Boyfriend the ol’ heave-ho…none of which is the chain thing.  But when I saw this on his tv it pretty much sealed the deal…

After a great dinner with Will last night I was happy to rush home to my sea of pink and white, put on RHOBH and crash. Even the whining of the nutso Camille couldn’t keep me awake, though, and I … Continue reading

moody

The dark grey rain cloud hanging over my head was almost enough to make me cancel my date last night.  Only unlike Dave’s 2-hour cancellation I was only going to give my Fake Boyfriend about 15 minutes notice.  I was … Continue reading

a few little things

One of my favorite baristas made me the most amazing drink this morning.  It was the perfect way to start my day. I kinda feel like an ass saying this, but I don’t like getting invites to co-worker’s baby showers … Continue reading

Well…it finally worked!!!  And by worked, I mean they looked PRETTY GOOD when they arrived – not perfect.  JamieLynne ordered them and I shipped them overnight yesterday to IL via FedEx.  Compared to the first 3 attempts I’d say this … Continue reading

dropping the act

I remember sitting in The Therapist’s office a few years ago and processing what he’d just told me about how I probably wasn’t ever letting the men I dated see the real me. I thought a lot about it and … Continue reading

down barista, down

Last night while talking to Fake Boyfriend on the phone (94 minutes!!! A record for me, perhaps) I discovered that I greatly understated the fantasticness of Sunday night. He reminded me of so many good things…and one bad, but we’ll … Continue reading
