windows close, doors open

I took today off for a few reasons. Baking cupcakes for a charity donation was one. Needing to relax and regroup to keep from killing someone was another. Wanting to sleep past 6 yet another. Weekends are generally good for … Continue reading

this and this

I don’t like cornbread.  I think it’s the only bread I will pass up every single time.  When I lived in Brazil there was a sweet old man who worked for one of my families and he did the most … Continue reading

pull me along

Running in the thick, warm air is a bit different from the cool, crisp air.  I know, I know.  Not rocket science or some major discovery.  I guess before last night I just lumped May-September into the hot category and … Continue reading

The Knight?  Yeahhhh.  So he emailed asking me to meet him for tea Saturday (this was Friday afternoon).  I just didn’t have it in me to continue, so I hadn’t responded to his last email about feeling like part of … Continue reading

holy weekends

My Easter brunch looked something like this: And boy oh boy, I couldn’t have been happier.  Not because I was sitting across from the lovely Mr. D on a patio enjoying the gorgeous Atlanta weather, but because I’ve been dying … Continue reading

gooood friday

My plan for the jesiis weekend – clean, run, relax and watch tv on the couch with my pups. Maybe I should also try to catch up on my Google Reader.  I hate when there are items there I haven’t … Continue reading

my skit needs costumes

I didn’t respond to the last email I posted from The Knight and I guess that may have been bothersome to him, as he sent an additional quick “hope you’re having a good week” type email.  To which I responded … Continue reading

Do you know who cracks me up?  Carrie B.  She’s also one of my favorite baristas at my favorite Starbucks.  And she made what you see below.  My comments are in red and were made after hers (blue obv). You … Continue reading

and then…

The Astrologer asked me late yesterday morning if I planned to meet The Knight.  “Hell no!” I responded as I walked into her office laughing and shaking my head.  “No way.” “Come on!  You have to!” And then the light … Continue reading

it won’t stop

It was Sunday afternoon.  I’d delivered my cupcakes that’d kept me from running with The Crazy Runner, then returned home ready to relax on the couch.  I had a full glass of water, was just finishing a Greek salad and … Continue reading

This weekend I got a message from a seemingly nice gentleman on one of the random dating sites.  I’ve left my profile up despite being uninterested in the dating game and therefore I only log in when I have a … Continue reading

gentleman hosts or gigolos

In my research of the vacation I WILL be taking this year I started looking at cruises.  Surprising given the complete failure of my last cruise (thanks, Seal), I know, but they’re ok vacations.  Anyway, I came across a page … Continue reading

my friend

I felt like a teenager trying to make a date last longer as we stood in that parking lot, leaning up against my Jeep with our shoulders.  More than once I caught myself looking him up and down like I … Continue reading

There’s little worse than biting the side of your mouth when chewing.  Oh wait.  Yes there is.  Biting that same spot over and over is definitely worse.  Holy damn that shit hurts! The funniest time suck I’ve seen in awhile … Continue reading

the competition

Yesterday morning I attended a meeting of the regulatory body for my industry.  The first half was painfully boring – especially the guy from the SEC who spoke for-freaking-ever, but I couldn’t tell you a word he said.  Horrible speaker…but … Continue reading
