You would probably think I learned a lesson from the whole Seal situation. Or Hot IT Guy. But alas, I did not. Today a new work crush surfaced in the form of a newly-hired piece of eye candy that had … Continue reading

Today I had lunch with Ex-Husband, something we seem to try to do at least once a month. That man makes me laugh so hard it’s almost stupid. Today, as I sat across from him, I couldn’t help but notice … Continue reading

I can’t concentrate today.  There are so many factors to this.    OUM is rambling non-stop at the auditor and it’s painful to listen to.  He’s also much louder than the music coming from my headphones into my ear, but … Continue reading

free your self

A few months ago one of my original favorite baristas at my current Starbucks told me that one of the customers had been asking about me.  “Who is that woman with the fabulous shoes?” he had asked.  I got a … Continue reading

I didn’t find the new family for my pups on craigslist, but rather she was a woman who worked in my office. Still, I didn’t follow my gut, which was telling me that this chick was just too dumb to … Continue reading

right?

It’s good, though. Right? They won’t be in their crates 14 hours a day. They won’t wonder why their mama is busy around the kitchen instead of letting them out to play. Right? They will be better off with a … Continue reading

It’s at the point where I’m starting to feel like Dave is intentionally trying to feed me blog fodder. If he is – I thank him, as some days I have little to say. Last week he sent me a … Continue reading

Last night when I was driving home from Buckhead after seeing The Help with Solo Cruisin, I noticed a car behind me as I made my way up 400 to 285.  I didn’t notice anything about it except that it … Continue reading

You couldn’t say I was nervous about the interview today…more anxious. And not in an anxiety kinda way, but excited and ready and just wanting that stubborn clock to get to 1pm! I’d been positively giddy since finding out about … Continue reading
