happy birthday, baby

Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning, struggled out of bed because I was exhausted, then stumbled into the living room to grab leashes and saw a pretty large red wine stain on my carpet. Really?! Yeah, so I don’t even remember this happening.
Sad.
Sadder yet is that I didn’t think I [...]

the not-so-secret romance

On the way to lunch today The AA informed me that our mail guy had walked up behind him as he was sending me an email. “What’s up with you and The Cupcake Lady?”
“Lady?! Are you sure he didn’t say ‘girl’?!” I don’t like being called a lady, it sounds sooo old.
“He [...]

i’m sweatin him

ON him might be more accurate, though.
When he came down to visit, and thank me 100 more times, this afternoon I got a hot flash to end all hot flashes. I was sweating. Minutes before I was not sweating. Seconds after he left I was not sweating. While he [...]

gratefulness

Doesn’t it seem like I spend a lot of time worrying about how I’m doing with this sweet boy? And then doesn’t it seem like just as soon as I freak I get a moment returned to me that has me giggling like a school girl? Yeah, new pattern I see.
Good reminder to [...]

the cheese factor

It’s been established and accepted that I’m ultra-cheesetastic, right? Ok, good.
So today my cute African Accountant is off work for school related stuff. He’ll be back tomorrow, but then he’s off Thursday and Friday to study for the GMAT. I had this brilliant (used loosely, as I’m feeling anything but brilliant right [...]

ga-ga

It was Tuesday night, software tutorial night, and I was rounding up the pups for crate time so we could eat without all the begging that was sure to take place if they were out. “Seeing how great you are with your pups I can only imagine how wonderful you will be as a [...]

do it my way

I’m a spoiled brat. I mean I’m cool as long as you don’t tell me “no”. Or ignore me. I can do it to you all day long, but for you to do it to me? Ummm no. Not cool.
So The African Accountant is apparently trying to give me a [...]

today was a good day

And now the song is stuck in me head.
I sent AA a text this morning to tell him good luck with his interview for a job with a big accounting firm this afternoon. This was something we’d talked about Saturday night and I could tell he was touched I remembered. I gave him advice – [...]

go away

I’m so tired of this stupid rain!  I don’t think it’s stopped in over a week and it’s sooo annoying. I have white pups who are big pansies about getting their feet wet, so walks are a huge pain.
I finally accomplished something today – hung curtains in my living room and bedroom, hung pictures in [...]

oh yes

Last night at the cocktail hour I met an adorable African who works in the accounting department. I’d never seen him before and was instantly smitten as he sat at my table laughing and joking with me. He said he’d seen me before, which I thought was odd since I hadn’t seen him and we [...]

move

The last softball game of the season is tonight. Booooo! I’m going to miss playing. It has been so much fun, even though we suck ass. Now I need to find the next physical activity to do after work, besides running, of course.
I took Matty to the park to run with me last night. It [...]

delicious squared

Ok, so we’ve established that I love to cook. Simple enough. But there’s more to it. And I don’t mean baking/cupcakes/talking about food or even eating. I love, love, love, love, love cooking for people…especially when said people happen to be a tall, dark, super handsome man who rocks my world [...]

anxiety be damned

I heard my text message sound around 745 last night and my heart skipped a beat for a second. “It’s probably Will telling me where he’s leaving the key,” I thought. “Or Lil Bear.” I rolled my eyes at the thought of Lil Bear. But alas, it was none of the above. It was [...]

heh heh heh

Oh, Lil Bear. How young you are, my little friend. I know it hurt your feelings when I nonchalantly put it out there that I’m seeing someone even though I’m not. I could see the little break in your smile as you stood at the doorway to my cube trying to be charming and seeing [...]

i think his name is Riesling

I poured a glass of wine and sat down to read some blogs to distract myself.  Truth is, I can’t help but think about what will happen when Mr. Delicious comes home, but I’m sooo not supposed to be thinking about that.  I’ve already made the pact with myself that I won’t contact him first [...]

anxiety and anorgasmia

What a combo!
Friday was a high anxiety day, and I couldn’t figure out why. That’s always the worst part for me. I know my 2 main triggers – guilt and money. And I was feeling pain related to neither of those, so why was I having trouble swallowing? Why did I feel so off? [...]

lessons in work romances

1:45 pm
Text from Allison: Omg…come see me
“So just how vested is Barista in that little bear from downstairs?” The woman sitting at the end of my row asked Allison after lunch today.
“Oh, not at all. They’re just friends.” Thank you, Allison!!!
“Good because I saw him at lunch with the new intern today.”
Yes, that would be [...]

random stuff

There’s a lot to do before I move, and I’m so grateful for the friends who have offered to help, which will save me a ton of money. It really makes me feel warm inside knowing people are willing to give up a few hours of their weekend to do what I consider to be [...]

more of the best sex ever

Every inch of my body hurts.  My thighs are the worst, my neck and shoulders a close second.  I walked my first time at bat, which was lucky as hell considering I’d already had 2 strikes and I was freaking out.  I need to learn to relax and I think this will all be a [...]

i finally had a stalker and didn’t even know it!

Ok, so I’m fickle.  It’s true.  And a crush/interest/relationship even…if I were to ever have one again…can turn on and off as quickly as the light in my apartment.  So after spending the night Sunday with BSE I was totally smitten.  And after the texts he sent me Monday morning my head buried itself a [...]
