A new bebé, hiding sardines (so to speak), a Valentine’s Day Affair, and a legal conversation…

~Monday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:24. Two Hispanic ladies were already on when I boarded and they sat—and talked—across the aisle from each other in the center-facing seats up front. I’m pretty sure one of them was someone I commented about at some point in … Read more

Clearer in the light of day, some cheese with that “house” wine, dinner@Red Lobster, & Caribou, too

~Sunday~  I ran to the grocery store, and on the ride over, I noticed a few things wrong with my car that I didn’t notice last night: 1) The Toyota emblem is missing from the front grill of my car, 2) My sunroof no longer slides open, and 3) The spare tire well in the … Read more

A crazy, crazy ride home: Rear-ended by a Lexus & then almost again 45 minutes later…

~Saturday~  I had a lazy, lazy day today. I never made it to the gym, but I did make it into my holiday bin to retrieve some of the red and white tissue paper to use in a Valentine’s Day basket I’m putting together. I finished up some leftover spaghetti tonight, and to that sauce … Read more

A glacial pace arm movement, interesting sweat formations, work affirmations, & Finger’s 30th…

~Friday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, and I waited on the sunny side of the street (literally, not figuratively) until the bus arrived at 8:25. The Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, but it wasn’t outrageously hot on the bus—just rageously hot. Library Man was aboard, whom I haven’t seen … Read more

What’s that on your nose and belly, lunch with Libby & Jude @ Coquettes, and a night in…

~Thursday~  I woke up at 7:00 to a dusting of snow, which had covered my car, but was not sticking to the road at all. Which was a good thing, as I had an 8:00 follow-up appointment with my dermatologist to check on the two things she did two weeks ago, and to do a … Read more

Class(less), jalapeños and cheddar, Harry Baals, dancing, and a run of sell outs…

~Wednesday~  Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Another day of class, and I did what I could to check in, mentally, now and then in some bizarre attempt to appear interested when I clearly was not. I don’t think I fooled anyone, at all, not even for a minute. During the two episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race that … Read more

ROI training of type 1 statements, a perfect pun, a dandy dissertation topic, & nipples in a bag…

~Tuesday~  I drove over to Avent Ferry and Gorman to catch the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus down to the Mission Valley Shopping Center stop, which is across the street from the building I’ll be taking a training class in all day today and tomorrow. Fortunately, I left enough time to endure the unbelievable 20 … Read more

Traveling inanimate object memories, dead relatives redux, team players in the gym, and Caribou…

~Sunday~  Oh glorious sleepful morning. I arose at 11:30. Guess what I did this morning! Right. Coffee. Breakfast. Country Gospel Music. PostSecrets. A few secrets captured my imagination this morning: to which someone had mailed in a related secret: I think about all the things my glasses have seen whenever I get a new pair. … Read more

A productive board meeting, a relational lunch, The Social Network, and drinking already in progress

~Saturday~  I stopped by Food Lion on the way to Durham and used today’s Krispy Kreme Challenge as an excuse to bring a dozen of their plain, glazed donuts to our Manbites Dog Theater board meeting. I arrived at Manbites right at noon to an appropriate amount of thanks and affirmations, both for the donuts … Read more
