What glam isn’t, a $411 payment, a racy “voice note,” an airport run, and a drag…

~Tuesday~  I was back on the 8:15 bus today, which was driven by the usual driver, but with unusual hair. Not unusual in general, just unusual for her. It was teased out, and I liked it. A couple of stops into the route, a plus-sized lady boarded with a turquoise and lime green top on. … Read more

Xolani departs, breafasting with Robert @ the Farmers’ Market, an ASB reunion, & some scareyoke…

~Sunday~  My alarm went off 6:00 and I snoozed until the 6:09 ring. I didn’t hear any movement in the hallway, which was surprising since Xolani and I had to leave at 6:30 to head downtown to the Clarion Hotel to meet Jesse and the others for their trip to DC. I knocked on Xolani’s door, … Read more

Riding the bus with Xolani, Google on The Brickyard, & The Macho Paradox lecture…

~Wednesday~  Xolani and I rode the bus together this morning. It was running a little behind, arriving at our stop closer to 7:30 than 7:20. Li’l Dino boarded at her stop and she said hello to me while touching my shoulder as she passed me. Cell Phone Lady boarded at her regular stop and she … Read more

101 Dalmatians, a translucent bag, a polyester uniform, and dinner with the Gulf Coast ASB kids…

~Tuesday~  I had a two-bus ride to work this morning, as I had a 9:00-10:30 meeting in a building I don’t work in. The first leg was the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus, upon which a girl boarding after me walked by sporting an old-fashioned, metal, 101 Dalmatians, lunch box. Following closely behind her was … Read more

Farmers’ Market breakfast, upper body work, dinner w/Joe, coffee w/Anna, bar night out…

~Saturday~  We were up shortly after eight, and at the NC State’s Farmers’ Market Restaurant for breakfast by 10:00. We each had their most delicious French Toast. I had an egg over easy on the side with mine, and Robert had a side of bacon with his. Back at home, I was in and out, … Read more

A mental health day, seeing The Blind Side, and soup at The Borough…

~Friday~  I took a “mental health day” from work today—taking eight hours of leave time, and sleeping a glorious eight hours. I caught up a day of my blog, did some laundry, and got through my pile of mail from last week. Robert came over after work, and we went to see Sandra Bullock‘s Academy Award-winning … Read more

A late start, a belated anniversary, lost & thrown away, an affirmation, & TO-DOs…

~Monday~  I’m itching to get back to my “life’s routine,” but I didn’t start the day that way, waking up five minutes after I should have been at work. I’d set my alarm clock for 7:30PM instead of 7:30AM. After a quick e-mail to my boss, I rushed through my morning ritual and arrived at … Read more

Returning home from New Orleans, a serious affirmation, and winding down the weekend…

~Sunday~  We were up and at ’em bright and early this morning, checking out at 7:30, stopping for a quick gas fill-up, and checking in for our flights. On the New Orleans-to-Atlanta leg, there were monitors on the backs of each seat and many members of the group played electronic trivia against each other. We … Read more
