Perfectly 69, banana pudding to die for, smelling the roses, average bills, and airline up-sells…

~Tuesday~  I had a good eating week this week, and I appreciated that my scale agreed with me on that this morning. Progress. Since I’d made my breakfast and lunch sandwiches last night, and my coffee pot was set to automatically start brewing my coffee at 8:00, I was essentially ready to go when I … Read more

She works hard for her money, leg-rubbing intimacy, lunch w/Myra & Sarah, & wrong major humor…

~Wednesday~  I drove into work this morning and parked in some 2-hour curbside parking near my office. I parked at 8:40 and promptly set my phone alarm clock to 10:30 to get out there and move it by 10:40. I happened to look at the time at 10:44 and found my alarm set to 10:30 … Read more

A shining intern, “rope top” solved, a family affirmation, stick shift happy, and bar hopping…

~Friday~  I was up on time this morning, and I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus on Gorman up by Avent Ferry Road. I didn’t take any “buscapade” notes about this morning’s ride, so it was either totally unremarkable, or I was distracted reading Facebook updates on my phone, or possibly sleeping, on the … Read more

A rhetorically brilliant sign, stretching myself as emcee, a close call with convenience, & coffee..

~Monday~  I caught the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus this morning and was pleased to get a seat. A young lady with enough luggage with her that it could have easily taken up the seat next to her—and in fact it later did when the seat became available—sat across from me. At one point, with … Read more

A Sunday secret, a cover-up FAIL, a taxing day, an ASB celebration, & drinks out…

~Sunday~  I was up at about 8:30, put on a pot of coffee, and made two sausage-egg-and-cheese sandwiches for breakfast for us. I liked this PostSecret because it’s a reminder that always being responsible (which I have been most of my life) is not necessarily the best thing: Shortly after Robert left to head back … Read more

A mental health day, a new workout, a “too soon” April Fool’s joke, & hanging out at the library…

~Friday~  I took a mental health day off work today and gloriously slept in until almost noon. I carried my ass to the gym (How Southern!) at 1:00, where I did 200 ab crunches and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, changing from my long-time exercise option of “Hill” to the one that said, “Cardio.” … Read more

NEMATOMOBILE repairs and a bag of affirmations from my ASB Habitat trip…

~Tuesday~  I dropped off my car bright and early at Thompson-Cadillac-Pontiac-GMC Collision Repair, where after checking it in they had someone from Enterprise come get me to obtain the rental car I’ll be using while they’re doing the repair work. Katie, Enterprise Assistant Manager, picked me up in a Chevy Cobalt, and drove me the … Read more

Back to the buscapades, and a collection of affirmations from my 2011 ASB Gulf Coast trip…

~Monday~  I was at the city bus stop at 7:45, and the bus arrived at 7:53. There was a new driver today, an older lady, who said hello in response to my good morning. Just as the doors were closing Exercising Asian Man ran up to the door and boarded. He took the seat in … Read more
