A social kind of day: Mostly Social Book Club from 3:00-5:30 and Salon from 6:30-11:00…

~Sunday~ I finished the Manbites board of directors meeting minutes this morning, and sent them to Jeff and Ed for review, before making them available to the full board. I got a chuckle out of this postcard in this week’s PostSecrets: I met Sharon, Suzanne, and Janet out at the Brier Creek Caribou for this … Read more

The enforcer calls out cursing, unpacked after almost 3 years, and Salon XXII in 3D at Mitch’s…

~Monday~  On my way to the bus stop this morning, I checked my mailbox for potential mail from Friday and Saturday’s deliveries, but the only thing in it was a sales flyer, which I promptly left there. Those things go directly into my recycle bin anyway. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16 … Read more

Up and at ’em early, a surprised stylist, and Salon XXI…

~Sunday~  I was up ridiculously early for a Sunday morning, but since I’d slept well over eight hours over the course of the last ten, it felt good, as evidenced by this Facebook status update: This was probably the most compelling PostSecret to me this week, as it highlights just how powerful the message is, … Read more

A mess of a secret, a surprise Salon XX, and questionable entertainment…

~Sunday~  I slept until almost noon. Go me. I found three, count ’em three, PostSecret postcards compelling out of this week’s collection, all for very different reasons: For Three Misspellings and Atrocious Sentence Structure All in a 30-Word Postcard Because it Made Me Think of Something that I’m Having Trouble Articulating Here, so I’m Just … Read more

Friends don’t let their friends and relatives find their porn, Salon XIX, and Lacks progress…

~Sunday~ This secret from today’s collection at PostSecret reminded me that I’ve had a conversation about this with many a gay friend. I, personally, have no concerns at all about anything of mine found after I die. These “write-in e-mails” were included after that postcard: —–email—– I cleaned out my ex-husband’s apartment when he died … Read more

Run Forrest run, a benign polyp, the cliff of symmetry, hating hideyhole, & Second Saloniversary…

~Monday~  I was up early this morning to give myself time to make the icing for my cake. It’s easy to make, and it’s easiest to spread after being chilled, which I wanted to give it the whole day to do. To 12-ounces of Cool Whip, I added one box of Jello Pistachio Nut pudding … Read more

Examcapdes, basement politics, a happy birthday wish, and Salon XVII…

~Monday~  I was running late again this morning. On my short drive over to the Park and Ride, I passed a Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, but when I got to the park and ride, there was another #9 there and a #1. I parked along the side of the road instead of in the … Read more

Missed buses, a knitter, a glitter coat, a working lunch, electronic e-cycling, and Salon XVI…

~Monday~  This morning I actually remembered that I left my thermos at work on Friday before I put the coffee on. I drove to the Food Lion Park & Ride this morning to catch either the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus or the #9 Greek Village bus, both of which terminate there. I didn’t see … Read more

Sacrificing the many for the few, she SAID playing DARTS, the value of perception, and Salon XV…

~Monday~  The 8:15 city bus arrived at 8:26. Who’s keeping track? I had just dialed the CAT line and had been instructed to “Press 1 to continue in English,” when screaming sirens came up so fast and so close that I couldn’t hear anything on the other end of the line, so I hung up. … Read more
