Fuck. Not literally, Lord knows that ain’t happening. I can’t get this fucker and that night out of my head. I’ve been playing the ‘what if’ game and these scenarios end up going nowhere, but they’re pretty fun while they last. Granted, they’re all predicated on the premise that he’s not married and are therefore... Continue Reading →

I can’t sleep. My mind is awake and more importantly, my body is WIDE awake. And it’s HIS fault. I keep replaying the other night in my head and the details are foggy, but some are so clear that it’s a bit scary, really. Not scary like ‘frightening’, but scary as in ‘why can’t I...

It's been a minute, I know. I never wanted to be the person who found a new hobby/ job/ boyfriend and fell off the face of the earth, but I suppose it must seem that way. But before you panic, no- I am emphatically NOT back with THAT GUY. Yes, we are friends, but there... Continue Reading →

Have you ever wondered whether someone considers you 'disposable'? It's an interesting concept, isn't it? I had dinner with an old friend last night and we got to discussing expectations. The example began with THAT GUY. "I have no expectations of him anymore," I said, "and he's never really had any expectations of me, so... Continue Reading →

I think I’m broken. For real- I think there’s a part of me that just doesn’t work right anymore (assuming it ever worked correctly to begin with). Most people have the ability to moderate emotion- I don’t. When I love, I love too hard. When I hate, it’s with the burning passion of a thousand... Continue Reading →

So I did it. Remember how I said that it was hurting me to think that I’d never see THAT GUY again? Well, I took the plunge and emailed him (at great risk to my ego), and asked him to meet because I wanted to see him one more time and catch up. As I... Continue Reading →

It's almost over. I haven't left my shop before 2am in two weeks. I haven't gone to bed before 3am on most of those days. I've been subsisting on Panera charged lemonade, chocolate chips and broken Oreos. But...it's almost over. Truth be told, I rather enjoy the pace. It takes me back to the mid-90's...

This is one of those 'feel good' posts that will reinforce your faith in Karma, Wise Reader. Just try not to laugh too hard. I hate my car. (I should probably add that I drive a relatively expensive luxury automobile that costs more than some people earn in a year, so feel free to temper... Continue Reading →

So I woke up and thought, “I need to blog”. I opened my app and what do I see waiting for me, but the draft of a post about how I keep forgetting things. …a draft that I had forgotten to publish. So yeah, you’re getting two posts this morning. Sucks to be you, I... Continue Reading →

So here I sit...in the breakfast room of a hotel in downtown Chicago, waiting to head over to Northwestern Hospital for an appointment...Nothing serious, mind you- just a check up. But it's an annoying intrusion into my otherwise busy schedule at this time of year. As I'm sure you can imagine, November and December are... Continue Reading →
