Metaphorically speaking, Re: this post, it turns out all I’m really ready for is to get my suit on. When it comes to actually taking off the cover-up and getting in the pool, I can’t seem to get there.
But it’s OK to sit on the lounge and gaze out over the pool and enjoy [...]

OK interwebs. Lend me your expertise.
I’m loath to spend any money on dating sites this year. I’d rather have that money for buying gifts and souviners on my trip in November. I haven’t spent anything on dating since last year and by god I don’t intend to start now. But I am feeling like I [...]

I wish I had a picture of the “bottle neck” that certain people at work can be. But instead, I have a picture of the bottle that sort of thing pushes me to:

I’m dealing with a migraine that won’t bloom and won’t go away while I’m washing and priming walls today. I’m taking it [...]

Or, "I’d like someone else to do my killin’, thankyouverymuch."
One of the more disturbing discoveries I’ve made during The Great Declutter of ‘08 is the unmistakable evidence that we are not alone in the house. Yes, it looked like Mickey and Minnie were shacking up with us.
Like any self-respecting shame filled home-maker, I bought a [...]

Or at least 1000 posts.
I know. I’m all about the milestones.
Today marks my 1000th post on this here little experiment. Of course, that counts even the lame ones (like this, this, this and this to point you to just a few examples of my ability to be lame.) (Note: this list is NOT exhaustive.)
Sometimes I [...]

Afterall, I turned on the “send matches” option. Even though I didn’t activate my profile.
It still felt like a kick in the gut when Mr. Hockey’s picture was in the email today.

Yeah right.
Several friends have asked me this week if I ever heard more from Mr. Hockey. The answer is no, but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear from him today.
Tonight I have two tickets to see Triple Espresso. A Comedy. A very, very funny, long-running comedy. I’ve seen it twice, years ago. It’s closing soon [...]

or maybe it’s cycles. Or OH! I know! It’s a CONSPIRACY! No, just kidding. I know that’s not it.
I’ve been reading my regular list of reads this week and one of the things I’ve noticed is that a lot of people are going through the same sort of relationship upheaval that I’m going through.
Now, while [...]

I hate that there are so reminders of Mr Hockey lately. “Miracle” or “Glory“ Both on TV Saturday. Both in his DVD library. Both favorite topics (hockey and civil war.)
