Self-care, love and friendship

Happy Valentine’s day. And by that I don’t mean I hope someone bought you a card or really anything. What I hope is that people in your life show you through their actions that you are loved.
Today is the day that I begin to show that to myself by getting back on the exercise wagon. [...]

belated birthday celebrations

On Monday, I emailed a friend and basically told him that we needed to get together because he needed to buy me a birthday drink.
For some reason, he didn’t flinch and we’re scheduled to meet at The Sample Room tonight at 6:00.
I fully intend on discussing the following:

His love life
Whether he would give me some [...]

Metaphorically Poolside

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 [...]

Getting back in the pool

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 [...]

Saturday Photo Scavenger: Bottle

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 [...]

The one where I scream like a girl

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 [...]

1000 words

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 [...]

I knew the day would come

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.

Keeping my mind off it

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 [...]

Patterns

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 [...]
