The Dateable Dork

Note: I’ll be away all this week… without a computer.  Shocking, I know!  But don’t worry, I’ll be back by the weekend, hopefully with some semi-warm-weather stories to share.  I wish I could say this was a vacation, but alas, it’s a dorky business trip.  Hope I don’t get sick on the plane!
This weekend was [...]

1.  A wrecking ball to clear up my sinuses.  Waaaaaaaa.  I can’t breathe.  This sucks.  I want my mommy.

Dudes, I am still hopped up on cold medicine and am dealing with the constant leakage of multiple fluids from various parts of my face.  Ewww.  I filled up an entire garbage can with tissues today.  I can’t breathe, I’m constantly sneezing, and I’m having the weirdest dreams thanks to all the Advil.  This sucks!  [...]

Have you heard the remix of Kanye West’s Love Lockdown on the radio lately?  I think this song totally rocks, especially considering my long-time love of both dance music and Kanye West.  You should see me rocking out to this song – my dorky dance moves are in full effect, not to mention the loud [...]

Remember Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure?  Bill and Ted get totally stoned and fly around through space and time in a magical phone booth with George Carlin, meeting lots of historical dudes and hot women along the way?  We all loved this movie, right?  Well, my dears, I accidentally had my very own totally excellent [...]

I cannot tell you what a relief it was to hear that good news from the doctor on Friday.  Between that and the birthday festivities, I am really feeling SO much better.  I am slowly starting to feel like myself again, which is such a refreshing perspective after several months of feeling – to be [...]

Today is my birthday – yay!  : )  I’ve gotta say, I love my birthday.  It’s the only day of the year where you can be the center of attention and not feel guilty about it.  Love it!  People give you hugs and presents and buy you food and drinks and tell you how freaking [...]

Sometimes I think about upcoming events, and it really scares the shit out of me.  Observe:
Exhibit A: Tomorrow afternoon I have yet another appointment with my BFF the gynecologist, at which point I’m supposed to get back all the results of the battery of tests from my last appointment a few weeks ago.  Since I [...]

I wanted to say a little bit more about my phone conversation with the new male prospect the other night.  Honey brought up a very good point in her comment – that she would be devastated if her boyfriend had a conversation like the one the NMP and I had.  Even though we didn’t actually [...]

Today, I am proud.  Today, as I watched the live inauguration coverage from a conference room in my office, I sat on the edge of my seat, wide-eyed, with child-like awe.  I watched a historic right of passage unfold right before my eyes.  And I watched as Obama uttered the phrase “we are ready to [...]
