The Dateable Dork

As if my beach day on Tuesday wasn’t good enough, I was absolutely bombarded with fabulousness from every direction yesterday.  How fucking cool is that???  Observe: – Work-related fabulousness: I got promoted!  OH HELLS YEAH!!!  : )  After my boss put me up for a promotion a few months ago, my company took their sweet-ass [...]

Today I re-discovered a little slice of heaven right here in good old New York – Jones Beach on a random summer Tuesday.  There is not much to say except that I find these rare but coveted beach days to be the most relaxing and most peaceful days of my entire year, days that I [...]

Could it be, my dears?  An interesting male prospect in the god-forsaken desert that is my dating life these days?  Really???  Why yes, I believe that it is.  : ) Details to come as the situation develops.  Cross your fingers for me on this one – apparently I need all the luck I can get. [...]

In the latest leg of my Weight Watchers obsession, I picked up Dr. Joy Bauer’s Complete Idiot’s Guide to Total Nutrition and have been reading up on protein, carbs, fat, vitamins, minerals, and all that fun stuff.  Really interesting, and definitely helping me to reign-in my addition to veggies and counting points.  I’m trying to [...]

Just a quick post tonight – I wanted to document the fact that everything that could possibly go wrong today actually (shockingly) went right.  Behold the fabulousness: I actually managed to get up early and go running, even though I felt like shit and was super sleepy.  Way to power through, DD. I managed to [...]

Tonight I went to visit some friends in lower CT and saw a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as part of Shakespeare on the Sound in Greenwich.  What an amazingly fun and refreshing night!  Peeps, if you happen to find yourself in Fairfield County and don’t have anything to do, I would highly recommend [...]

Sometimes I just have to laugh at the ridiculous things that life throws my way.  Case in point: I had to go through a security checkpoint this morning, and apparently the guards at this place were cracking down, big time.  I’ve been to this building a bunch of times and usually breeze right through, but [...]

I have a friend who thinks I’m getting “too skinny.”  She keeps pointing out that my face is getting too pulled in and my fingers are getting really bony and that I’m starting to “look old.”  I honestly don’t think that I’m anywhere near dangerously thin, but I’ve admitted before that my bones are starting [...]

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!  I went to the beach yesterday and got a little color on my pasty white skin (on my eyelids of all places – probably the only part of my body that didn’t get covered in sunblock!), had some great food, chilled out with some good friends, [...]

Happy 4th, everyone!  : )  Hope you’re all enjoying a nice, long, sunny, work-free weekend.  I know I am!  I’m not sure how much blogging I’ll be doing over the weekend, but I figured I’d get in a quick post now while I’m finding myself home and at the computer (on a Friday night, of [...]
